"... the camera was originally planned to sell for about US$1,000 (with a lower-priced $400 to $700 version to follow), it will now set you back $5,495..."

You could also buy a fully functional Beaulieu cine16 camera with lenses for less than $2k and still have $3k to spend on the purchase and development of the film.

This is only going to sell to influencers or people who have more money to waste than film making talent. Kodak, whom invented the video camera then shelved it, is a great example of how to run a multi billion dollar company into the ground with pure hubris.

All that and it charges via Micro USB, there are cameras designed for children that have more advanced features than this garbage.

Hah... the worst of the USB connections even. $5500 camera with a cable only worth a penny that has it's charging pins go flat and more in it's poor design?

They won’t be able to sell it in the EU. LOL

USB-C or wireless. All the other cables need to die.
