Does the PL version come with both the EF mount and PL mount? It appears to look that way based on the "In The Box" section, but clarification would be nice.

There is no Nikon to PL mount lens adapter. We recommend using the Z Cam E2-F6 in a Canon EF Mount and using a Nikon F-mount to Canon EF-mount lens adapter.

will this have an anamorphic mode - if so - what will the resolution be after 2.40 desqueeze?
Asked by: Chris
The resolution after desqueeze will be the same as before desqueeze. The pixels get stretched. You desqueeze in premiere, after recording, not in-camera. I don't know of any camera that desqueezes the recorded image beyond a metadata flag. For display, you can desqueeze the display with whatever monitor you want to use with the camera. Most modern smallHD's offer desqueeze functionality. Also, what lens do you have that squeezes the frame by 2.4x? Most anamorphic lenses squeeze in the range between 1.3x -2x.

The various resolutions listed show the frame rate it will record up to, not the specific frame rates for each resolution. While 24fps is not listed specifically this camera should offer that frame rate for most resolutions.
