This review didn't really do it for me. All the comments about android are how I feel about iOS; particularly iOS 7 and 8 which look and feel so cheesy and unpolished. I suspect the final score would have been higher if the reviewer didn't have such an obvious apple bias.

As I'm really interested in the a7S, I had a browse around for prices and came across this:

http://panamoz.com/index.php/sony-ilce-7s-alpha-7s-a7s-full-frame-cmos-digital-camera-body-only.html

They are selling the a7S brand new for only £1339.50 inc.VAT, if paid by bank transfer.

This is insane, considering other online stores in the UK are selling for around £2099.

Does anybody know anything about this website? Why is it so cheap? Anything suspicious or 100% definitely correct?

Thanks!

if Olympus enable 24/25p and 50/60p then I would seriously consider choosing the E-M1 over the soon to be released GH4.
 
fingers crossed.... for my needs, I think I would prefer to have the 5 axis stabilisation than most of the GH4 features.

slow motion video looks great - thanks for sharing :)

I've been playing with the GH4 for a while now. I'll share my video's here. Shot a lot more material, still have to edit/upload it. Will do so in the following days.
 
Go over to Vimeo/YouTube for all the details in the lenses/profiles/settings used. You can download 4K files or high bitrate on Vimeo.
 
Cinema 4K mode - sunset and lowlight. The 14mm makes razorsharp 4K images. Also used a cheap 200mm f/3.5 Vivitar lens. Hard to get the focus exactly right and maybe not really suitable for 4K. For the video on Vimeo I used pretty high iso values. Shots with the birds are 3200 for example.

 

 
96 fps slomo test: with shallow dof shots it is pretty sharp. I have some slomo sufing shots as well, the resolution looks less good with very detailed scenes.

 
Short test shot at ISO6400 in C4K.

 
Anamorphic test with Minolta MD 28mm f/2.8 and Petit Cinevision 1.5x

hmmm - this camera is suddenly very attractive.

According to SAR ... $1699.99 / £1299 (body only)

No one has mentioned Nikkor AI and AI-S primes yet. I have a set of five, cine-modded by Duclos, and I have been pleased with them; first on my GH2, then on my FS100, and finally on my 5D3. I've also had them on a RED Scarlet, and they looked great at 4K. They are compact but well-built, and the lens characteristics match closely across the set. The only downside that I can think of is that the focus ring goes the other way, making a reversible follow focus a necessity.  
 
Here's a nice rundown on them by Caleb Pike of DSLRVideoShooter:
 

I wonder if Panasonic and Olympus came to an agreement when m43 was created. In order to not step on each others toes, Panasonic went for more video-focused cameras, whilst Olympus aimed at the pure photography market.
