It is completely possible that someone could shoot a full length movie with it, as long as you record the audio separately. This camera can offer better quality than the XH-A1, and don't forget that Crank 2 used an XH-A1. So yeah, why not?

I am getting a 7D btw, this is amazing for the price.

Looks good, but have not really checked it out! If 7D is as good as the press release, its a winner!

Eugenia: I haven't seen a price yet. Have they announced or there a rumored price?

the 1080p sample on dpreview had a lot of skew (jello-cam) to my eye, but the imaging resource sample at 720p60 looked quite reasonable. As for shooting a feature, I recall someone shooting a documentary on a Fisher-Price PXL2000, there's just no accounting for taste :-).

For what it is, I think the price is reasonable, MSRP $1700 http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=19356

The sensor is APS-C size, not full frame, so it might even be able to use 35mm cine lenses with an adapter.
