Sharp is showing off their new 8k Micro Four Thirds camera first at the 2019 CES show in Las Vegas. Honestly, I expected a lot more 8k cameras this year since all the TV’s are coming, but we should see more this year and next.

  • No sensor info besides Micro Four Thirds format
  • 5″ inch touchscreen
  • 1 SD card slot
  • On sensor stabilization
  • Looks like the Blackmagic Pocket camera
  • Not officially announced yet (a prototype was shown at CES)
