Sequel to Thunderbolt is all about 4K video | Ars Technica
That, in fact, is Intel's overriding message. Intel's announcement blog post focuses heavily on the creation and consumption of 4K video, almost to the exclusion of everything else. To that end, Thunderbolt 2 doesn't include an increase in the total throughput the connection can provide, but it does aggregate the data channels together.


Visual: Standard Frame Rates | Indie Tips
24p or 23.98 (or 23.976 if you want to get really technical) is the most common frame rate used for motion pictures and is generally what you are used to. It’s the classic film look setting that gives you that comforting aesthetically cinematic motion.

First two Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens tests: Surprising good performance at full aperture!SonyAlphaRumors
No price yet, and it is APS-C (not really a problem unless you have a Canon Mark II or III) but this Sigma 18-35mm looks interesting at f/1.8, and it looks like it might perform well. I have Canon's 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens which is one of my favorite lenses...
“We were surprised again after seeing the test photos. You expect from a zoom lens at fully open aperture somewhat lesser performance in the corners. The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 however scored exceptionally well, even at the 18mm f/1.8 corner tightened remains very good. The bokeh of the lens looks very stylish, and distortion remains well within bounds.”
