They really almost have it: Thunderbolt, SGI, non-proprietary SSD, 12-bit RAW, and all for $3,000. It's that Four Thirds sensor w/ its huge crop factor that's killing me. So close!

Ya, We saw it at NAB and we were not impressed. It might work well as a locked down camera for an interview but it is not up to the task of run and gun. I asked about rolling shutter "jello" effect with the four thirsd sensor and now one answered me. I then grabbed the tri pod handle and moved it quickly left and right and you could see the VERY evident jello wobble happening. BM makes some of the best post production products out there. This camera is a good example of why they should stick to what they are good at and not try an compete with other camera manufactures that are good at what they do. You get what you pay for here, and for me, it is not a good investment.
