What comes after the DSLR...?

Lots of filmmakers love HDSLRs, but the still camera can't be the end solution for video. Follow focus systems, dual-audio, eyepieces, tons of memory cards...it's not simple. Apparently Panasonic and Sony noticed that people were spending money on all these items that are being built by other companies like Indisystems and Zacuto instead of on more expensive cameras that incorporate everything to begin with...so the next evolution of the video camera in the sub $10,000 range appears to be DSLR chips in video camera bodies.  Check out the full story and interview with Philip Bloom at coolhunting. Here's a little outtake from the interview with Philip Bloom. He told me a little bit about his friends:
