The Canon XC15 is expected to be announced shortly alongside the Cinema EOS C700. The camera will utilize the same focal length of lens and will obviously be 4K. Other than that, what has changed over the XC10 is still unknown.</p>

The audio connection on top of the xc15 could be for a c100 style handle with xlr connections.
If you look at the "flashlicht" connection you will see the same thread as on a c100 for fastening the handle.

Agreed. I'm guessing it's not just another "c100 style handle" rather it probably uses the exact same handle. It drives me crazy that they won't just give it an aps-c sensor and EOS-M lenses, but this is another good step to improve what is still a pretty decent run-n-gun video camera.

Damnnnnnnnnnnniittttttt. I just bought an XC10 yesterday. :-[ :-[ :'( :( :'(

Think I should return it? That redesign is definitely to allow a C100/300 handle to mount and plug in, which I do have.

Edit: Thinking about it, I don't really see myself rigging up the XC15 and using it to collect audio. Any situation that I'd need XLR inputs for I think I'd be more content to just bring my C100. Feeling better about my purchase. Got the XC10 in like-new condition for $1500.

Anyone think this camera could have Dual Pixel CMOS?

That would be a significant improvement, so I doubt it. I think that would warrant an "XC20" or "XC10 Mark II" label.

Ehhh ... I'm betting it does. Canon is clearly going DPAF in all their video geared lines. I'd be shocked if it didn't here. Probably also the new sensor fab using on die ADC too. The XC series I must admit has greatly peaked my curiosity. I may have to use my CPS membership to get a loaner and play with it.

If it also has DPAF, I'd sell my XC10 and upgrade. If not, no.

The lens is still 2.8 to 5.6- I was hoping for 2.8 constant aperture. Only way it's worth buying to me unless they increase sensor size to APS-C. I'm not really expecting much here, especially after the disappointing 5DIV.

I've never used one, but people who have absolutely love this thing. I'm not sure what you're trying to shoot with it, but for $2000 it is one hell of a performer. a 2.8 constant lens would require considerably more glass to achieve raising both the cost and weight significantly for this machine, which is precisely what Canon did NOT want to do with this model. Using a 1 inch sensor also allows for smaller glass. If they moved up to a Super 35 like the C-line, then they would also have to redesign the glass for the bigger sensor, again making the cost/weight issue a problem and double-so if the went to a constant 2.8.

If the new XC15 lands with DPAF and the newer sensor build technology, it will be a homerun for a lot of folks.
