Z Cam E2 crazy specs

[sgttom]

Has anyone heard about the upcoming release of the Z cam E2. The specs these guys are promising are crazy. Sort of like what the GH5s was rumored to be and never delivered on.

4k 10 bit 60fps and 120fps up to 1700mbps (bitrate can be adjusted to whatever you want)

They are saying it has the latest Sony M43 sensor(assuming the same as the GH5s?) Claims that the dynamic range will beat the GH5(13.5 stops claimed) They say color and noise are superior as well.

The biggest thing for me is they are saying the auto focus will be competitive with Sony and Canon.

Hopefully they pull through with it

I have no idea what is going on there lol, but it looks good.

I am honestly blown away by what they are promising with this camera.

I think this is showing the learning capabilities for "object tracking " focus. It's been long coming- fantastic news...

I have been saying for at least 5 years that cameras will be like this one day:

Is anyone selling it yet? I see the E1 is down to $250 right now, probably trying to clear out the stock.

You can preorder it...they start shipping end of July if all goes well:

The E2 is such a massive leap forward from the E1 they're not exactly competitors to each other!

I hope Z Cam keeps on selling many more of the E1 at $250

I'll probably be getting one as soon as I can afford it. High frame rates that don't suck sounds very cool. I suck at color grading so hopefully the baked in sRGB profile is good. Otherwise I'll be waiting for fanboys to start putting out luts.

So guess I'll be holding onto my MFT lenses.

Ironfilm,
Any idea if these folks do anything other than crappy AGC audio?

 

[yoclay]

Anybody know what the dynamic range on this camera is ?

The makers say its 13.5 stops.

 

[NorBro]

I heard Kinson say it's 14.5 in an interview...courageous!

EDIT: I actually just watched another video (to double-check myself) and a Z-Cam rep said 13.5.

But in this one, K sounds like he's saying 14.5 but now I can't tell:

Well they say in the specs:

http://www.z-cam.com/e2/

3.5mm jack (TRS) for active mic 5-pin LEMO port for dual channel XLR audio connector
(additional XLR audio connector required)

With those kinds of audio specs I'd be very very surprised indeed if they've only got autogain audio.

They are claiming 16 stops with the WDR mode in this footage. Wonder if its actually getting 16 stops.
