Re: Sony, whats next

Michael,
in March Infinity is Down Under(according our Rep).
I have got costing in front of me.
Body,including VF,will be AUS$27,000 which is about US$20,000.
Additional cost will be lenses.
Personally I find standard HD 1/2' lens on Sony waste of time.
For Sony 1/2' HD xdcam You will need to spend extra money on different lens to make most of it.
To spend about US35,000 on Infinity including the decent HD lens is not so bad.
I also think within 2 years there will be some decent HD Industrial lenses for HD Industrial Viedeo Cameras.
With that 14bit Thomson head and 10bit JPEG 2000 this is not a bad value for money camera.
Perhaps in the future with some software upgrade it might have 24,25p as well.
