And whether you need a zoom or change lenses depends on how you work, I've been working with primes for one year now and really like it.

Sony FS100.
Size of the lens.... The size of a 10:1 zoom lens will make the camera very heavy and difficult to operate. The focus becomes more critical and so a camera assistant is needed.
As the quality improves so the expertise of the crew has grow to exploit the new possibilities.
The Sony EX1 with its very good 13:1 zoom produces the same quality images with a smaller and easy camera to operate.
The large format cameras have a greater potential but will need more time, crew and money.
