Yes the economic crisis would have an effect, but that is not the whole story. Again, when DPs were using only $500 000 cameras, it was a better paid job, whether that is silly or not, that is how...

Not the BMW commercial, but the entire middle-end of the business has indeed been decimated. There aren't many BMW commercials, and even people who make commercials like that, most of their income...

If what you said was true, that would be wonderful.

No. Its' not. Not everybody here is a hobbyist. Some people here realize that plumetting equipment costs means plumetting revenue for rental shops. At some point it will no longer be viable to...

No, they don't. You are simply wrong about this.

As a side-note I would like Blackmagic to close. They put other people/innovators out of business, and seem to want to decimate any small shops...
