Z-cam firmware updates continue to surprise

[TomTheDP]

Z-cam just released a firmware update for all of their cameras.
 

All resolution and frame rate combinations now support ProRes 422 recording (except C8K 2.4:1).

Added 5K 60fps recording on E2-F6.

ProRes proxy records in separate files.

Preview & in camera playback with 3D LUT banding issue fixed.

External SSD recording through USB performance improved.

Now I can do Prores 422 on my S6 at 4k 100fps. That is pretty awesome IMHO. I wish Panasonic would get in on the Prores game.

Does anyone know if the Z Cam s6G has officially dropped?

It was listed with the firmware releases and I just saw this: https://www.soltyscameras.com/product-page/z-cam-s6g-6k-super35mm-global-shutter-cinema-camera-rental

I'm pretty much ready to leave Blackmagic for Z cam and this would be the nail in the coffin.

@Andrew CalvettiI think it's a special order camera that you can buy directly from Z Cam or maybe some smaller dealers. I don't know if the original E2g ever got listed on B&H or any of the main retailers either. I'm not 100% sure, so the best place the ask is the Z Cam facebook group. Soltys had a "buy" link before but it's gone now.

@Andrew CalvettiIt’s not officially released yet though certain individuals got it. It will get a wide release. The price is going to be 6k like the Komodo.

Seems the S6G is still in late beta stage, with only some early testers who have their hands on it.
