Caveats
- X-Ray Mag (2020-02-04) describes the sensor as a '1-inch IMX577' — inconsistent with the Sony IMX577 type; B&H labels FOV '(1/1.8")'. sensor.size left null.Source
- Weight: X-Ray Mag 240 g; paralenz.com shop (2022) lists 249.5 g.Source
- No external housing needed to 350 m / 1150 ft (paralenz.com shop page, 2022).Source
- B&H lists the Vaquita (PAR10201) as 'No Longer Available'; status 'discontinued' is based on that. paralenz.com/vaquita no longer serves the product page.Source
- Announcement date is the X-Ray Mag news item (2020-02-04); pre-orders shipped in batches per paralenz.com (Wayback 2020-11). Exact ship date unknown.Source
