Hi Tom
Just picked mine up from Lemac today! The build quality is amazing and the picture quality looks great from the OLED. I bought the 7Q and i just registered the unit tonight with convergent design.
At this stage it will only record 10 bit HD DPX files (4:4:4) as standard for free and you can purchase Arri Raw, Canon Raw and Sony Raw as optional extras. There IS NO PRORES or AVID MXF as yet but i believe its coming very soon.
Lemac didnt have any Convergent design drives in stock so im going to try my 256 Intel SSD's that i use for my Hyperdeck and see if they work in the interim.
Hopefully this will be a perfect solution for my Alexa XT as it cant record Arri Raw and Pro res at the same time, and i miss having a histogram on board. The Odyssey has histogram, focus assist and a heap of helpful tools that we are all use to having on an Epic.
I went into Lemac today to buy the TVLOGIC 5.6" monitor and Scott showed me this for really not a lot more so i bit the bullet and bought it.
Once i have had a proper play with it i will let you know, but at this stage it looks very promising.
