A few weeks ago the Kipon full Auto focus, Iris and IS enabled EF to M43 adapter was announced.

Go Pro Hero 4 Black samples have been hitting the net and included are 1080p 120fps tests. The quality seems much better than what the Hero 3 black was able to do in 720p but it is below what 1080p 60 can deliver on the same cameras.
