Sure the C300 is nice but I don't agree with your assessment of the FS700, it isn't a gimmick camera or a bitch.
And I know a lot of bitches and gimmicks :)
The FS700 is one of the most future proof cameras out there not to mention the fact it is a full $6000 cheaper than the C300. Again the codec issue is sorted out by a $200 external box the size of a 2.5" USB hard drive, and again I just don't agree that it falls a long way short of the C300. The F3's image is actually superior to the C300, because it is 10bit and LOG. That makes a difference, more so than the fancy sub-sampling on the C300's sensor.

Sorry to ask this again but you didn't answer
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Does the FS700 output in HD higher than 8 bit through it's HD-SDI? I couldn't seem to confirm this anywhere. I know it's supposed to be 10bit (or 12bit?) when the eventual 4K recorder/firmware comes out but I'm confused about what it outputs in HD. Everything I saw online tells me that in HD the HD-SDI out is only 8 bit.. This is a big deal to me since the C300 can output to an external recorder 422 ProRes as well but it's only 8 bit...[/font][/color]
