Re: Trade-in Your Varicam for a Varicam!

Steve,

I am sure the 3700 makes nice images, but my market is moving to larger sized imagers. I hope your R/D folks in Japan are seeing this transition and are hard at work on new camera. Also, the lack of any frame rates over 30fps is a deal killer. My RED goes to 60fps at 3K and 120fps at 2K.

I've been a big supporter of Panasonic over the years (over $350K invested), but the current line up of cameras appeals to neither me or my client base. The fact you are discounting your flagship camera 50% only shows that market for high end cameras is moving away from 2/3". (Look at the popularity of the Canon 5D MkII)

Panasonic has great engineering potential... I hope the next generation of Varicam will exceed the current offering. I'd like to continue supporting Panasonic with my investment dollars.
