13x optical zoom
Leica Dicomar 4K zoom lens with F2.8 aperture
V-Log L gamma curve
12 stops of latitude

The DVX200 is a multi-purpose camera -- small and light -- ideal for documentary and low-budget work, while still providing high image quality and color science. Here's a bit from the press release:
The DVX200 will be optimized for 4K/HD production and shares the esteemed VariCam family characteristics of filmic tonality and colorimetry, with natural, subtle rendering of skin flesh tones. It will offer a V-Log curve emulating the natural grey-scale rendition of the VariCam 35.
The DVX200 will be available in Fall 2015 with a suggested list price under $5000.
