I'd buy that.
Coming soon! S35, 2K, 13+stops, RAW, $8K, video cam form factor. Who knows how good the final quality will be? ...early tests on the S8 version are looking good though.

...as for me... I'd like to see some continuation of Nikon's trend for full HDMI out including their lowest models. (I'm pretty sure that this isn't where Nikon will do that as this isn't their "typical" forum to do that sort of thing, ....) However, I'm just hoping that they'll continue to push that agenda to put pressure on Sony, Canon, and Panny to do the same and stop messing around with the DSLR stuff at that level because we all know that they can do it. (Any questions, just look at the 300 HX9V that does full/clean HDMI out (compact cam)).
Cheers!
I'm a little surprised, too. Panasonic should put the sensor of the GH3 (or whatever they're working on now) into a small video camera form factor. Add AVC-Ultra with 10-bit 4:2:2 and supporting data rates of up to 50 Mbps (maybe up to 75 Mbps for 60p). Add clean 10- to 12-bit HDMI output. And maybe a flat profile like the Technicolor CineStyle available for the Canon dSLRs. That should be doable for $2,000 (with lens).
They should be thinking of 4K or QuadHD in addition to what you suggested. Still for less than $10K.

Slide film is only about 6 or 7 stops.

If you took a roll of fugi 100 color reversal film and processed normally through E6 you WILL NOT GET 12+ stops DR! At best you get 7 stops as combat states. Motion picture film however is different, like 5201.

Yeah, right! Not gonna happen.
Here is what I would like to see at the next NAB-
A single unit that ONLY consists of a high end camera sensor and lens mount (no processor or media storage)... (differently priced models - 2k sensor, 4k sensor, 5k and up)
That unit would connect via Cat5 (or whatever connection) to ANY laptop or computer. (There are tablet and netbook computers with more processing power and storage capacity than any camera has!)
This would put an end to it all because at that point, any feature that you could ever think of would just be a software update. The unit itself should be pretty cheap also because you are essentially just paying for the sensor and lens mount (yes you would pay for software development also but this has pretty much been done a thousand times across all the cameras out there... not really much to truly "develop").
This would also be the ultimate scalable product - If you are in the field, you could just plug this into an intel i7 tablet computer with a 1080p touch screen as the monitor.
If you are filming in a studio, what could a camera be capable of if it had the processing power of 16+ gigs of ddr3 ram, an Intel i7 processor and a raid array recording the video? No more compression of any kind would be required and then you can edit on the same machine that stored the video footage to begin with... you could probably start editing WHILE the thing was still recording if you really wanted to...
you could probably get 1000+FPS and all the other features people always talk about here on these forums
I would imagine this is how some cameras are developed anyway until they figure out how to stuff it all into a camera body... why worry about putting the processing and media storage part into a camera body at all?

Another vote for an HPX250/AC160 with a 4/3" chip.
I'm not a big fan of auto-focus. But a magnified view for manual focus would be nice.
And if we're talking about an hpx250-style camcorder with a 4/3 sensor and AVC-Intra, the permanently attached fast (f/2.8 ?) zoom would probably be restricted to something like 20 to 120. Anything more would be so bulky, heavy, and expensive as to be impractical

I don't know about the HVX250, but the HPX170 has a focus assist that does just that. Quite helpful actually.
I do agree with you on the lens though. You're simply not going to get a 20x zoom lens with such a camera today. But I'd be happy with something in the 24-180 range. I wouldn't need something as wide as 20, or super telephoto.

More lenses from Canon/Nikon would be nice. Other than that, I'm feeling 2013 will be "the" year of 4k exploding. But, we're so not there yet.

720 rez 3-5" EVF's for $1000 or less.
From what I'm hearing mst orders will be filled early March.
Interested as always to see what people announce at Nab. I'm thinking this year may see some second iterations of what we already have. Panasonic have liked announcing at NAB in the past so something to look out for.
