Pretty smart marketing to keep it close to the BMC 4K price point.
Of course the BMC boys will say it doesn't have RAW or ProRes and a much smaller sensor but I think it will take off because of the camcorder form and easier to use for run and gun work.

Sony just announced this 4K camera today. 400-500mbps recording rate. Crazy.
Supposed to be about $7K or so

Interesting Sony camera - I agree with Jake.
The only "issue" I can see is that you might "get away" with just being a tourist if you use the BM 4K camera and a small lens at places that don't allow pro filming without a permit. The Sony looks "too professional" to get away with that!

I like the form factor and the professional options of a "traditional" video camera. But I also like the stealthiness and film-like qualities of a DSLR. So, I think it's best to have one of each.
I'll probably be looking for a replacement for my Panasonic HPX-170 in 2014, and it'll probably be 4K-capable. Something like this new Sony would be a good option for me. But I bet there will be plenty of choices come April, 2014.
I'm not quite ready to jump on the 4K bandwagon just yet...
2014 will be the year of 2014K.

Most definitely NAB 2014 will be very interesting in the 4K arena.

The PXW-Z100 looks like a really good deal. One of the UK dealers is pricing it at approx $6750 ex sales tax.
Notice it doesn't do 24p though - a deliberate omission?

I still prefer the global shutter of the BMCC.
"4K Super 35mm Sensor with Global Shutter"

Given the delays in shipping and issues such as the "blooming" sensor on the pocket I am starting to think about cancelling the BM 4K pre-order.
