Hmmmm....not sure what to think about that footage - largely because it's pretty irrelevant as most stuff looks good in promos and on the web - the GH4 stuff for instance looks spectacular.
Nothing nasty there for sure, and the lit people stuff did look really nice.
I think there's a wide consensus that most cameras can create these nice-looking images these days and its success and popularity comes down more to other factors:
Specification (important to producers and commissioners) - frame rates, pixel count
Operation (important to operators) - so how nice it is to use, any serious pains in the backside, and especially any major glitches
Price (not so important in many spheres, but vitally important if it's going to establish itself as a widely used product throughout the market and sell in large numbers)
Specs look pretty standard and well up to scratch - and appealing if the 120fps 4k is true. Wonder what the rolling shutter will be like. Operation looks like it will probably be good, looks like a well-made and well laid-out camera, plus you would hope that the fact that it seems to be about 2 years behind the game is because it's been thoroughly tested and debugged! It will be interesting to see the final price - I was right about it being vastly more expensive than the F55, but I do wonder if they will greatly reduce the price upon release as even though I did guess right it still did seem a crazy price in today's market.
