Sell my EA50UH for a C100 just for better lenses?

I shoot weddings. A lot of them. The kit lens with the EA50UH is utter crap. I can get an adaptor but the big lenses are just too heavy to hang off the body and I can't use rods. I don't know how much better a Canon 70-200 and 28-70 2.8L series lens would be on the C100....if it would be worth the thousands of dollars. Would it be worth it?
 
I recently sold my EA50. Have a FS700 and A7s now, but damn, I miss that lens.
I shoot quite a lot of stage performances, and although the lens was often a bit too slow, combined with the face detection it was a good lens for that.
 
Well I can't exactly answer that. I also use an EA50 with the kit lens for weddings. The ergonomics of the EA50 vs. the C100 are something to consider too.
The EA50 kit lens is slow, yes. But the camera does have several things going for it.
 
if u have the budget do it go with the c100 route

I work with ea50 nx5n professionally as my week job... hate how i have to spend so much time with color correction deal with s*%t motion bad rolling shutter and s*%t lowlight performance (acceptable up to 1250 ISO ). bad aliasing with EA50.
5d3 and 6d for my weekend jobs. much less time color correct and better motion and much better low light for professional use (up to 12800 ISO) acceptable rolling shutter. much better auto White balance
C100 should be better than 5d3.

1080 60p and having the servo zoom is useful on the EA50
