Any info on dynamic range and flat picture profiles? Like mentioned above, the sample video made by Samsung looked oversharpened and videoish. I don't give a crap about specs if the IQ isn't up to par. XD

I just can't find it anywhere, what's the dynamic range rated at in video mode with S-Log2? DxO Mark rated the sensor at 13.2 stops for stills, but does S-Log2 give you all those stops in video too? Has anyone compared it to a Blackmagic camera yet? 

So does anyone know the dynamic range of the A7s in video mode? DxO Mark rated the sensor at 13.2 stops for stills, but with S-Log2 will you be able to use all those 13 stops in video? 

The firmware doesn't have many new features, it's meant to make adding these features easier later. BM say this firmware contains hooks for histogram and audio meters. Also say formatting cards in camera is coming. 

The annoying Iris change is gone, better debayering, raw 4K, etc. 

This is the day Blackmagic cameras transform from prototypes to actual production cameras. It's GREAT news!

I agree, I was amazed by the footage of my BMCC before and with the new update, image quality has improved so much I'm more amazed than before! Really didn't think BM could enhance the image quality that much more. :D 

How's the new interface?

It's basically the same interface, but with a new design. Looks much more 2014-ish. :) 

I installed the 1.8 update on my BMCC before they took it down. Seems to work great, a little unsettling that they took it down though, but works perfectly so far. The best part is that the image quality improved a lot, with the new debayering! No more aliasing. Here are some comparison images. All pictures are a 300% crop.
