The CC tools will be extremely familiar as they were brought over from Symphony. It also has "Symphony Type" secondaries which you will probably never use once you start using the DS Selective Color Correction which lets you really fine tune the key, track mattes and really dial in secondaries without the normal artifacting of Symphony Secondaries. Plus the additional benefit of full keyframing, masking and lots more. And in graphics mode, you can draw and track shapes and fill with anything (sort of like Avid paint effect) but imagine being able to make a shape and have the full color corrector interface inside that! I could go on and on. Yes, lack of AMA really blows and having to use MC to transcode stuff is frustrating but once everything is in the box and you can link to high res files (movies and stills) it is awesome. No need for Moving Picture. Just use a DVE and you can composite away...I'm getting off topic. Anyway, the color corrector is pretty much the same but with a lot more power to make power window type of effects and the like.
