    VK , I knew it did 120fps , I just didn't think it was the same sensor as the GH5S,pocket 2 or Terra , as they didn't offer the 120fps at 4k.

    Check topic title even :-)

  • sammysammy

    oh nice, didnt know that sensor was capable of 120fps @4k

  • IronFilmIronFilm

    Yes. Probably same as in the Terra 4K too

  • sammysammy

    Is it the same sensor that is in the GH5s and pocket 2?

    I would love to be proven wrong, but almost nobody ships their cameras on time these days (or when they do ship, it's in very limited quantities).

  • meimei

    Which year? You seem pretty skeptical.

  • eatstoomuchjameatstoomuchjam

    For a company the size of Z-Cam to ship on time would be an enormous surprise. I'd expect the camera to ship between August and November.

  • meimei

    He said June they were aiming for I believe, and BM September. I'm June that's a lot better than September. But HDMI recording and internal raw, and 12-14 bit modes important.

    The firmware updates improved the image quite a bit. I really hated the camera when I first received it. Now I'd consider using it for something or other. Even with a fairly mediocre image, the form factor is compelling.

    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.

    Nice job on the interview!

    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.

  • eatstoomuchjameatstoomuchjam

    So many arguments online about which of two unreleased cameras is better. It's unlikely anybody will have their hands on either of these cameras for about the next 6 months... and if the past for either company holds true, each will ship with cruddy bug-filled firmware initially. I look forward to seeing where both are in 9-12 months, though!

    @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 :)

    @utezet did you even see the thread here in this forum?

  • utezetutezet

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

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @utezet

    Wow. We have quite a lot of E1 owners. And all real life usage footage I saw was fine.
    And this is with $199 camera.

  • utezetutezet

    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.

    Blackmagic pocket cam 4K has smoked this.

    BMPCC4K doesn't have 4K 120fps!

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