Sharp Micro Four Thirds 8k Camera on Display at CES

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 9, 2019




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.

Specs:

  • 8k at 30 fps in H.265 codec (Sharp is working on 60 fps)
  • Price under $5,000
  • 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)
  • The official announcement is expected at the 2019 NAB show
