Well like Bob says- it's not really the brush that makes the art is it? But yes to answer your incredibly oversimplified query- the Scarlet when released would be a good camera.
Is it a good 'investment?' Well that depends on your definition of investment. In the right hands will it be capable of creating nice looking imagery. Will it keep 100% resale value over 5 years and be the last camera you ever buy- judging by how this industry develops I'd say probably not.
