I keep thinking that its not THAT heavy or way too big nor way too expensive.
 
Here's a look at AlexaPlus weight:
ALEXA Plus camera body + SxS Module: 7.0 Kg/15.4 lb
ALEXA Plus camera body + SxS Module + EVF-1 + Viewfinder Mounting Bracket VMB-2 + viewfinder cable + Center Camera Handle CCH-1: 8.4 Kg/18.5 lb
 
And in terms of Dimensons:
ALEXA: Length: 332 mm/12.95", width: 175 mm/6.89", height: 158 mm/   6.22"
URSA: Lenght:                12.35", Width:             6.12" Height (w/handle): 9.63"
 
So, in theory it'll be like handling an ALEXA. If we compare it to a DSLR or other small camera like a BMPCC, Cinema EOS, even a RED Scarlet well yeah its THAT heavy.
 
Price.... well... $6k vs an $8k up to $80k market?  Think about it... I mean it can't be any cheaper.
 
I agree that URSA is kind of a heavy-overkill alternative for us DSLR shooters but I'm glad it's budget friendly and by the looks one of good quality.
 
Remember, there is no perfect camera.

For my needs I find the HDMI model a very useful companion for my future GH4; its a YAGH on steroids, its an external 4K recorder, it has an fullHD iPad-like video monitor, and more... all that in one single package, for me I found that convenient. 16 pounds of awesome, I know, a heavy price but its workable.
 
If I want light weight for run and gun gigs or get some quick shots just unplug it and you're good to go.
 
Now, price its not available for this model, if its more than $2k - $3k, I would not buy it... although thats the price for external recorders only, if you want XLR inputs thats another accessory...
 
Also, theres no info on whether it can be upgraded to add a sensor in the future.
 
I think it's to early to celebrate or complain, so will see.
 
PS: I honestly don't know WHY they used a 5D for the preview picture... makes no sense.

Agree. GH4 would have made more sense.
 
Can see the advantage of unplugging if you want small size.
 
I just think what most people wanted was a similar solution but smaller and less overkill.
