"... 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.

Yeah, I wonder how loud this thing is though. Is that used beaulieu motor still gonna be sync? Also looks like this thing has a video tap, that’s nice. What people really need to consider are the prices not shown here. The film, the processing, the video transfer…
