Hpx300 rumors

Interchangeable lenses sound great. But Panasonic or canon should really make a camera with a built in 35mm lens adapter inside the body. I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet with the amount of people that use adapters.


i've said this a long time ago....it must be extremely complicated to make or extremely expensive or something because it seems like something that should've been done not too long after the hvx came out and when adapters started getting more popular.
 
I did a search on google and came up with the HPX300. It's a clip on you tube but it's a typo and the film is about the HPX3000.

I hope the rumor is true, sounds very exciting.

Weenie.
 
I have some info about the new model, the AG-HPX301:

1/3" 1920 x 1080 3 MOS
AVC-I High Picture Quality
Variable Frame Rate
Light Weight (5.9KG)
 
I've heard from a reliable source that there will be a shoulder type camera with AVC Intra in the HPX500 price range. Don't know about the sensor size or type.
 
Its probably going to be a 2/3" hpx500 replacement, since everything else in their shoulder mount series are AVC Intra capable besides the hpx500. This means that you have to spend $$$$ on 2/3" lenses and also means that you need a $$$$ and currently "doesnt exists" b4 relay in order to get that 35mm dof. That this point, you might as well wait for the new Red cams.

Furthermore, I cannot imagine a 13 lbs hvx200 form factor camcorder, unless you want to break your wrist or if you want to use the camera as a workout dumbell.
 
whens the release anticipated for those new RED cams and how much are they supposed to cost? i heard something about an affordable version?
 
If you are referring to Scarlet, it starts at about $2400, and goes ten times that amount with accessories.

At least the last time I looked.
 
I would *guess* 22k for a "working" Scarlet S35 without any lens. The cheapest decent Cine 2/3" lens starts at about $24k and you only get a S16mm DOF. While you can buy less than $300 Nikon 50mm f1.4 and have almost no breathing.
 
NEVER SAY NEVER... will check my source this week....

I reckon Panny needs to step up to the plate as Sony is taking a big chunk of the business right now at our end of the scale...

What figures to have on sales between Sony and Panasonic?

I couldn't find anything, and I don't remember seeing anything in the last three years.
 
depends what your idea of a working scarlet is. If they want 7k for the s35 body and you price out the accesories that already exist in their store. it's about 12.5k without lenses...that's bare minimum that i can get by with to start shooting...but that's me...

Your $7500 doesnt even buy you the button to turn the Red sensor ON.
