Erik has previously reviewed the Z Cam E2 on the site.
So what are these new additions? there isn’t too much documentation the Z Cam Facebook group has a growing community.
One new mode for the Z Cam E2 and Z Cam E2-F6 is “Low Jello Mode” that improves rolling shutter but does come at the cost of a slight crop of the image.

- Refined saturation in shadow (Z CAM E2, Z CAM E2-S6, Z CAM E2-F6 & Z CAM E2-F8)
The Z Cam comes in a range of models including the E2, E2C and newer S35 6K E2-S6 & E2-F6 & E2-F8 full-frame models.
