Red Rock Micro EVF Wireless
Jared Abrams at Cinema5D has a video with Brian Valente from Redrock Micro showing their upcoming EVF and Wireless Follow Focus. Shipping of the follow-focus was delayed due to work they had to do for motor support (and they were reportedly trying to develop their own inexpensive motors, though that wasn't explicitly mentioned.) Still no dates announced, and Brian notes that they didn't make their summer date. He says a date will be announced "shortly" and it should be available early next year. Sometime.

Panasonic AG-AF100
Jared also posted a short video (for his other site, WideOpenCamera) with Jan Crittenden from Panasonic talking about the AG-AF100 and how she doesn't like to use the term "DSLR-killer" because at $5,000 it's not going to complete with $2,500 DSLRs.

Zeiss Compact Primes
If you're using a DLSR for Cinematography, maybe you should consider the Zeiss Compact Prime Lenses. Designed for cinematography, they are calibrated in T-Stops and have a long throw on the focus barrel, making it easier to pull-focus. On the downside, they are large, heavy and very very expensive. Chris Campat at The Phoblographer posts his first impressions of the lens.
