Panasonic VariCam LT, new 4K for cinema

Panasonic announces the new VariCam LT, based on MOS sensor 35mm single chip originally developed for the VariCam 35 (by which the VariCam LT has a lot in common, starting from the analogous dynamic range of 14 stops).


Unlike the latter, VariCam LT is more compact and lightweight (2.7 kg), and is therefore more directed towards freelance and documentary filmmakers, who want a true 4K camera designed for use by a single operator.

LT VariCam records in both 4K (4096 x 2160) both in UHD (3840 x 2160) using EF lenses (available on request the PL mount). It supports 60 fps in 4K and, thanks to a trimming of the central part of the image, can reach 240 fps for a super slow-motion in HD and 2K resolution.

Two native ISO settings: 800 and 5,000. The VariCam LT is compatible with both the viewfinder Panasonic that with those third parties and supplied complete with shoulder pad, handle and mounting bracket PL. It will be available from March 2016 at a recommended price of 18,000 euros (camera body only).

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
