Do you need studio/EFP controls or just any manual lens? That might be the most challenging piece of the puzzle. Canon is developing a 4K zoom lens but it is massive, likely to be very expensive, and not even available yet. And still not a long zoom range needed for sports. I looked at the new Hitachi 4K camera and it produces an impressive picture with HD glass and 1080p imagers. I think Grass Valley does, too, but I didn't evaluate it. Or would you consider some single-CMOS cameras? I have been comparing some Sony single-CMOS (bayer, EXMOR based) cameras to some Sony 3-CMOS cameras and the 3-CMOS cameras excel in almost every way for live productions. Email me if you want to talk more. I am not the most experienced in high-end systems but can offer some input on the high-end industrial grade stuff. Dan dan.grimes(at)unlv.edu<http://unlv.edu>
