...with 35mm, 50mm and 85mm lenses...

now, they got my attention :biggrin:

I wonder if Sony is going to start offering PL lenses.

Scarlet is smelling NAB 2011.

Yes, the Sony definitely requires an external recorder if you don't want to shoot 35mbps XDCAM EX.

The model w/ lenses costs $23K.

$16K is for body only.

$16K is for body only.

... equals how many scarlets?

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Yes, the Sony definitely requires an external recorder if you don't want to shoot 35mbps XDCAM EX.

And a proper monitor.

 

[Alex G. Cohn]

And a proper monitor.

Yes, but every single camera in the world would be improved by a proper external monitor.

LOL, Forget the $16k door stop, I was interested in the set of three high quality T2.0 glass for $7k :wink:

 

[Craig W. Bickerstaff]

I wonder if this thing is bayer pattern or stripped like the f35 and the genesis.
Does look like an interesting camera, more interesting than the af100 to me anyway.

 

[scott william]

no raw.

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Yes, but every single camera in the world would be improved by a proper external monitor.

Of course, although it's kind of funny buying a camera and avoiding its recording option and a monitor. While paying $ 16 000.


Maybe there will be an option for adding $450 for monitoring through Xperia X10.
That way one can also tweet "I'm shooting".

probably 1... scarlet with everything needed to shoot (modules) will probably be around the same price

I know you love that high quality PL glass, but a lot of people will be interested in this:

" For documentarians, a new Sony-developed zoom lens will use the camera's proprietary native lens mount. (The camera ships with a PL-mount adapter.) "

A traditional ENG/EFP style servo zoom is probably the biggest thing current video cameras have over a RED cinema camera, that a lot of users prefer. (and a big reason for interest in the scarlet fixed)

 

[Pawel Achtel]

" For documentarians, a new Sony-developed zoom lens will use the camera's proprietary native lens mount. (The camera ships with a PL-mount adapter.) "

I agee. As more S35 cameras are becoming available I think there is a market for ENG-style PL Zooms with servo motors and image stabilization, etc... This market was generally well served by Canon, Fujinon and Angenieux. But, "Sony proprietary native lens mount", WTF?

I was thinking the same thing...
$2.000 per lens, it better be good
If Sony enters the market with its line of lenses, Canon will fire with a very competitive camera.

This surprises you? From Sony? Proprietary? Who'da thunk it?! :blink:
