The new Premiere has an option to export as H.265, still unknown as to if editing in it is happening or not.

Currently there are more cameras than you can shake a stick at which can 95% beat the XC10 for much much less (RX10/LX100/FZ1000), or 200% beat it for a similar price. (GH4/A7s/NX1) So you have to fit into a very weird tiny little niche, not to want either side of those two alternative options and instead want the XC10. And once the Sony RX20 is released I bet that camera will then beat the XC10 125% for half the price. Which will leave the XC10 with no niche whatsoever to fill, not even the little tiny weird one it might fill right now. Heck, it could be argued the Sony AX100 (with Sony XLR-K2M) and Sony PXW-X70 (which is getting the 4K update at the same time the XC10 is shipping) are already beating the XC10 by 125% for less/same.

Heh, I recently worked on a two day wedding where we used 3x C300 + 2x BMPCC + 2x 5D

Ed David, you want the F35 chip in new cameras..... but why?

Jimmy, the XC10 has ND but..... only ONE setting :-/

At the sky high price of the XC10 I'd rather spend a little more and get an old second hand C100 and glue a 24-105mm f/4 to it. But yeah..... not going to do that either. Instead seriously looking at the Samsung NX1, but waiting to see what NAB brings.

It already exists.... is the Sony FS7, and it is even cheaper. This is not the same marketplace as the one the original C300 was released into, when rental houses / studios / owners were hungry for the new large sensor video cameras. As so few existed. Now there are heaps and heaps of competition that the C300mk2 will be facing, even including the original C300 itself. Heck yeah, if they're kinda true and hitting the rumoured $3k-ish price point then I will have to very very seriously look into getting one (my first non-DSLR/MILC higher end camera).

​Classic case of salespeople talking utter BULLSH*T! Which I put down to 95% them simply wanting to make a sale at any cost, and 5% due to being utterly clueless and out of touch. As seriously come on... do you really believe the 16-50mm f/2-2.8 (which sells for merely a little bit more than US$1k) could perfectly cover FF too?

So you press record and *then* you need to activate it again??

Trust me, it is not true. Somebody made it up, and it really isn't that hard at all for a person to create such a mock up.

Does focus peaking still disappear when you hit record?? :-/ (I've noticed that on my NX300, but I thought that had been fixed on the NX1)

​Is more like 0.8-0.9% chance....

Appears to be a permanent price reduction too, not a one off sale. If this means second hand prices of the NX1 drop under $1k or NX1-LX is coming at NAB, I'll be happy with either to happen! Just got my NX300 and Samsung 30mm f/2 pancake lens, looking forward to dabbling with this to see if I want to jump to the NX system :-)

If the A7s mk2 doesn't at least have internal 4K I'll be very disappointed. However, I regard it as unlikely it will come out at NAB. At best will be late this year.

AF100 / FS100 successor is the big thing I'm looking for here. Something with XLR + dual recording to SD cards + NDs is what I want. With at minimum GH4 quality image. Preferable in a form factor no bigger than a C100 (as I found the old AF100 / C100 to be a tad too big).

​Well you can tell Noam Kroll that.... http://noamkroll.com/watch-my-full-samsung-nx1-4k-video-review-side-by-side-lumix-gh4-comparison-here/

http://nikonrumors.com/2015/04/02/nikon-1-j5-mirrorless-camera-officially-announced.aspx/ Well this is very interesting..... 1200fps!! But with some insanity: 8:3 aspect ratio wtf, an ultra ultra low resolution, and it gets played back at 30fps Edit: oh, I see the J4 had the same 1200fps too, and at a higher resolution too! (Only very very slightly so... thus still ultra ultra low!)

While Danyyyel makes a fair point for optimism, I am still stunned that they'd released such a half finished camera! 15 wtf fps!!!!

10mm is not such a luxury wide angle if shooting with a BMPCC

Canon has hinted that if ML ever touched their cinema range they'd rain down on them legal hell. So nah, is not going to happen! The ML team is moving on to work with Axiom and Samsung NX1 instead.

You also left off "worse low light"! No WiFi either, which is a gimmick for many, but very handy for others (I quite liked it while using the A7s).

​Doubt it. I've already heard of a few people picking up a Samsung NX1 new on eBay for $1200ish. Hopeful I'll see it drop to sub $1k second hand within the next few months.

​Oh snap! The wedding video person I second shoot for also has a 7D! And I too was just recommending to her tonight to consider the LX100 instead. (oh and is "dbp" your initials... ? If so, there is yet another coincidence.... :-P )

True! Good points about their innovations in other areas, and "throwing stuff to see what sticks".

I highly doubt this is true, as I doubt a big consumer company like Samsung which is only a new entrant to the semi pro market would consider such an extreme niche camera model (it was a bold and brave move by Sony to make the A7s! But maybe Sony going first might make it easier for Samsung to follow? As they can clearly see what a success the A7s was. But on the flip side, is the market big enough for "two A7s" models?). However.... this doesn't stop me holding out hope it is true!! Would solve my dilemma of which to get of NX1 vs GH4 vs A7s
