While a few pople criticized the 300 for having a 1/3 inch sensor, from my personal experience it hasn't been too much of a problem. Where I needed shallow DOF, I just backed up, zoomed in and was good to go. AVC-I is awesome, 4:2:2 color sampling is great as well allowing us to color-grade as much as we wanted withough introducing artifacts. I have to say that in that price range it is a killer camera. Flexible, capable, portable. All of the needed functions are right there via hardware not menus. It also has CAC, DRS, capable of recording proxies (used as dailies). I hooked it up with a RedRockMicro matte box and follow focus 2 and was in business. It also has very low power consumption, built in hd monitor and many many other pro goodies. I recommend it to any indie filmmaker. And if you bent outta shape cuz it has 1/3 imager, get over it, get a relay for SLR lenses and be set. This camera delivers!

I must say, I was impressed, but not as much to pay almost double the price I paid for HVX. Is it really worth it? Well, I am a proud owner of HVX200a and had the opportunity to test this baby.
