Don't we need a new camera topic since the Panasonic HVX500 is already out and working?

That's the H-P-X 500. I hate to nitpick, but in this case it's better to distinguish the camera from any possible update of the HVX. AFAIK, there is only one camera with the HVX prefix, and the HPX prefix is for Pansonic's 2/3" chip P2 cameras.
