You are a wealth of information, you should actually start your own Website and make yourself some money reporting on industry matters seems you love it.
I expect this camera to be in the 6k USD range, just like Jan said at NAB. So my toss up would be an AF-100 + ki pro mini (8k) or a RED SCarlet (lord knows the price or release date) plus extra modules for it.
I do not consider the AF100 a replacement for my HVX200 as the AF would never be used for ENG or simple shoots like that.
i dismantle my HVX from the letus from time to time to do simple stuff or even green screen to get sharper images. This is as strange a dynamic for me as the DSLR's , i like em but i will never buy it because a bigger better version will come along soon.
Case in point Af100. RED is a more robust platform right now, RAW images less compression cinematic feel its all there.
but i want prores, dont wanna render down anything so it will work in FCP, or do i switch to PPro, ki pro mini will do.
Arguments for and against are welcome
HVX200, RED ONE, FCS and more,
