Hands on

We found the Yi-M1 felt quite good in the hand, with a rubberised front grip on the camera. The camera is also surprisingly light, being made out of plastic (with a metal lens mount), and weighing just 280g.

Camera

Screen size is a LOT smaller than the renders showed.. Really poor utilization of the available space.

Common thing that Chinese use sometimes. Makes design with screen off look more slick. I also think that screen must be without any edges and must be 2K. But it requires very good software to detect only necessary one. Plus it is more expensive.

The footage from Yi M1 is good. Have profiles for post?

I don't see anything particularly special in the vid--doesn't look much different from 1080p--but we shall see.

Let's not start it, official G7 kit US price for US is $797.

Yi interview about M1 camera, @AKED

Does it have manual control in the video mode?

Most probably yes. If our team will have time on weekend we can ask.

@DrDave

As it is only in class, it is certainly best :-) All mathematically correct.

Their sensor is same as newest Olympus, hence, by idea stills raw quality just match 1:1.

@chef

Nope, it is just clicks count, means that more flamers are discussing this camera and checking it.

@chef

Quite little point as it is international prices.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 + 14-42mm kit is $399 now :-)
