Z Cam E2 is now shipping 

When the inside of the pie is undercooked then it leaves a bad taste in the mouth though. 
Can't get more on topic than that....

Don't hold your breath. 

It is never great on any camera. 

Because:

Location

Exactly. And If you do use apsc lenses for video, and then switch to photo mode for a quick snap of the action, you won't be happy.
crop sensors are fine, forced switching between crop and full frame on the same body is not. It's unthinkable to shoot both photos and 4K video at the same event on this camera.

Hmm. Crappy.
Obviously Blackmagic didn't invite me to the hands-on. Pretty clueless of them not to.
I would have quite liked to have taken one on a shoot.
I do at least know what ProRes is

Let's play "spot the camera"! 

We'll start with an easy one:



Then move on up to a trickier challenge:

Sub $300 3D LUT support would be nice indeed for when shooting S log. 
But any higher and I'd start to think about splurging "all out" for a Ninja V instead. 
 

Give this one to Magic Lantern!
 
 

To summarize. if we ignore:

This big missing spec. 
This other big missing spec. 
This lack lasture spec. 
This omission. 
And a few other odds and ends.

Then.... Canon made a "pretty darn good camera" which beats many others from 2015!

Was this shot in France?  Must have shot from Belgium for those wide shots.
Stopped watching at 0:07 when he said "shoots 8 frames per second" - yeah, not if your subject is actually moving.  AF locked at that speed.
 
Day 2 other things that are super annoying - the top left button is *ONLY* the freaking on/off switch.  That's it folks!
You can't (yet) shoot anything other than SINGLE SHOT mode for silent shooting
You can't (yet) shoot using EYE AF using tracking - it's single shot only
FPS drops to THREE when tracking is enabled.
 
Goodnight people.  This feels rushed to be honest.

Aha... And so the great Canon cycle of 'hope over experience' begins again....

When I die, I want Canon to lower my casket at my funeral so they can let me down one last time.

I'm here from the future to report that yes indeed Canon "pulled a 2016"

Pancake lenses on a mirrorless body are a big attraction to me, it truly lives up to one of the benefits of mirrorless: compact size!

I own pancake lenses from Panasonic, Olympus, Sony, and Samsung!
 

My kind and loving offer:
”Would you like one too sweetheart?”
was rapidly reinterpreted as:
”Why do you need two?”
One cannot win...

Wish more cameras would offer 2K as an option

We need more than just the boring old UHD / 1080 / 720 resolutions in the usual 16:9!

Give us ALL THE OPTIONS in aspect ratios and frame rates

Canon is screwing up so very badly that I fear even fanbodys might soon need to stop being blind to Canon's failings. 

Canon fanboys might soon be an endangered species on EOSHD! Let him stay, we can show our tolerance towards poor discriminated and endangered minorities.

Nikon Z looks the best out of the new offerings to me. I think the lenses are perfect too. 
The faster primes will be 2000$ or more I bet. How is it good to launch with lenses costing more than two grand?
F1.8 is fast enough. More importantly it keeps the lens somewhat small. 
As usual it seems many lust for bragging rights rather than practicality.
