All else aside, the ability to shoot Raw or 10bit ProRes would make a huge difference in image quality. I’m making purchasing decisions right now for my company, and this camera is within our budget, but I think this is going to move the bar and force Canon and Nikon to respond, so I think I’ll wait a while to see what comes of this very exciting development.

I didn’t realize the crop factor was that huge, 2.3x
Nice if you do event video from behind the audience but makes for a very limited choice of lenses to achieve wide angles.

I like it! I used to be a Canon guy, but went back to Nikon when I went for a new camera that shot video–a D7000. I have some really neat manual focus lenses with aperture rings. I just bought a 20mm 3.5 in virtually mint condition. That would be like a 46mm on this camera. I suppose my 10-24 DX lens would work, too, since it’s a smaller sensor. I realize I would need a Nikon-to-EF mount adapter, of course…
