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…

It was and is inevitable. You have to run the Megapixel race too if you want to survive in the digital camera business. Fuji Manager Toshihisa Iida confirmed in a Dpreview Interview that they will launch a higher MP sensor camera. The good news is that all current X lenses can resolve future high resolution sensors.
