    This isn’t the announcement from Metabones everyone was hoping for, but it is good to see them always improving their adapters. They used to allow trade-ins and upgrades from previous generations as well via their website, so people may want to look into those options if the new feature list is of interest.

    I’m hopeful that Sony will update their FS100 and FS700 lines to better work with 4K. Yes, there are ways with the FS700, but it’s a headache at best. Those cameras work well with the Metabones adapters currently and 4K with a new version camera could be a much better package than the ISO/ASA limited GH4. Corporate video shooters and those that work with a lot of natural light would appreciate a more responsive Sony offering, and likely would pay the slight premium for it.

    Canon on the other hand… wow. Love their lenses, but lately Sigma is giving them a run and their video bodies are priced way too high for many users. The 5DMk3 is showing its age, unless you’re shooting RAW with it… many are using the 70D or C100 instead.
