Correcting mistakes in previous people's statements: HVX200 doesn't do native 1080 24p. It does 1080i 24p. This means that it's 1/3 inch sensors only have a vertical resolution of 540 pixels, and the HVX200 has to upres to get 1080i. EX1, and even better, EX3, both do native 1080 24p. Slap an SLR adapter and put the basline Cooke S4's on this thing, and it'll beat the shit out of even Panasonic's infinitely commendable 500 model.
I talked for 20 minutes on Tuesday with Ted (owner of RED for those who don't know) and While I will own a Scarlet, and I will have my preorder in the first day they accept them, I wouldn't bank on a Scarlet as your primary camera. Just like how RED ONE won't be stable enough to be a sole camera for probably 2 more years, it'll take 2-3 years from release to get scarlet as flawless as it is in all of our fantasies. Even Ted admits this fact. Openly admits it. "All specs subject to change... Count on it" remember?
EX3 is a bloody amazing camera for the pricepoint. One of Sony USA's heads of sales openly admitted to me that the EX3 is possibly on par with the legendary 9000 at this point, for about 1/10 the cost. put the SLR lense adapter and some good HD lenses, and you're walking on sunshine.
