"... 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.

This isn’t the same Kodak is it? It’s a zombie brand
