Panasonic announces tiny box-style video camera

Panasonic has announced Lumix BGH1, a unique device that the company describes as a "box-style mirror-less cinema and live event camera."According to The Verge, the mini camera has a Micro Four Thirds sensor and a compact cubic design, with one of the camera's sides almost completely dominated by the lens mount.

Designed for versatility, expandability, and ease of installation, the BGH1 camera can be used in multi-camera situations involving drones, live streaming, and other complex setups.

The camera has Power over Ethernet+, meaning it can be powered with the same cable that connects it to a network, and up to 12 of them can be controlled at once with the accompanying Lumix Tether for Multi-camera app.
