They finally gave us FSRAW support on the 5" Ninja V!

You still need a suitable recorder to get the raw from both FS5 and FS7 (and the raw upgrade in the case of the FS5 Mk1). Especially for the FS5, the only previous recorders were the Shogun Inferno and the CD Odyssey (with licences) - both discontinued and less flexible than thr Ninja line.

Actually, you are forgetting about Sony's R5 recorder, which is arguably the best, simplist, and most elegant solution for 16-bit RAW.
And it just so happens I'm selling my FX7 + R5 combo right now! :-) https://www.dvxuser.com/forum/market...corder-package
It is a great package for anyone who really wants to capture very high-end images at a price that is actually less than today's cost of a new FS7m2. You get the FS7 (same as an mark2 but without variable ND), XDCA, R5, 1TB of memory cards, and the IFR5 interface. Everything you need.

The FS700 has been one of best bang for buck 4K for a while. But now with prices of used FS7 and FS5 go for, is this really that relevant? Seems price of a FS700 plus this recorder buys a FS5 or even FS7. Or what I'm missing?

Firmware 10.71 is for both the V and V+. Slightly different levels of capability depending on the camera/recorder combo.

Saw this earlier this morning—it's huge! Totally unexpected, as well.

Maybe this is part of the effort by Atomos to move more Ninja V+ units. I picked one up when they offered a $500 discount to existing owners of the Shogun (and some other models), and now I'm glad I did. It's not my favorite piece of kit but this makes it much more useful if I want to keep my Fs5 going longer alongside the FX6.

The only downside is it only records ProRes RAW, which means you need the extra step of transcoding if you want your footage in regular ProRes flavors (which I'd prefer).

It's actually the Ninja V+ not the Ninja V.

For me this will make the camera rig so much lighter and more portable. Very excited!
