There's already rumour back in the early of July stating Sony i1 Smartphone gonna support 4k recording for the first time. It seems like it's probably true now there's another leaked photo showing the specifications of the smartphone and its capabilities of shooting 4K video @ 4000x2000 resolution. Unfortunately, there's no more info about how many fps it's going to be.  

I noticed the presence -albeit slightly- of aliasing in the corners of the blocks. Oh well, I guess we can't have everything...

Hey Andrew, they are in fact Chinese saying: The Next Generation of Sony Xperia - Honami smartphone equips with a 20MPs Exmor R camera (plus a 2.2MP front facing camera) and it's going to support 4K video recording @ 4000x2000 resolution.   There is also another additional leaked photo showing that the rear camera is in fact "20.7MP, 1/2.3 inch sensor with a big G indicating that it's a G lens".

Sorry but you are wrong and that is your opinion. People buy a CINEMA camera and then want to use clinical oversharp lens and they result in a 'video look' is pretty pointless!   Before righting off all C mount lenses, I'd suggest you listen to what others are experiencing in a positive light. I can certainly vouch that the several HIGH QUALITY C Mount zooms used on 16mm and Super 16mm cameras in the past even surpass old B4 ENG lenses.   Also pretty pointless is your suggestion of using FULL FRAME with a 3X crop lenses for the BMPC! The M4/3 Speedbooster or any of it's cheap chinese contemporaries at this time do not exist for purchase. Some of the C mount lenses have as much fine glass and elements in them as much as the "decent 1960's-1980's MF lenses from Zeiss, Nikkor, Olympus, Canon." you suggest as many were made by them!

I think you speak about the bottomless-pocket camera.   Sometimes the budget is not there and is not yours to dictate or massage. In today's world you have to work to a price and sometimes every shot is costed.

I'm not sure why anyone would want one of these?

We're having many discussions about C mount cine lenses here on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/cmountm43/
