Guys...I am in Broadcast and our Flame artists are still outputting SD. Our people on S6's doing audio have to work fast as rates are under real constant pressure..deals and more deals. Most people I know watch NowTV - Prime - Sky - Terrestrial and increasing amounts across the Internet. Huge admirer of DP's that take time effort and the lighting people who get the scene set and everything right. Unless you are going to be on super high productions with tons of money behind them the days and rates will spiral downwards, it is the ideas that really count. Envious of shooters with tons of Zeiss glass, and top end cameras, but again will be for high end stuff only. Panasonic's idea is very good indeed, Varicam one end then this new beast. If you can match it in the grade you are DONE!! If Panasonic have managed to get their fixed lens to hit a sweet spot of around 80% success then stats tell you they did it right. Again a lot of our Sony shooters with 55's have gone out and bought FS7's to bridge the gap. A different deal I know but it is the principle of it that counts. Guys you have to appreciate future times will be akin to a media whirlpool and we are all getting sucked downwards in to it. Go with the flow.
