So there's no AF100 Successor - Now what?

If you’ve been hoping that eventually there would be a camera to replace the AF100 this may be the camera to keep your eye on. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursaminipro It’s Compatible with EF, PL, B4 and F mount lenses! If only it was available with a MFT mount…………Maybe next year after they see how well their new MFT 4K Pocket Camera does.

Actually their new pocket 4k camera looks pretty interesting and uses MFT lenses, though the body looks more like a mirrorless camera than a cinema camera. Records to ProRes or raw
 
Yes, this camera (BMPC4K) comes closest to a AF100, save the body style, bit it has XLR audio, and one of the best sounding (audio quality wise) BN Cameras yet. Had MFT sensor and mount, records Video and Extended Video (softer than Rec709), ProRes and a Raw, CFast and SD card slots, an excellent 5-inch screen, with touch screen menu interface. Now only if it were in a AF100 type body, smaller and lighter than the Ursa Mini Pro.
Cheers

IMHO the JVC-LS300 comes closest in terms of spiritual successor.

Same mount (with MFT sensor crop option), dedicated audio compartment with XLR, internal ND, 4K, LOG gamma...etc.; so i think it's damn close to the AF100 :)
