Panasonic 8K camera with 33MP stills(!) is the future.

Quesabesde and ePhotozine got info from Panasonic about their 8K plans. ePhotozine writes:

“Panasonic announced plans for future 4K and 8K video and photo features, including 4K at 60fps and 120fps, as well as the ability to take 33 megapixel still images from 8K video footage. They say they are planning to have this technology ready for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games. No further information was given at the time.“

It’s very likely the GH5 will not be that first 8K camera. More like the GH6 or another High End model coming between 2017 and 2020. The GH5 is set to be released in 2016 already!
