The company is Xiaomi. Yes, the camera is too expensive, I did not expect Xiaomi to sell their products that expensive + the lack of tilting screen is a big let down.
Great video! I just feel this new brand doesn't bring anything new into the m4/3 system. It's clearly targeting the smartphone users who want to get better image quality but not having to deal with many buttons and settings. I just doubt this target audience would be interested to pay that much for an unknown brand.
I'm surprised by the price so far – at this point it is not interesting. If they can drop the price and get some interesting android apps for special features not found on other cameras, it could become very interesting though.

so is this the best (complete) camera for this price?
Yi is not pronounced as Y-Eye. It is pronounced as yi or yee. The company is a branch of Xiaomi.
What's it Cost?
it hits a price point 4k m43 mount. sony Exmor!.all u haters STFU drops mic
The build quality does not inspire confidence, there's a difference between building a smartphone and a camera.
Did I see this camera before(Samsung?…;)
540 FOR THIS SHIT LOL
great camera
will you post a full review?
Self-addicted, funny.

That poor tracking and swaying focus is a deal breaker for me. Thank you for the video, great in-depth and precise analysis.
The firm behind this camera is Xiaomi. Yi is their line of products.
thanks for review, it's so help us. Question: is there any possible to change the lenses with another brand?
I am amazed with this impressive "new guy in town" camera in every aspect.
No tilting moon cresta touchscreen?
No thanx…

Interesting camera. Would love to try it out.
this toy worth $200
A camera for the low cost amateur segment. But this is how it starts isn't it.
wish a xiaomi mirrorles with a7s sensor below $1000
Awesome video, and love the fact that you uploaded some sample photo's also because many youtubers forget to do this so thats why you get a thumbs up!
I would not be surprised if the lenses are better than the nasty overpriced Sony e mount lenses.

this company is killing big names seriously
the autofocus tracking is superb and garbage..
if the 4k is good and its like 200$ish (body) then it's an-interesting choice even if the video quality and or the iso is not as good as the others .
yi m1 is a plastic toy…….em10 mark 1 would be a safer choice.
i'd rather get the olympus omd 10 or even one of the oly epl cameras.
Good Video, I hope they let you have a review sample to get some pictures and comparisons.
Yay! So, apart from the Japanese giants, we also have: Black Magic (AU); Yi (CN); and neo-Polaroid II (US). Any others?
(Personally, I'm hoping that @SIGMA join either M43 or futureproof by licencing the new Fuji G-mount for their future mirrorless cameras.)
Why design when you can copy Leica
