Sony took the wraps off a new, low-cost 4K camcorder at the International CES 2014 on Monday, bringing a much-needed tool to a market still suffering from a lack of content.
The FDR-AX100 camcorder will capture 4K/30p Ultra HD in a form factor that's roughly palm-sized. It should be priced at around $2000 and will be available in March.
