You are projecting your experience from your audio gear into video gear and how it should work. I told you why there is the delay and why we have to accept it. I am not happy with it either, but I accepted it and moved on - because in reality it is not a big deal for me.
That's about as far from a correct assumption as you could make Robert.
As I've stated, I own a creatve/production company and have for many years. We have and have always had several camera systems as well as a small production studio.
I've personally designed and built several recordings studios and film/video edit rooms. As a creative director I'm always on set, in the field and very often behind a camera.
I've never experienced this kind of latency in any camera. For one simple, basic example - we used to have a closet full of Canon XL1s at one time doing a lot of ski industry and olympic film and promotional work. On a fairly "prosumer" camera like that, for instance, their was never latency.
Again, twice in one week two professionals on my team for years, put on the phones on the P4K and said something like, "this is unuseable".
Did you have a chance to look at the section in the new review I linked to?
I'm not unique seeing this as a problem and wanting it addressed for our use.
Let's just leave it that I and obvioulsy others, have a different level of expectation regarding this - as well as experience that's different from yours.
It's all good (except for the P4K audio latency problem.
