Question: With the new firmware, is the 4K bit rate still 60 Mbps, or have they upped it to 100 Mbps?

Static subjects really tell us nothing about the ability of the codec to record real video. You know, video where things actually move, often very quickly.

For $199 I think that is quite a bargain, assuming it can record moving subjects without artifacts.

Oh, you really do need to make it clear which camera is taking which shot when you redo your side-by-side comparison.

It is still 60 Mbps.

One step at a time. Some people had criticized the camera for noise, so that had to be dealt with first.

No, I do not need to "redo" the comparison, labeling which camera took which shot. Intelligent people will figure it out from what I said and the other video I posted.

I will have more video tests No more comparisons, but outside with plenty of detail and hopefully with people moving.
