question
So... 1080 60p for 20k? what makes this camera better than an A7sii??
When comparing gear, consideration for what the intended use of that piece is necessary. The Canon ME20F-SH and the Sony a7S II are for two different markets.The a7S II is meant more for the indie/commercial filmmaker budgets and the Canon ME20F-SH is for industrial, documentary and/or high end commercial/Hollywood budget productions. For the cost you get better low light performance than the a7S II and that comes into play when image quality is paramount. Also it is not just about shooting in normal low light situations, it also allows using high f stops on long lenses , or shooting underwater (it gets dark quickly there) or night aerial videography.

question
Why is it $20K?!
It is for high end movie production or corporate imaging needs where image quality is paramount and cost secondary. It has a huge full frame sensor that has Up to 4 Million ISO & 12 Stops DR, locking EF mount and other features that you have no doubt read. For that market, the price is not a consideration, only the best is.

question
Why would Canon not to release a camcorder with the same sensor in a standart EOS Cinema form-factor (such as C100) and Cinema DNG recording?
With the ME20F-SH, Canon is making a camera that not only Hollywood can use, but one that addresses the needs organizations outside the entertainment industry. Not just for television and cinema, it is specifically designed for low light videography with it's large full frame sensor and high ISO.

question
Does the camera write to an inserted memory card? Or, is the bandwidth of the recording stream so big that the camera must be hardwired to an external memory module to record movies?
With the Canon ME20F-SH, you record the video to an external recorder such as the Atomos Ninja Blade. The recording stream is not so enormous as you might think. Remember, this is a just a Super35 sensor with only a 2.26 MP's. You may be confusing the high ISO with with pixels. Even then it would be only a 4MP camera. You can compare this with Sony's a7S II which is a 12MP video camera and it records 4K internally. Note: While the ME20F-SH does have a card slot, that is only for firmware updates.
