The video resolution wars aren't over. In fact, they are just ramping due to the advent of two new Ultra HD 4K capable cameras on the horizon. These cameras, the Panasonic GH4 and Kinefinity KineMax, are going to be released shortly. With incredible specs and low prices (for electronics at least) 2014 is going to be the year 4K finally goes mainstream.

When choosing between these two cameras, you need to know what your shooting style is. If you don't know what type of look you're trying to achieve then you really cannot make an informed purchase. Let's start by analyzing Panasonic's offering. The GH4 is by far smaller and lighter. It resembles a shrunken-down DLSR. The GH4's small size is tied to its mirror-less technology; hence it's considered a DSLM, not R. The GH4 is also being sold alongside an interface unit that seriously ups the already impressive on-board specs (including giving users professional audio connections).

Some of the highlights of this camera include the ability to capture a both cinematic 4K imagery and the television UHD standard. The main difference in those two formats is the width of the image. Aside from its 4K clarity, the GH4 boasts an absurdly high 96 fps mode when shooting in Full HD 1080p. Without the interface module, this bad boy runs for 1,700 smackers, but when the two join forces the price jumps to $3,300.

Still, all things considered that's a steal. The GH4 is truly a pro video camera wedged into a consumer price bracket. It's aimed at a wide-array of buyers. Professional photographers are always looking for lighter, yet up-to-snuff gear and the GH4 after all takes greats stills. On the other hand, film school students can future proof their work by shooting in 4K.

Kinefinity's KineMax on the other hand is an all-aluminum, nigh indestructible traditional style video camera... traditional meaning that the camera's enclosure is much longer and thicker than the compact GH4. Yet, inside the menacing enclosure is a true beast.

Sporting a "Max" resolution of 6K, that's 18 megapixels for all you resolution lovers out there, you can literally shoot video footage top of a moving train and still manage to get smoother footage. All those pixels really pack a punch. Of course, the KineMax is able to record lower resolution footage (that should still look epic nonetheless) in 3K and 1080p modes, among others. Pricing has not yet been announced, but it's going to be a helluva lot more than the GH4.

Would you consider buying one or both of these cameras? Or are you of the opinion that your iPhone 5s or Galaxy S4 takes good enough video? Let us know in the comments section below.
