Love your site Andrew and come here frequently for news updates, insights, and to enjoy your film making. However, I can't agree with your Sony/Canon comparison which seems a little flippant, especially:
"The FS700 beats the C300 and Sony’s new small-chip camcorder beats the XF305."
In both cases the Sony's are cheaper, but better? This depends on what you're looking for in a camera. The C300 has better build quality and ergonomics, native EOS mount, LOG recording, robust internal 422 codec, better monitoring, and likely superior 1080p resolution and dynamic range. These are highly appealing features to many. The Sony is a different offering with some unique features of its own - it's an exciting camera - but to say it "beats" the C300 is meaningless. The cameras have very different strengths and the C300 will continue to sell very well. As will the F3.
In the case of the PMW-100, it's easily outclassed by the XF305 (10x lens vs 18x, 1 zoom ring vs 3, 1 chip vs 3). They're not even competing products. Perhaps you meant to write XF105.
Then again, it's your blog so say whatever you like ;)
