    Is there an email or contact where we can write and ask for 23.976p?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    I've also looked at the specs of the sensor that is used in this camera and it is capable of 24p in full 20 MP resolution.

    It says nothing, as it is LSI, software and all design that actually work.

    As for hacks, it is pointless questions now.

    Would it be possible to hack this camera's firmware to get higher bitrates and 24p in all resolutions? I've also looked at the specs of the sensor that is used in this camera and it is capable of 24p in full 20 MP resolution.

  • DrDaveDrDave

    Wow, this looks really cool--too bad there is no 24p, but it is super cheap for a small, compact system with a Sony sensor. Maybe we can request a custom model.

    Will sell on JD.com since September 23rd.

    @kurth

    My price is from official Yi site, Chinese retail price converted into USD.

    As for your link - US prices are not officially revealed (I actually do not care). So it is some fantasy for now.

    They seem very open to the idea of outside software development.

    Look at the dev program they have for the Yi Action Camera 4K...

    If they give low level enough access and there is decent SD card controller... who knows maybe 24-30 DNG per second raw...

    In the photos it shows 3840 x 2160, but in the stats it has 4096 x 2160. Typo?

    Could be really interesting, want to know this "hdr shooting mode", just to see if this little camera can face the match to offer an high dynamic range video.

    They did not mention the bitrate

  • chefchef

    VK you need to hack it! lol

    May be 42.5mm F1.8 is modified 42.5 f1.7 ? I don't think that company can create 2 lens from nothing so quickly

    They can. Chinese lenses design is strong lately.

    Their 42.5mm is very simple, nothing to do with Panasonic, only 6 lenses in 6 groups. But we have topic for it.

  • MckiniseMckinise

    If this can provide GH4 level imaging, I may be in the market for a few of them.

    is's m43 bayonet, so whery interesting. May be 42.5mm F1.8 is modified 42.5 f1.7 ? I don't think that company can create 2 lens from nothing so quickly

  • caveportcaveport

    Likely to be another action cam. I did not see any mention of m43.
