Why isn't there more C100 video samples by now? According to B&H, "Expected availability: November 30 2012". is not too far away. I have seen 1 or 2 but I expected more by now. I was also wondering since the 5D III has 720 60P and will have a 4:2:2 out with new firmware, that we could expect at least 720 60P with the C100?
 
There is at least one new video coming out very soon, within a week or so. I've heard excellent things about it.
 
Maybe because there aren't many preproduction models out there? I don't know, it seems logical to me. But then the real question is why aren't there more models out there?
I had one in my hands a few days ago but it was really basic. No scene file settings, no nothing... Just an option of two gammas to select from and that's it. And apart from that some
things weren't even working as they should. For instance if ISO was set at 320 the camera would clip at app. 80IRE !
 

Unfortunately that video doesn't let you see how good the camera is or is not because it's too heavily graded and compressed. I think what most need to is ungraded clips we can download the original files of to really see what we'd be working with if we spent the $6,500. Or at least a review from a trusted source like Philip Bloom...
