How good is the E2 internal audio for capturing the sounds of the environment one is shooting in? It is funny that most videos posted to show off new cameras, including by "influencers" and even talented ones (Philip Bloom) dump the camera's audio track and overlay music. Often scenes are shot with long telephoto lenses and so there could never be audio matching what one sees using camera mics (Philip Bloom). and audio is supposed to be 50% of video, and I do not think this refers to music tracks alone.

Anyway, for street video where one gets close to subjects big rigs, including external mics, are not possible; one has to rely on what is built in:

WDR (not HDR) video. WDR mode expands the DR by two stops by having different subpixels use different shutter speeds (exposure) for highlights and low lights simultaneously (no ghosting). This was an assignment to shoot wall art (outside) and its production in bright light and shade. Color was important, so (4K) ProRes 422HQ 10bit Zlog2.

160P with Neat Video noise reduction.

Claimed DR 14 stops in no where close to real DR 10.5 ?

ZRAW video correctly exposed:

No noise reduction.

120P 10bit Slow Motion and in Low Light:

4K 60P example: In this video, the motion is in playing instruments: fingers flying on a keyboard, and fingering and bowing violins. This intricate motion needs to be well-captured. Motion is not just sports and fast cars.

Looks like E2C is up for preorder on B&H now.

For E2 RAW, we have several phases of release. The first version is coming soon.

To make RAW usable we have to have a convertion software to do one button convertion to usable formats. We also integrate the tool for exposure and white balance adjustment as well.

We are releasing a 3:1 RAW with upto 4K30fps edition first. It's just for high quaity recording needs. Eventually we will do higher compression and upto 4K60fps. Depending on different compression ratio, the PC software may have different acceleration strategy.
