My list:
1) 60p
2) Joystick control of the focus mag
3) Finer incrementation in the ISO range, a la the FS100, along with Auto ISO - This is one feature where the FS100 shines, IMHO (when used in conjunction with 2/3 stop AE shift to protect highlights, it's a great way to maintain cinematic quality in R&G situations).

I am wondering if there will any news at NAB. I doubt it firmware-wise... if you look back at the history of DSLR and big sensor cameras, which really big improvements came via FW updates? Mark 2 was the first one which got adjustable audiometers, with the 7D it took Canon 2 years until they released an update... And Sony never did it for their Alpha series (a77, a99). The history of FW updates is dark. Unfortunately.

I bought 3 and they are lovely....
Canon, please at least have an auto shutdown/standby after 2-3 mins of inactivitity. I forgot to off my cam and the battery was drained flat.
1080 60p.
move magnification focus around and possible zoom in a bit further.
put joy stick on camera body that can change everything (iso, white balance, shutter speed, f-stop)
it would be nice to use the entire 4k sensor for photos as well, think about cool time lapses!

I would say make an attachment like the plastic thumb cap, but that has a joystick in it to control camera better.
I'll take 720/60 as well. Other than that, I love this camera!

You mean if you output to monitor you cannot output peaking and waveforms???

Then buy a monitor that has peaking and waveform in it. Not that complex at all.
No, not complex, true. My SmallHD has focus assist, peaking, and false color, but I actually find the focus tools in the C100 to be superior, and it would be nice to have the option. Monitors that display waveforms are pretty pricy, and as there's one already built into the camera, why not take advantage of it? One of the advantages of the C100 is that it has some things you DON'T need to buy.
