And to your other point, having to use a bulky 7" recorder is a big deal to a lot of ENG or even narratives (such as for gimbal use), so to act like it's no big deal is a bit of a stretch, especially when other cameras in the price range offer 10bit 4K internally.
Long time lurker. Just signed up to say the info in link is wrong or old and the C200 does output 8-bit 4:2:2 over HDMI at 24p, and drops to 4:2:0 at 50/60p.
Bummer about the codec being apparently no better than what's already on the camera (even though I'll be shooting RAW 90% of the time). I have to wonder what the point is, and they really should have given it a higher bitrate at least. Having said that, I took delivery of the C200 about a week and a half ago; and I have to say if you lied told me the codec was 10-bit, I'd believe it. Check out this guy's timelapse and he also says that there was no banding at all (downloads are enabled):
