Great Effort by Z Cam

I was hesitant about buying the M4 as I really wanted the S6 to get the Super 35 sensor, but because of my budget, I decided the M4 was the best route to go and I've been extremely happy with this piece of equipment. I had never used a MFT camera before, but I decided to go with this because Z Cam makes a turbomount with a field of view increase of .71x so I figured this would still achieve what I was aiming for, however, I haven't even bought the Turbomount, yet, and I've been very impressed with the E2-M4 even with the MFT lenses. I'll still be picking up the other mount to continue using my other lenses, but I've been very satisfied with this purchase.

4K Powerhouse of a cinema cam

My first Camera other than a GoPro, and boy did I choose a great one. Researched everything in the $2000 range, and ended up with this the locking Ef mount and a used eND I got through Adorama.. I added the Clutch side handle( a must have ). I couldn?t be happier with my set up, and the service that I received through Adorama. Thanks again

Great Cinema Camera.

The Z cam E2-M4 is a pretty amazing, versatile and powerful camera. The picture quality is sharp and outstanding. The menu options and connectivity to the iPad is easy leaned and intuitive for even the novice film maker. The camera is pretty modular, so budget for some much needed accessories.

Entry Level Cinema Camera

One of the best entry level cinema cameras that I have had the chance to use. The various recording options that are provided are enough if you're a beginning cinematographer and filmmaker on a budget. The ability to shoot raw, 4k60 and I believe an update was just done to enable the chance to shoot 4k120 in 10bit color. The RAW workflow and color production is great. This is a great modular system that can be built out as big as you would like or as small as you need for run and gun situations.

The Z CAM E2-M4 4K records DCI and UHD 4K at up to 160 fps, and HD at up to 240 fps. It can also record to an optional CFast 2.0 card. Future updates allow the camera to support RTMP, RTPS, and SRT live streaming without a computer. Controlling the Z CAM E2-M4 is possible through serial ports, a 2.5mm LANC connector, a USB Type-C port, an Ethernet port, or the Z Camera iOS app.
