Phil, good points! Any new camera will have to compete with existing cameras - or to be more precise - with the "look of the footage".
The VDSLR revolution IMHO was mainly based on the possibility to produce almost film-like looking footage at bargain prices more or less out-of-the-camera plus the accessibility of a ton of different gear especially lenses.
And as we all know, glass and sensor-size are more or less the single most important aspects in a camera.
So a camera with great tech-specs that produces footage which is more flexible in post at a significantly higher price range and the necessity to get bunch of new gear will hold back many people. In particular if they have invested in other technology before.
Neveretheless a very interesting product. I'm anxious to see more. And I'd love to get my hands on a RAW-video-camcorder...
