The sensor is the same as the RX100m2. Works great, even against a 5dmII. IN RAW, of course.
I wouldn't go so far as to say this is "excellent video". At least not without the caveat "for what it costs and is designed for"

Very good guides on both YouTube clips. His instruction makes it much easier than using the manual and trying to figure things out.

There was one shot in the first video (
Reveiw @ approx 14:50) that showed something interesting. The lightning strike was picked up really well without a rolling shutter issue, even though this camera does not have a global shutter. This I will be really testing over the next few weeks as the monsoons are starting up today (finally).

You should get some great real 4K lightning videos if it works as good as you hope. Good luck. We haven't had hardly a drop of rain for several months.

I watched the videos for the 4k and the digital zoom was mentioned as barley noticeable in transition . Normally I turn this feature off. Has anyone used it to see if as good as he seems to imply?

SO the battle of the 4K cameras is going pretty good. Has active P5 artists bought more AX-100 or GH4 cameras?

I keep the digi zoom on because I frequently use the camera as a telescope. (it's better than the cheapo binocs on my boat and car) Sometimes that screws me up when I'm shooting and forget to pay attention.. The transition has a VERY slight pause at one of the speeds, but not the others, although I don't shoot with digizoom on purpose, and if I do, it's very slight, as anything more than a tiny bit becomes noticeably noisier/artifacty, but I just checked again, and the transition is really pretty amazing, from digi zoom to optical and vice-versa. High tech.
