Since when? The quality of in-camera downsampling will vary, but I've never heard this claim before. What's the source of it?
Interesting... it has been my understanding for a while now that this is simply the nature of how downscaling effects a raster image, but upon digging further, it seems I had come across some poorly-explained information, and looking more carefully myself I don't see it happening either. It definitely has an effect which is not particularly great, which can be somewhat alleviated depending on how it is handled, but it is not actually a sharpening effect.
I stand corrected on that point, but my other points remain.

No, it is marketed as a professional still image camera, and that I'm sure it is.
Please know that I am not trying to downplay the value of these cameras for cinema work, simply pointing out that for all of the advantages they do in fact offer in some areas, there are also some rather severe limitations in others - it is definitely a trade-off.
