It uses the same batteries as the AF100, the same SD cards, records to the same codec, and has no rolling shutter artifacts. Seems like a perfect fit for the AF100.

HA!! Funny. And the REALLY funny thing is, that is exactly what I am gonna buy. I already have one, and I need another camera. I think the AF-100 is gonna be a great camera, and I would LOVE to be able to make it work for me. But the truth is, its not the right tool...no matter how much I would like for it to be...its just not.
But man its hard to resist...its gonna be such a cool camera.
Regards,

Nope.. AVCHD and it does it quite well too. I don't miss my HVX at all.

MAN UP!
Put a Cooke 20-100 on an AF100 and your clients will know you mean business. In fact, after 6 months you'll have impressed them so much that you can put that lens on your Red as well.

I can't tell if the rear anamorphic adapter is attached in that pic, but if it isn't it makes the lens longer. I want to see that lens on a GH1 + 6x6 mattebox.

I had one of those bad boys. The Cooke 20-100 is approximately seven feet long and weighs upwards of four hundred pounds. That is one big lens.
