If you grabbed 2 of the guys in this thread and put them in a room with an HDTV, this is what you would get.

Sounds about right... Personally I don't mind the hip widening effect on some women... but I'm sure they would not appreciate the results...

That was actually pretty funny... :-D!
Huy, add a little bit more to that figure. It's about 180 for the body alone. Then add on the SRW-1 recorder, power, digiprimes, and you will be up and running for near 500,000 for a full kit including primes and zooms.
Haha, I was expecting it around there but couldn't find the actual street price. Even then there's still things to complain about. No perfect cameras!

Haha, the only complaint I have with the F23 is the 2/3 sensor and the weight. But the F35 did away with the 2/3 deal. Basically the F23 offers the dynamic range, the F35 is the 35mm DOF.
I've been talking about this camera for a while now. Considering shooting with a 35 when in comes out. And I have an F23 camera demo coming up.
But those cameras certainly are not HVXs. Haha. To be honest, I was blown away when I got a quote for the F23. Should have expected it though.

When I used to work in image processing in the early 80's, it was 250K just for a digitzation system that would take a stupid NTSC signal and convert it to 640x480. (I've never understood why TV people, ie real broadcast people did the rectangular pixel business...). But anyway... hopefully it won't be another 25 or 30 years till such equipment is down to ordinary mortal affordable prices...
Since the system I was building at the time didn't need to be 'broadcast' oriented, the solution was to select scan and digitization parameters to allow for 'square' pixels... it made the image processing algorithms easier to implement...

I prefer videologizing or videographying.

Latitude, resolution, depth of field, ease of workflow, versatility of workflow, reliability, noise, color depth, professional image on set. That's most of it. $3,000 vs a six-figure camera? Everything is different.

It's not so much how they look put next to each other while shooting a test chart. After-all, how does that really matter?
The HVX is a great camera. I personally have never used one, I prefer film or shooting on pro digital cinema cameras. But you put that next to an F900 or an F23 and it's almost night and day. Like I've said before, the F23 has amazing latitude. Just take a look at cloverfield which was shot under sodium vapor lights only and see how you can pull detail out from everywhere almost like you can with the Vision 3 stock.
4:4:4 recording, plus the use of the SRW-1 gives you tons of options in post. Rather than offloading cards, you record directly to the SRW-1.
You can't really compare an HVX with an F23 or F900. They are different animals for radically different purposes. While the HVX is a great pro-sumer, the F900 or F23 are the flagships of digital cinema...that is until the F35 comes out. But then again, we have the Genesis in there as well as the Viper and others. Essentially, there is a reason why major productions, when they go digital look at the F900, F23, Viper, Genesis and not the HVX.

4:4:4 if you have green screen, your vfx guy will love you.
