I am waiting on the little pocket one to be reviewed. If good. I am getting it for video work. If I can afford it at the time.

I agree. The little camera is very interesting. The negative for me is that it takes m4/3rd lenses of which I own none. At that price point though and if it delivers on the promises, I may have to add a couple of those lenses to my kit (and the camera of course...).

The small BMCC is very impressive and the image on it looks fantastic. Major downside is the rolling shutter which is substantially more pronounced than on the 5D.

If you can control your pans and don't shoot mostly action, I think it's a great camera and with one of these:

...the lens issue might not be as bad.
