True -- as a DSLR-user, with focus happening off-chip, I miss the superior dynamic-range of the Sony sensors more than the DPAF.

If I were making video, I suspect I'd be singing the same tune. DPAF is excellent.

Which TBF hints at the reason Sony does have all of this nice image sensor technology.

While they've been a newer player in the Camera industry, they've been doing professional digital video for far longer (SW EP2 was shot on Panavision-modified Sony cameras.) That's on top of their long lineage in the pre-digital-recording TV Market.
