Two new 4K mirrorless cameras to come soon: Panasonic GX8 and Fuji X-PRO2?

4K is one of the new Big words camera manufacturers cannot ignore. So it will not surprise anyone here that both next Panasonic and Fuji cameras will have 4K video recording:

1) The Panasonic GX7 successor (GX8?) will be announced in May and certainly feature 4K recording

2) The Fuji X-PRO 2 scheduled for a late 2015 release should become Fuji’s first camera with 4K recording (says Fujirumors). It will be interesting to see how Fuji will fix the X-trans weakness on the video front…

P.S.: Also Sony should announce a new E-mount 4K camera soon…
