Thanks.
I misread that chart.
How do you think this compares with the Air, Hot?

I think Olympus Air is not a "good" camera, Z also.
For this money you get a small, GOOD camera, with lens, EVF, display - f.e. Lumix.
Small doesn't mean ideal for photo/video - for copters too expensive.
I've Sony QX10, price ist now € 99, 10x zoom, video 1920x1080 ... seldom used.
Fixed lens, sensor 1/2.3" ... Iiiiii do not use such things with extra lenses.

I have some difficulty understanding Hot's response.
No matter ... This Z camera may be better for some things, but the Air is much less expensive and should be fine for some things too. I've ordered the Air mostly as a specialist toy to play with and see what I can get out of it, it's cheap enough to do that.

The E1 (bad choice of name for a m4/3 camera) looks impressing if it holds its promises. How they can get this into production on $43,000 (their Kickstarter target) is beyond me, but there must be other money behind also, since they apparently already have a sensor, so maybe the Kickstarter thing is just to test the interest in the market.
There is another alternative available also, from Blackmagic, a well established company in the m4/3 video world. Like the E1, it's basically a 4K video camera, but with many advanced features that the E1 seems to lack. It's slightly heavier at 310g, and more expensive at $995:

This blackmagic camera is really interesting!
Also found a great introduction to XAVC, worth looking for some more detailed info - at least for me as a photographer, who is not totally up to speed in video.

I found that the Sony A7rII is already implementing the XAVC codec, which gives it a great competitive advantage for video, especially 4k video. Same for the RX10mkII and RX100mkIV BTW.
Wonder when XAVC will be implemented by other vendors like Olympus, Panasonic, Nikon etc. - or is it already happening? Or what else are they using and is this perhaps better?
And what is Canon cooking on this front?
