It looks like they have put the focus options on a new switch on the back of the camera. That would imply that something else has been assigned to the secondary dial on top of the camera. Can't wait until we get a view from above...

@Manu4Vendetta

Nope, it seems like simple error. Most probably video was uploaded today, but he forget to make it unavailable to public (until time comes).

@Vitaliy_Kiselev. I think these calleds 'leaks' are hidden marketing strategies, this started some years ago in the past decade with the automotive industry and I see relatively recently that the electronics industry, specifically smartphones and cameras are doing. They say 'leaks' but with increasingly happens, I doubt it. Brands want to do something similar to viral marketing with these alleged leaks and so create more expectations, anxieties and comments from the public.

@bleach551. No worries. I suspect that you are right about the flash button.

For he whom is about to lose his job for this, I salute you.

It's on Youtube, We really couldn't expect a true representation of quality there.

@Vitaliy,

Hopefully not, but maybe.

Regarding the press conference:

I try to send it into the wiki via twitter. Vitaliy already set it up here:

http://www.personal-view.com/photokina/coverage/dieter-knuettel-page

I will twitter what is possible and , via I-phone, send some pictures if it is possible there.

Igor is there too, I am sure he will also send some stuff.

It will be 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. German time on Monday the 17th of September. In Los Angeles you are 8 hours behind so that means that it is between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday morning.

@thepalalias : Super35 is not the same as Academy 35mm... You realize that right?

and for sensor/film size comparison:

Show this pretty well.

@AKED Wooha! That's a really good news! So you will be able to text (maybe images) live-blog the press event? :)

I see it like FF cameras are very limited for overall video use. Bad in low light conditions (you need to step down a lot to get a reasonable focal plane), bad for controlling focus. The optimal span is between s16 and s35, for most video/film work. With that said, check out Playground by Tati if you can find a high resolution copy. Shot on 70mm film. No shallow focus whatsoever. Brilliant use of the medium. (unfortunately for Tati, it didn´t work out financially, he had bankrupted himself personally to complete the movie and most theaters couldn´t even show 70mm copies - suffice to say it didn´t last long in the cinemas when it first came out - legendary film, nonetheless).

@thepalalias

I think key here not at F8, but "above F8", like F32 :-)
