And it would also need 3G-sdi and HDMI of course if it doesnt already have it. Preferably 10 bit! S-log gamma would be nice to! :D

This would be the ideal camera for me if: Same formfactor, but with a shorter loupe for the evf which would be 720p resolution. Then it wouldt be necasarry to slide the shoulder pad back and you would get more of the weight on your shoulder. It also needs alot of mounting options all over the body, but espacially on the back so you could but a external recorder there and maybe a V-lock battery. The grip also needs to be relocateble(is that a word?) as the FS700 with a rosette so you could either put it closer to the lens so your hans would be where it should be when you do ENG style shooting, but also so you could use it like Zacuto did with their rigs for the C300. That could work for eng, but also more cinemastyle handheld shooting. A rosette on the other side would be nice too for a second handle. Holes for 15mm rods on the front and back would be awesome for mounting a follow focus, mattebox and like i said earlier, a external recorder and v-lock battery. A magnesium body like the F3 would be nice too. And then last but not least. The FS700 exmor sensor and the possibility for 4K recording later on like the FS! Im drooling a little right now... I know its a dream, but that camera would solve all my needs when it comes to narrative short films, music videoes etc and also ENG coorporate shooting(got to earn some money too!) It would have a formfactor like a proper film camera like in the old days like Aaton etc and an incredible sensor capable of 4k and super slow-motion! With the right price tag, you wouldt say no to that camera whould you, Andrew?

[quote author=mike_tee_vee link=topic=600.msg4182#msg4182 date=1334689675] It's a bloody shame that the AG-AF line is dead.  Panasonic have no clue on how to develop an eco-system, and their divisions clearly do not communicate with each other.  For all the criticism Sony receive on proprietary formats (i.e. Memory Stick), they do a pretty good job of integrating things across all their different divisions.  [/quote] Yes, but hopefully they're developing a s35mm camcorder for the $5000ish market. I just watched a interview from the Panasonic booth and they had a mockup of a new 4k varicam lineup. Looks extremely interesting if it ends up being somehow affordable! Probably not. http://blip.tv/gamerlivetv/nab-2012-panasonic-shows-off-4k-varicam-prototype-camera-6091636 He actually says that it wont be a 4/3 but a "cinema sensor".
