Possibly the most advanced consumer level interchangeable lens camera with HD video out there. It allows full control over aperture and zoom while recording (though I think it needs to use the optimised 14-140 f4-5.6 lens to make full use of this).

Oh, and they've launched a very small 7-14 f4 lens :

I'm not sure about the video but I'm saving for the 7-14 already.

    Good catch.

    A most interesting camera. I am concerned that only a very few lenses allow the full feature set of the camera. That might limit the sales appeal as well as functionality of the camera.

    Yeah, interesting camera. I love love love the video quality of the 5D MKII but man is it hard to use. Live view seems to much better, especially now that I know how far the prism focusing system can be off on the 5D MKII.
