At $9000, it’s a tad more expensive than the Sony camera. As for a “true HD stream”, it’s my understading that it can output full uncompressed so you could simply use it as a camera to feed a deck bypassing the tape completely on the Canon.
* Uncompressed 1080/60i 4:2:2 HD-SDI output at 1.485 Gbps
* Multi-format external HD recording to HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, etc.
