@Vitaliy_Kiselev Agreed... It looks like they are trying to please all (annoying) camera nerds out there (myself included).

I hope they show us a very customizable menu at NAB. Until now i can't figure out the target customer for that camera and if they are capable to deliver something like that. It's all about specs...

E2 - USA Trade War Special Price: $33,880 USD *Not inclusive of any import tariff and local taxes : Tariff: add $10,000 USD

Extra battery : $5000 USD

E2 - All other countries: $1999.00 USD !!! :)

hahahaha! Funny.

But also a little too close to the truth perhaps....

Global Shutter/Rolling Shutter. We will have a global shutter version shortly to help those who need Globla shutter in their application. Global shutter will have less dynamic range but sometimes it's needed. Then we make one.

Interesting. Many have promised to implement global shutter but no one seems to have done it well yet (aside from a few rare exceptions such as F55 or Digital Bolex).

When asked about crop factor, the Z-Cam guy said "You can refer to GH5s"

Also, this:

We use Sony latest M43 sensor with BSI technology embedded and it's video oriented sensor. I think this sensor can compete any APSC sensor even some full frame sensors. We have E2 equipped with the most advanced ISP for color and noise reduction. To be honest, the image quality will surprise you.

So it seems like MAR is a real possibility.

Well, you can go buy a GH5s right now and have an excellent camera that you can use.

This camera seems to exist right now as a spec sheet and a prototype which has made a couple of short videos near the Z-Cam office. I don't think they've announced general availability yet and when they do, there is no guarantee that they will hit their shipping date. Even after the camera ships, if the initial firmware is as bad as the Z-Cam E1, you will be plagued with problems until they release an update that fixes major issues (based on E1 history, this could be between 6 and 18 months).

So... if you need a two-camera setup in the next 6-12 months, you might very well be better off with a GH5s... or really, any other camera that actually exists in the real world. :)

Blackmagic pocket cam 4K has smoked this.

Yes, finally a MFT camera that uses NP-F batteries natively!

Our interview - Z Cam E2 4K m43 camera with 4K 10bit 120fps

All Cameras made by BM produced a nice Image All z-Cams so gar Not so much. We will see. I do Not Trust them at all. The Last one was a rip off. But if they managed to produce a product that is finally good, i will change my mind. I am pretty shure, that companies have organic structures and a Special character. It ist pretty unlikely they changed their philosophy, if the Image coming out of this Thing is anything but horrible, it will be a big surprise. Lets see.

Incorrect. I saw footage direct out of the camera. Unusable.

@IronFilm Yeah, pretty cool it has 120fps but I personally would hardly use that feature. I never touch 120 on the GH5. 60p is plenty, 120fps on the pocket in 2K is enough me if I need it :)

I purchased (3) E1's when their price dropped at the end of 2017. Once I updated the firmware, I was able to dial in the image quality to match that of my other cameras with the same sensor. Being able to use them with my m4/3 lenses is a pretty big deal and being able to use/place them in various production situations has been great. I would expect the same, at a much higher level, from their latest offering.

I admit i saw the footage before any firmware update. Firmware was untouched. I remember the picture was somewhat muddy and dull. I did not follow any improvements. Maybe i am wrong and they fixed it. Nevertheless i am sceptical.
