Camera Overview — Panasonic EVA1

The Panasonic EVA1 is a Super 35 cinema camera built around a 5720 x 3016 sensor — roughly 17.25 megapixels effective — capable of capturing 5.7K RAW externally and 4K DCI (4096 x 2160) internally. It's a camera clearly aimed at professional filmmakers who need serious imaging capability in a compact, portable body. The magnesium alloy and polycarbonate construction keeps the weight at just 1.2 kg, making it genuinely hand-holdable for run-and-gun documentary and event work.

The Canon EF mount opens up a wide ecosystem of glass, and the 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording with support for V-Log and V-Gamut color profiles gives colorists meaningful latitude in post. Frame rate options are extensive, reaching all the way to 240fps, which supports meaningful slow-motion capture. The ISO range runs from 200 to 25600, giving the camera flexibility across a range of lighting conditions.

A 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD at 1,150,000 dots handles monitoring duties, while the connectivity suite includes full-size HDMI Type A output, dual XLR microphone inputs, and a 3.5mm headphone jack — a thoughtful audio setup for a camera of this size. The EVA1 records to SD media and uses the Panasonic AG-VBR battery series.
