4k Camera Review and Giveaway Update

Change of plans. I ended up ordering a different camera, because the manufacturer of the one that I was going to buy has been having some manufacturing quality control issues, and I don't want to deal with any of that. So, the one that I ended up getting has these specs:

Things worth noting on this camera, as with many/most of the comparably-priced units are that they are generally not made with 12 Megapixel image sensors. Tthey're actually 4MP image sensors that that essentially take an HDR image (multiple images that are then merged into a 'high dynamic range' image). This keeps the costs down, while 'generally' providing a comparable, although generally less sharp image. The 4k video is produced in much the same way. The processor is actually only able to take 4k video at 10fps (frames per second). This is then scaled up to the stated rate of 25fps. I'm mostly interested in the HD (1080) video at 60fps. Enough talk. Camera will be here in a few days, and I'll get some real data and post it, and post the videos.
