As for listing measurements in FF equivalents, that's a discussion that devolves quickly and just like politics everyone seems to have their side and can't think beyond it. In my opinion, full frame is exactly the right way to do it - Super 35 is not a broadcast format by any stretch of the imagination and all the glass people throw on their FS5s/FS7s was designed for full frame sensors. If you work in a cinematic/narrative space, then yes, the traditional format is Super 35. That's because most PL glass was designed to cover a Super 35mm film negative (and how many people here are regularly shooting film?). When discussing an EFG/EPG camera, the standards are really 2/3" or lower. I'd wager most people in the DVXUser space - the independent filmmakers shooting narrative content on dSLRs or mirrorless cameras - actually are shooting on full frame cameras. It's only the cheaper models that cut corners on sensor size. Even in the high end space where change is the slowest, the flagship cinematic cameras from all the major manufacturers are beginning to switch over to full frame - Canon has announced the C700 full frame, Sony has the Venice, and RED has their Monstro 8K VV camera. There is zero question that full frame is where everything is headed, but more than that, that's what the modern lenses used on the majority of digital cameras are designed for.
Anyway, I don't want that discussion to take away from what looks to be an absolutely home run of a product. I hope those who are interested in this space give it a serious look, because it ticks nearly every box I can think of.
