Along with Canon and Nikon both announcing video-focused cameras, Red announced the Raptor XE yesterday: https://www.red.com/stories/v-raptor-xe-launch

Gates also has stated that their Raptor housing fits it right out of the box (on Facebook).

"The V-RAPTOR XE is built around the essentials of modern filmmaking. Key features include:

  • 8K VV up to 60fps, 6K S35 up to 80fps, 4K up to 120fps, and 2K up to 240fps

  • Industry-leading sensor technology with an advanced 8K large format (VV) global shutter sensor

  • Significantly reduced boot time and sensor power consumption (with upcoming firmware update)

  • Iconic RED DNA with extraordinary image quality

  • Unmatched low-light capabilities (17 stops)

  • Available with RF Mount or Nikon Z Mount for ultimate lens flexibility

  • Compact body at just over 4 lbs. that allows for tremendous flexibility in any shooting environment

  • Compatibility with V-RAPTOR accessories"

$14,995 (in the US).

On the higher end of price, but 8k 60p with a global shutter seems like it could be really nice. I also like that they are sticking with offering both RF and Z mounts.
