Everything Sony has announced is OIS (from my reading of the press releases). Panasonic has a cam with EIS. Samsung's press release doesn't mention either way. Stills wise, haven't really paid attention.

Only interesting things I have heard from people there are about the Roku device for internet streaming on TV's and RED's Scarlet-X is still the talk from a lot of people.

What is everyone saying the delivery format will be for 4K consumer videos? Just files/streaming? Or is there some sort of Blu-ray/4K?

Mpeg 4/AVC. It's all streaming/file-based. The days of optical media are numbered. Like I said on Facebook approx a year ago, HD is dead, 2K is an "almost ran" format. Get ready for 4K (and then 8 k in a decade +)
What's weird is that this thing has been being test jumped and rumor of it hans't been running rampant. I can understand NDA's, but you'd think other people at the dz would have mentioned it.
Looks really cool but this quote "Priced at just under $5k" from that article prolly keeps it from being an option for most of us.
Thanks for letting us know what's coming though. It's great to have someone at the forefront of new technology that is looking at it from the same prospective that we are!

"The days of optical media are numbered" I know for sure Skydive New England delivers their tandem videos and stills on a thumb drive, they don't burn DVDs anymore. The drives are provided by the DZ to the camera staff. My Bluray player is only 2.5yrs old...

Spot, Thank you for the info! That JVC 4K camera looks very promising. So a whole new era begins again right? 4K (or even higher) cameras, displays, delivery formats, codecs, and etc... We just sorted out the 1080 and the AVCHD

What do you think about the Balanced Optical Steadyshot Image Stabilization with active mode (BOS) on the higher end prosumer version camcorders Sony just announced at CES like the HDR PJ710V?

yes, but they're snap-in lens adapters. Sony has also changed how they're mounting lenses on the AVCHD lineup.
In these small cams, I have no interest in them outside of skydiving. Nothing really new/exciting there that works for us, IMO. The CX190, I have worked with already.

but the 50/60 frames a second doesn't make a big difference for us or I dreaming? when there's movement, people crossing the frame, shooting without wide angle... About the adapter: I can see in the cx250/260 and up models some kind of bayonet, but in the basic models 190/200/210 looks like there's nothing. Thanks.

Gus, someone that shoots without wide would certainly find the lower models useful, if you don't mind the very high compression ratio (I think most don't, based on the popularity of the really poor cameras out there), but for tandem, fourway, and general shooting of friends, I guess I didn't look at them as useful.
Frames per second is nice, sure. But it only contributes marginally to smoothness of movement, so outside of slowing the footage, I'm not sure where the real value comes in.

I honestly didn't look at any of them. Beyond the Sony NEX and Canon cams, I wasn't looking out for anything. My apologies. I only had one day, plus the pre-CES stuff we did for our client.

How about the Balanced Optical SteadyShot? Clip on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VphxfCXu984 Added to the “hated” OIS it looks like the whole lens is suspended in a gimball like solution (gyroscopic), it would be nice to check/test how this new Balanced Optical SteadyShot handles freefall situations (belly and free fly of course).
