SOLD

I found the 2K on MX is about as good as 5DII, in terms of resolution.... No amount of post can sharpen it to a reasonable level. The lack of detail, coupled with the poor ISO put me off ever buying one...
I have not used Dragon yet... But I would look closely at an FS700/O7Q combo before buying an MX based camera... Better low light, better HFR (4K/120fps, non windowed), better on-board sound, NDs, ProRes and  much lighter, even with the Odyssey.

Yeah , but If you had the budget to go do a shooting on a glacier, you should probably rent/buy something like a c300 mk2 that is weather sealed with pro camera functions and internal ND. Because I don t think you want to go shoot a space where everything is white without zebra and peaking and on a 8 bits codec.
 

The Arri Alexa MINI and the Red DSMC2 bodies are not that old, unless you are considering 2015 models old. It's obvious that kinfinity took design cues from both Arri and RED so if it's about style... Kinfinity hasn't done anything new.
But it's true about RED keeping the body same only to sell more of the parts.

I pre ordered the 5k one .
If you shoot music video/fashion, you need clean slow mo and there is nothing else in the price range. It s basically a red epic MX ++ for 5kusd ...
It s more compact/light than blackmagic , color science is better than panasonic/sony/blackmagic (you should play with the DNG they provide and the image is great , I was amazed by how much you can recover on the landscape/lake shot).
There is a shoot comparing multiple cameras from GH4 to alexa and the tester said that the kinefinity images where the closest one to red/arri from the lot.
And the mount system look great , that mean you can get fast zoom easily with the focal reducer.
I understand that because it s a unknown Chinese company, people are skeptical and if it was their first camera I probably would not have pre ordered it .
But if you look at Dji , they are also a Chinese company and they have great product .
 
 
 

Great footage of the 4K in High Speed (Improved rolling shutter mode)

On the other side you can t push a7s footage that far without having artifacts.(and I m not talking about greenscreen work).
You tend to get a lot of red color noise in the shadow with a a7s when you push a bit , and even neat video have trouble getting ride of it 
I just sold mine to get the Terra , even with a shogun ,8 bits is still 8 bits, and the colors, even if better than a GH4, are still far from any recent cinema camera  (I m a VFX artist/colourist btw). 
I m not saying that the terra will be mind blowing as there is no footage out yet , but from what I saw the kinefinity colors science is definitely not con/pro-sumer grade .

Maybe I m optimistic but I assume that a company would not release a product inferior to their previous release especially for a camera.
I mean the kine mini is cheaper and the image quality is already good enough for me so I hardly see why the quality would be lower than that .
The selling point is the slow mo /mount/form factor for me.
 
Also I m living in Japan and I will get one delivered in china, so I will get the basic pack for 5600 usd with no extra charges .
