I wonder how long the telephoto will be? It needs to be at least 75mm equivalent to be of much use since the sensor for the tele lens is slightly smaller than wide angle sensor. Also the tele end has no OIS so it would be limited to good light use.

Olympus is also coming out this fall with a 12-100mm at a constant F4. Maybe this lens will be directed towards the video community.

Digicame only releases details a few days before announcement and has a very good track record of reliability. They just posted some additional details. I wonder what time limits these have. Video 4K 60fps. Full HD120fps, 4K video can be recorded in internal CFast2.0 media

This week Olympus announced a new 300mm f4 PRO lens for their m43 mount. This is the first Olympus lens with IS built into the lens and when combined with IBIS is rated for 6 stops of stabilization. Mirrorlessons just posted a video take with this lens and the 1.4TC handheld for a total 840mm (35mm equivalent). This could be game changing for wildlife videos where you cannot or don't want to carry a tripod.

Which stabilization mode was used in the video?

Here is a behind the scenes look of how RYOT used the 6S Plus 4k video for a documentary.

Canon clearly mentioned that 4k is not coming any time soon due to "Cost" issues. MM: Well, historically, I think that Canon was the first in the world to come out with a 4K product. In 2011, we had the Canon EOS 1D C, and then we had the Canon Cinema EOS C500 for professional use. For the consumer models, I think that we still need to work a little bit more on the balance between the cost and the sensor sensitivity before we can come out in the market. As you may know, Canon's main point of difficulty is to reduce costs. [Ed. note: This is interesting, in that Canon views cost competitiveness as their main point of challenge in the market. It's also interesting in that it sounds like we won't see much in the way of 4K video in their SLR lineup for a little while yet.]

This will give an idea of the video compression.

OIS is said to work with video now. I wonder if this includes 4k video.

Imaging-Resource had a good review. http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2015/09/02/primes-people-tamron-relaunches-sp-line-two-sharp-affordable-prime-lenses "For those of us preferring (or needing) to focus manually, these new lenses are a joy to use. Tamron put a lot of effort into tuning both new SP lenses for, as they describe it, "high-grade MF operation". Both have a very long focus throw that allows for precise focus adustments, and the focus mechanism has a really great feel, as well."

I guess Panasonic and Atomos timed their release today.

Here is the UK press release. I guess some of the $99 covers the EU tax for allowing unlimited recording. http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/latest/photo-news/panasonic-tweaks-lumix-gh4-to-launch-gh4r-60067 "The photo/video hybrid now offers unlimited 4K recording (Cinema 4K: 4096×2160/24 fps and QFHD 4K: 3840×2160/up to 30 fps in MOV/MP4*) and V-Log L video capability."

Here are some updated specs. It looks like it supports OIS and digital stabilization with video, similar to what Panasonic provided with the FZ1000. http://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://digicame-info.com/2015/07/gx8.html&prev=search - Still camera shake correction: Dual IS (body 4-axis / lens 2-axis) - Video of the camera shake correction: HYBRID OIS + (5 axis)

If this is using the new 20mp sony 4/3 sensor then it will have much faster sensor readout and can easily support full sensor readout at 24/25p and possibly 30p with 16:9. http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/IS/sensor2/products/index.html

I wonder what method of AF it would use on an E-M1 body (on-sensor PDAF or CDAF).

I'd be surprised if it has "HIGH SPEED" auto focus.

Just a slow 10x zoom.

Roger at LensRental posted test results from their copy. http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2015/03/slr-magics-50mm-apo-hyperprime-cine-t2-1-mtf-tests

It may be closer than we realize. There was this rumor from 3 months ago that suggested something was coming at NAB. http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/12/canon-to-target-the-gh4-with-new-dslr-type-cr2/

It looks like we may finally get a AF101 replacement and it should be more than just a GH4 with different body. http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-new-af101-successor-to-be-announced-at-nab-show-has-brand-new-mft-sensor/ "I had a conversation with a Panasonic Rep here in Japan.He told me in the near future there will be an upgrade of the AF 101 camera announced. Newly designed sensor will have an immense dynamic range of up to 15 stops and 4K. Sensor will be a big surprise in unexpected ways. Not sure about the price tag though."

Now this sounds interesting. ttp://photorumors.com/2015/02/20/new-panasonic-video-and-stills-camera-to-be-announced-at-the-2015-nab-show/#more-68168

Here is detailed review of the stabilization modes in video.

This promotional video was shot handheld with some scenes done at 300mm. http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/how-good-is-the-olympus-e-m5-mark-ii-s-5-axis-stabilization--1283807

dpreview posted a short interview with Samsung. They made an interesting comments related to sensor readout speed that would suggest it can do 4k @‌ 24p with full sensor readout. http://***URL removed***/articles/7808127857/ces-2015-samsung-interview-mirrorless-to-outsell-dslrs-in-three-years "The sensor readout is very fast - 240 frames per second. For autofocus object tracking we read at 120Hz. We can do full resolution sensor readout at 25 frames per second, and digital signal processing [with a new chip and algorithms] at 15 frames per second. "

More details have emerged. It has a native ISO of 5120 with huge DR. http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr4-detailed-spec-sheet-of-the-new-sony-apcs-active-pixel-color-sampling-sensor/
