Sun's not going out; it's being flagged.

Gobo'd??

Yeah. A flag is a type of gobo, but not specifically a cookie. Specifically, a flag.

So finally upgraded mine. But I have some points still on the watchlist:
Remote App for Android!!
Area focus working with remote connected!
Rename of scene files like it is realiced in the AG160A (it makes the work a lot simpler in remembering what scene file is for what, i.e. "wed1" is for wedding outdoor)
WB display in Kelvin all the time
...
All can be done with "just" software upgrade...

YES! Barry put some pressure on the Panny boys for the Android App! Especially touch focus on the phone!

Dual output

I feel pretty confident in saying that if there were ever to be a 10-bit DVX200, it would not be in the form of an upgrade, it'd be a new model (like DVX200A, or DVX250, something like that). I can't think of any example where Panasonic has offered internal hardware upgrades to an existing model that would change it so fundamentally, so I don't expect any such upgrade for the DVX200. I do, however, think that it's entirely possible that they could introduce a new 10-bit model whenever they offer an updated version.

Hello berry,

would like to know, if dvx can output hdmi and sdi same time? also what is difference between SDI OUT VS VIDEO OUT(bnc ports)?

SDI outputs a 3G SDI aka high definition picture signal, whereas the video out BNC is a standard definition composite output.

The DVX200 allows either the SDI, or the HDMI, but not both.
