Photokina 2014 topic, support our team
Unfortunately, the firmware on Leica S (Type 007) at Photokina has not yet supported the 4K@24fps video mode, but the 1080p HD-video were looking good on full-size scanned Medium Format sensor. However, no recording on your card were allowed. Tether…

@Tron Indeed, according to the Leica representatives, even though Leica D-Lux looks identical to LX100, the flat fielding and color correction software is different.

@Umii I've spoken with Matt Frazer and some other people in Panasonic booth. It appears, that answer is NO: curves doesn't create multiple iso points, but applies adjustment to the image already captured by sensor. @mrbill I'll tr…

@Vitaliy_Kiselev >Still not available, but in plans. Yes, indeed, these three are still in plans, but would appear not early as the end of 2015, according to the official representative at Photokina. PL-mount lenses are in higher priority :-/

10.5mm F0.95 Voigtlander Lens
According to Voigtländer representative at Photokina, the price of Voigtländer 10.5mm f/0.95 should be more-or-less comparable to other Nokton f/0.95 lenses. Here is how the out-of-focus "bokeh" looks like on Voigtländer Nokton 10.5mm…

10.5mm F0.95 Voigtlander Lens
For a long time we have had no prime rectilinear lens native to the Micro Four Thirds mount with focal distance less than 12mm, but now we can have a choice of at least four: Kowa Prominar 8.5mm f/2.8, SLR Magic HyperPrime Cine 10mm T2.1, Samyang 10…

LX100 is similar to GX7 in size, and it even shares the same battery and the EVF. However its sensor and processor are GH4 alike.

Kodak PixPro S1 m43 camera
S1 looks like a decent µ4/3 camera within $500 price range. Despite of some drawbacks, it's encouraging to see: apparently good imaging capabilities, the use of the micro USB port for battery charging, sensor-shift image stabilization, interval…

External Flash for GX7
I think, these are the same models. Note, that FL360 (without "L") is an older model that doesn't have a LED light and doesn't support wireless control via Wi-Fi. Another Panasonic flash with LED and WiFi is just announced FL580L.

@Tron @JohnTollwannabe I've just copied what G. Sciorio said. IMHO, 4k 10 bit 4:2:2 recorders are not going to be cheap no matter what is the input port. @Ralph_B The manual is not yet available.
