Panasonic officially took the wraps off the AG-AF100A cinema camcorder today as an update to the (now discontinued) AF100.

The AF100A retails for $4,595; however, I noticed that B&H already has it in stock for $3,999. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

There’s no expiration date listed for the deal, so I can’t say how long it will last. See the deal on B&H Photo’s website.
