Noah,

Of cousre there is difference between the CCD's. Night and Day

So even more so, putting a B4 or 1/3 mount won't hurt Varicam sales.

But, cripple the camera? Why kill "" OPTIONS ""

Simple, Panasonic has B4 and 1/3 mounts in their resources. In the end it's cheaper. To make a fixed lens requires for you to hire a 3rd party company to design the optics and a long time of testing to marry it to your system.

This alone 1 to 2 years of R&D. That will cost a lot more then using mounts or the tooling you already have in your resources.

They do however machine 100 dollar mounts, the technology has been in their company for many years.

Why is this hard for you to understand Noah. If you do understand this, then you would easily understand by Panasonic going the mount route that is cheaper for them to do.

You know as a Filmmaker you could rent lenses, renting is mostly how it's done.

Noah I have a question for you...

If you had made Formosa with the HVX (if it was out then), would you not prefer to have the option using professional lenses from a rental house.

Noah, why didn't you make Formosa using Varicam?
