Well the one thing good is that it's NOT the $70,000 Alexa XT, but rather it's the discontinued Alexa Plus, which goes for around $30,000 nowadays. The lens, though is a $14,000 ARRI Ultra prime.
Close. It's actually an Alexa Plus, which is discontinued and sells for about $30k used.
I can tell that the XEEN is sharper, especially wide open. The fall off into the out of focus area is also more pleasant. The bokeh when stopped down is more pleasant as well.
The warmth of the XEEN is probably the best and most noticeable difference. Really, really liking its tone. I've seen some positive videos on skin tone, too.
Overall, I do think it's enough of a price premium between the two, although I still wish the XEEN is $2,000, though =D
Samsung and other Android phones have also been doing the very high MP (108mp & 50mp on the S22 Ultra & s22+) as well as pixel binning for several years. Nothing new
