Used AF100 or new Blackmagic?

In my opinion resolution is overated. If your shooting for broadcast or the internet its really hard to see any difference between something shot at 4k vs 1080.
 
I'm looking forward to the BMD camera (and I have no plans to part company with my AF-100).
Okay, some thoughtful points have been made but (for me), at the price point & what you get for the money, it's pretty much a no-brainer . . . I'm willing to risk a little bit.
I mean, if the camera doesn't work I'll send it back for a refund.
No XLR's ? Gee whiz, I'm not planning on doing any silent features so I guess I'll just have to figure something out.
Internal battery? I'll probably just plug in my Tekeon 3450 between takes . . . like I did ALL DAY Saturday with the Shuttle2 on my AF-100.
I understand their rationale on lens mounts and at least I won't have to send out a search party for candidates.
Funny . . . my guess, if you painted it black and wrote Canon MK??? on the side people would be willing to pay 2-3 times the price.
Obviously not a camera for all seasons but I have little doubt I'll find a way to make my money back in short order.
P.S. on helicopter video . . . check out some of the footage on GOPRO's website, some of those shots are so sick!
Cheers!
