50mm F1.1 Sakar, Kamlan and V2 lens
Really hard to find any mention of the V2, is it not released yet?

Gotcha, so not a proper upgrade. Almost pulled the trigger on the wg2 a while back, but according to some reviews it was a bit noisy and not that stable. Maybe unavoidable in that small package. Maybe there will be an upgraded wg3 down the line.

I'm confused about this, compared to the first wg2. Whats the difference? Less waterproof and cheaper?

Z-CAM E2 camera is coming with 4K at 120fps
@Vitaliy_Kiselev I saw on the Facebook page that prores is coming, just pending license approval, so I guess there will be a few updates on bitrates and formats in the coming days/weeks, but then at least the early speculation that you'd only g…

Man, where is the hype for this camera? Literally started arriving on people's doorstep late last week, and I can't find a single peep about it anywhere except on the closed Facebook page. I guess they don't have a marketing dept... A…

So, I've seen people saying bitrate is 1.6gbps (~200MB/s), but the specs on the website says 230/200 Mbps (bits, not bytes). So which is correct and which is wrong? 230Mbits/s is more likely, no?

Xiaomi Xiaoyi YI-M1 m43 camera, 4K video, $213 only now for kit
Is that the final version you think? Screen size is a LOT smaller than the renders showed.. Really poor utilization of the available space.

GH4 4K Panasonic video camera, official topic
@bwhitz I'm no expert, but I think you're right that 4k 4:2:0 actually downscales to 1080p 4:4:4 which is cool and all, but I think it really demonstrates how silly it is to not have higher than 4:2:0 modes for 1080 in the cam.. This idea …

I'd assumed that 720p would surpass the 1080's 96fps, but I've seen no mention of 720 overcranking at all. What am I missing?

GH4 4K Panasonic video camera, official topic
Has it been confirmed (or as confirmed as it can be before announcement) that it shoots 4k@96fps? I've seen some speculation that "max 96fps" referred to 1080p, as the wording wasn't quite presise. That would be a bit of a bummer.

If I've understood correctly, there's the Metabones Speedbooster (highend), Mitakon/zhongyi Lens Turbo (middle), and fotodiox/vizilex light cannon (low end, but making a mkII). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Waterproof all your electronics
Similar products in the past have been criticized for being poisonous to inhale (the small particles acting similarly to asbestos), so be sure to wear a mask while applying.
