Good to see JVC has not forgotten about this camera.

I read that it adds some additional HDMI output resolutions. Is that all we can expect?

Nice find - can anyone confirm what the firmware is?

Nothing about it on JVC's website that I could find...

Picked up this on a site : GY-LS300CHは4K/60p出力が可能になるファームアップを

and I can read 4K/60p, which is a serious upgrade, or what do you say?

In a JVC news info they also had the phrase 4K HDR - interesting.

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
 
It's seems like we can pay for an upgrade, and record 4k60p via HDMI into an external recorder.

Here's Google Translate of a webpage I just found:

GY - LS 300 CH can upgrade to 4K / 60p Firm - up
GY-LS300CH plans to upgrade the firmware corresponding to 4K / 60p output from HDMI with a lens replacement type camera of MFT mount equipped with a Super 35 sensor. Although it does not correspond to the internal record, 4 K / 60 p recording is possible by combining with Atmos' SHOGUN INFERNO, for example. An external recorder is necessary but it is cheaper than Sony FS 7 even if both are added. On SHOGUN INFERNO side, it corresponds to REC trigger and interlocking recording is possible. The firmware is said to be paid for.

Perhaps while they are at they could squeeze in 1080p at 240fps too. After all, a full sensor 4k readout at 60p kind of equates to 1/4 sensor resolution readout at 240p right? (I expect my understanding of sensors is completely wrong though)

They have reached the maximum SD card write capasity and using Atomos external 4K recorder will add that and a few interesting color support abilities. HDR and possibly instant JVC Log and so on. Might be time to replace the old Atomos Ninja 2.

FYI 150Mb/s is only 19MB/s (even my cheap SDXC cards are rated to 60MB/s)

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
 
Still the LS300 does not like certain makes of SD cards, even if the same cards work on other cams at 200mbps!

Which brands don't work?

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
 
Samsung Pro 64GB which are rated U3 and can write up to 80Mbytes/sec don't work with LS300 with 170mbps. They work on the GH4 with 200mbps. Sandisk Ultra 80Mb/s do not work too.

I now use sandisc extreme pro 95mbs cards which have worked fine so far.

Same - very happy with both the Extreme and Extreme Pro line.

We started using Extreme Pro series cards with the AF100 and many of those have lasted a great number of years.

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
 
I wonder when we'll hear more about the new firmware?
It would be amazing if it also gave us a 10bit 1080p output!
