I'm in the market for a "casual" 4K video recorder. It would only be used to create archival footage of interviews; no need for ultra-fast action-capture, color can be family-photo-good-enough. From what you asserted above, I get the impression that Nikon and Canon have ceded the consumer-grade 4K camcorder market to other competitors, is that the case?
- callmeed 10y agoYeah, definitely. You can find tons of reviews on various sites (DP Review is great) and plenty of sample footage on YouTube. I'd definitely suggest getting something with an external mic jack–getting good audio makes a big difference.

- jbarham 10y agoNikon has never been a contender in video. Canon has but it's ceding a lot of ground to Panasonic (GH4/GH5) and Sony (A7S) in 4K video as it doesn't want to cannibalize sales of its much more expensive video cameras.
