First Impressions on Color Features
Denver Riddle took a quick look at the color features in Final Cut Pro X, and while he thinks they are an improvement over the 3-Way Color Corrector, they aren't perfect, particularly the AutoBalance feature:
In conclusion my first impression with playing around with the color correction tool sets is that they will be more than adequate for the beginning/amateur filmmaker, adequate for small/micro budget projects and for editors to show client color corrected proofs, but for medium and large budget projects I would hire a professional colorist or use a dedicated color grading app.
