Yes, for one you have the hdmi output that negates in some ways the hack, but my main problem with this camera is the sensor/processing. The main problem for me is DR, from zacuto to philip bloom it is rated less or I can clearly see less DR than the HDslr in general. Pany thought that just putting a good enough large sensor camera would sway the whole Hdslr crowd. Yes it cures most of the the dslr problems, less jellow, less aliasing, less moire, but nothing more that would have the wow factor. They did not do their homework well, the main attraction of this new large sensor crowd is not functionality (yes it is very nice to have all these in the camera) but image quality. Just a camera head with 2k raw or uncompressed 10 bit, 12+ Dr image would appael much more to this crowd. I hope that the rumored camera for nab (I saw it only on 43rumors) would really bring something much better than the HDslr at least in terms of image quality.
