sanveer Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yi (the makers of the Xiaomy Yi and Yi 4k Action cameras), have finally unveiled their M4/3 ILC. The pricing is extremely competitive, especially considering that they are using the 20MP Sony sensor in it. The write-up is quite lousy, and therefore it will take a few more days before people figure all the great features in it. I hope they have some nice LOG profile, and good sound options, for now.

ntblowz Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 4K for $300? probably get it for cheap wide cam lol Wish there is body only version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yay, cheapest ever MFT 4K camera! :D I already have nearly a dozen Yi cameras (for 360VR), looking forward to checking out this new product! :-D The lenses are very tempting too, as you have a cheap zoom starting at 12mm (unlike the common 14mm) and have a very affordable 42.5mm f1.8 macro!

jagnje Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Maybe someone hacks it for raw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LippyLee Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 No mention of Image Stabilization for both their lenses and body or flat profile on their website and Dpreview's hands-on, could even be possible that it does not have a manual movie mode. Hopefully Xiaomi sticks to updating this camera for the long run so we may see custom picture profiles or any missing features. Will be interesting to get body-only as this is the cheapest m43 mount 4k camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It's an interesting approach with some interesting things about it. Design and use philosophy are kinda cool. Price is right on the money! Would be cool, just as an alternate angle cam and fun little thing to just play around with. Don't think image quality and usability will be all that, but I know I gotta get my hands on one to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they use the same kind of ARM chip and OS, I'm pretty confident about a hack That would be awesome sanveer and Marco Tecno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will wait to see some other lenses used with it. Would also like to see 24p in their 2K mode at a better bitrate than the 15Mbps 24p in their 1080p.
