Even a lot of the higher HD camcorders cant produce the same sort of image as they tend to use smaller sensors which cant produce the same sort of noise free high iso or the depth of field that a 35mm camera can produce.
Effectively it's a digital 35mm Cine camera, I've seen quite a few forums slagging the camera off while I tried to tell them of the advantages of a downscaled 35mm sensor but about 90% of the people had their opinion changed when they actually saw the video from it themselves.
If it is at all possible for me to buy one I am planning on buying one, i've wanted a 5D for quite a while and this is basically a 5D on steriods, I honestly think in the canon R&D department they put a photograph of me on the wall and said "Lets make a camera for that guy".
The only thing missing would be 120fps, even if it had to be at a cut resolution!
