    Hm, good spot. They're really throwing down the gauntlet on Zoom -- wonder if the F8 will come down $ at all...

    Interesting.

    But even at $600 it's pushing it.

    I have had to put my business hat on and put aside money for 2015 taxes, while also saving for a Sony F65 purchase next year. And even used they take a good chunk of change.

    Funny after reading another thread about someone doing a kickstart campaign to build a house, I got the idea to do a kickstart campaign to buy me a Sony F65. Lower level donors will get stock footage shot with the F65, mid level will get stock footage library, and the single high donor spot would get a dvxuser crew made up of folks like Matt, to come to their location and help in the production of their film. In return the dvxuser crew members would get to use the F65 for their feature, project, or however long is fair.

    I had been meaning to get one of these, but put it on hold to save for a new camera.
