Anybody knows what's the street price on those?
I understand it shoots 24p as well, but does it have the cine gamma or only the new news gamma? Is it the very same as the SDX minus VTR?

It is an SDX camera with P2 slots, plus the news gamma and minus one filter wheel. Also the camera processing is done on 14 bits, whereas SDX does it on 12. I don't know the US price, mybe Jan can help.

So it does have the cine-gamma. Cool. Why the cut on the filter wheel?
How much does it go for in NZ, street?

So far we've sold the SPX900, which has two filter wheels. List price here is $NZ39,000 for the SPX900. The 800 has one filter wheel because it is primary designed for news aquisition.

SPX900? I never heard of it. Or you mean the SDX?

SPX900. It's an SPX800 with two filter wheels. I don't know if it's available in NTSC though...

Aha. Interesting. What's the street price in NZ? 39,000 NZ is like 28,00 US. Way more expensive than in the US.
