This is a new M12 connection system from Molex. Looks neat.

Looks interesting. I can't imagine the price being very nice though...

I looked at the sight and didn't see the same for the M8 sized connectors, which was a little disappointing.

They look great for ease of installation and sealing, but one problem I see is requiring a flat tip screwdriver to release them. If the release slot is butted up against another connector or part of a machine, then what?

I didn't think there was a release slot. I thought you just pulled back on the snapping ring to release it, like hydraulic and pneumatic quick connects.
