Obviously JVC don't want to be left out in the cold. ProRes, SSD's, 4k 50/60p 422 10-bit etc etc. Some interesting facts in here.

Both models feature a 1” 4K CMOS sensor with a 20x lens with 3-ring control (iris, focus, zoom), a high-resolution viewfinder, and a claimed 12 stops of dynamic range. Using the same codec that is found in the 
GY-HC900 shoulder-mount camera, the GY-HC500/ HC550 can record to SSD media in a wide variety of formats, including 10-bit ProRes 422 at 4K resolution and 50/60p frame rates. A number of other codecs and recording formats are also available, including H.264 and MPEG-2. Both cameras offer support for BT709, BT2020 and BT2100 HLG color spaces.

Wow, this is a lot of goodness from JVC. If the pricing is right these cameras have a chance. I would be interested to know more about the streaming/graphic overlay functionality as well as the menu/color capability. If they include a nice color matrix these might be on my radar.
