Is it still worth getting the AF100

It's a shame there was never a successor to the AF100. From memory they were first to market with a low-end cinema-type camera, beating both the FS100 and C100, I think. It was a really sweet price point too, and one which still has a wide gap in the market (~$3000 to $6000).

It would've been great to see a newer version with 4K, 10 bit, 120p/240p, V-log, etc. Maybe even a return of the oversized sensor a la GH2, or maybe even proper s35 sensor like the JVC LS300 does while still keeping the m4/3 mounts.

At least the old one can be picked up super cheap - so you'll have plenty of cash left to get a Speedboster or external recorder!
 
Yes, it was a great camera (on paper at least). IT never delivered on its promise unfortunately. I would never buy this camera now. I sold mine after one production.
