    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    Just to clarify @steve1225 since you said "01 April" ... are you "messing" with us ... or is this legit?

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    @bigredfish - The "Headless Horseman" (aka golf cart driver) is such a classic ... you will be posting that a decade from now! ;-)

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    Does highlight "reduced motion blur", especially at the end. But yes, we'll need to see some real-life examples ... and ideally side-by-side against the 5442 and the PRO ... so see how "good" this is.

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    Ooops ... my wording was confusing as it sounds like I think it's varifocal ... but yea, I realize it's fixed focal ... just pointing out for any moderate zoom length fixed lens, DoF could be an issue. So main application may be an "area" camera with wide-angle lens with decent light gathering...

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    Ditto assuming that the 2MP are over the "entire" 1/1..8" sensor ... which seems consistent with the claim of larger pixel size. Also ditto what @steve1225 said that F/0.8 is impressive for light gathering ... but DoF could be an issue, especially at even moderate zoom lengths. In the camera...

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    Thanks for posting @steve1225 as helpful to get heads-up on stuff coming down the pipe. And thanks in advance @EMPIRETECANDY for sharing info/details when you are able to. Ditto what everyone else is saying and wants to know - is this just a software update (and if so, back-ported to existing...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    @Arjun : WRT to "dull/washed out" colors on the 4M. I don't have that, but on the 54PRO, it "boosts" the black ... so you don't have a full dynamic range - you can see this in the histogram. If you set Backlight->HLC=1 (heard this from the always smart @steve1225), and you get more dynamic range...

    @EMPIRETECANDY - If you need a "tester" for that varifocal "ZE", my DM's are open ... ;-)

    If you are OK posting, I'm sure there are others, besides me, that would like to know what you thought of the G6.

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    I've been real happy with the Tendelux UV lights - I have both the DI10 and DI20 ... so search the forums for some examples of that from me and others. I'm sure there are other lights that will work fine - that's just what I have first-hand experience with.
