I think John Brawley may have suggested that it probably won't do 60fps, but possibly around 40fps but that's up to Blackmagic (correct me if I'm misquoting you, John). I think when you're dealing with more than the data rate of the current frame rates options, you start to need some sort of RAID 0 based SSD cards which is probably what the F65 needs to record its massive raw frames.
I'd love at least 40fps in ProRes 422 HQ, as that would be 62.5% slow motion when shooting 25fps PAL which is a useful enough in terms of some slow motion abilities. Obviously having 50% (50fps for 25fps) slow motion would be really nice as DSLRs do this, albeit without the detail that the BMCC affords.
50% slow motion is especially good for music videos as you can essentially go "half time" with a shot with the music behind it.
