Hi Folks. I completed the production set Z5 test yesterday and the conclusion is, it is a good camera. Only con is the price is too close to Z7 with the mem recording module. For those of you looking for mem recording, go for the Z7. Unless u wanna use a handheld steadycam then stick to Z5 combo. (About 2.5kg with mem recorder+F970)
Low light is pretty amazing if you ask me. There is a test shoot bet FX1, Z5 and EX1 in the dark. But my test are not scientific in nature. Only used the video scope to check the luminance. However I had no chance to test the roller shutter effect but as long as u r not slowing down too much, it will not be an issue.
Will post the video after it is completed in a few days.
Product will be launched offically on 14th Jan 09 and availability soon after.
