Next model after hvx200?

Now that the HVX-200P is established I think a more filmic version (not successor) would be a good next product. My wish list for the HVX-250F, in order:

True 1080 x 1920 with 24PN recording with overcrank and undercrank support (As in point it at a chart and the recorded image is accurate down to the pixel). My understanding is that this is not part of the DVCProHD spec, so a different codec would be required.

Faster lens, even to the point of sacrificing zoom range. It would allow the user to get closer to 'the film look' without resorting to 35mm adapters.

10 Stop latitude, less noise in darks. 2/3" imager needed for this.

Zoom function on LCD and Video Out to aid in focusing. Touch screen LCD might facilitate this.

Cable access to all four sound channels. XLR snake might be needed, but that would be fine as long as a high quality connection between the snake and camera is used.

Image flip for 35mm adapter use.

Similar cam-corder form factor, not a shoulder mount.

Around $9 grand price, putting it between the HVX and HPX.

I would honestly be happy with an upgraded LCD and HD-SDI out. One of my biggest problems with the HVX 200 is getting the analog hd out to HD-SDI.

The extra cables and AJA boxes everywhere drive me f***ing insane ! not to mention the director suddenly yelling "picture's gone again"... it's embarrassing.

Also, there are some pretty cool options now for bypassing the cameras internal compression and going straight to disk via hd-sdi.

Get a short D4 Cable: Still happens, but you have to be pretty hard on the shorter ones to get the image to go out. I learned my less on that one as well.

AS far as SD recording being a waste: Negative. Maybe a waste for what you do, but for a lot of people SD is still THE choice. The fact that the HVX200 still has an SD tape deck makes it even more attractive as the FULL package.
