No, it doesn't quite measure up in AF, but appears to be a physically well made serious effort by a serious company
already doing competitive video cameras.
What the don't tell you at Dharma's link is the format. It is µ4/3, supposed to be compatible with all µ4/3 lenses and
tested to do so with several. Can't hurt to have another camera/lens maker for the format.
About the size of an E-PL5/6. No, I don't want one, I'm old fashioned enough to like lots of physical interface and need
reliable AF. But this was a prototype, and I don't see any reviews of a production model yet. AF may be OK, may be
fixable in a firmware update or the next model may be a real addition to the format.
