Not that Im aware of but Varicam LT which is EF has anamorphic desqueeze so I assume EVA1 would have one too.

VariCam LT has an interchangeable lens mount for both EF and PL.

LT also has the option of a PL mount though too.

That's one of them, yes.

Correct on the 4K.
I would hope for Spring but there's not an officially released date. Now that I've said that I'm sure you'll all be posting that Mitch Said It's This!!! and I'll get in trouble.

Hey there's anamorphic adapters out there that countless people use so future firmware update???
For internally recorded video.
With an external recorder you can capture 4K 60p 10-bit 4:2:2.
That is a VERY GOOD QUESTION.

I see a lot of 4:2:0s in there.... and data rates lower than FS7 II... Will have to wait for real world examples.

Don't have it in front of me but I think 120p is 10-bit 422 and 240p is 8-bit 420. It's a data rate thing.

No, and that's been mitigated in recent updates to the VLT.

It is important to compare similar formats.
The FS7 may have higher data rates but those are exclusively used for 50p and 60p 4k. For 30p the 300mbps is actually lower than the 400mbps used on the EVA1. 24p on the FS7 only uses 240mbps while the EVA1 will likely use around 320mbps for 24p. Assuming it does use less bits since it is intra. If it still manages to use the full 400mbps for 24p even better.
So the FS7 only provides higher data rates and more 4:2:2 options if you absolutely need to have 4k 60p recorded internally. For the $2k price difference between the two cameras you can buy an external recorder for an even higher bitrate 4k 60p from the EVA1 if you really need it.
EVA1 more or less provides the same options for 4:2:2 except for 4k 60p. Every other format from 4k 30p down to HD allows for 4:2:2. Panasonic just provides a much more detailed breakdown of all the recording options the camera has.

If anyone cares to check my Facebook or Twitter feeds, I posted photos showing the EVA1's 14+ stops of dynamic range. Gotta head off on some business (days like this a cray-cray for me!) so I don't have time to post here.

Yes but the jet will only work with future firmware updates
Soon Mitch will have his own private jet and forget about ole DVXuser.
