NAB 2018 New Products

[Haakon]

I want a pro camcorder with integrated lens. 4k, 10bit, under $6k.

Don't we all. I've been waiting for Canon to release a successor to the XF-305 for years, but they've basically given up on broadcast. Panasonic tried with the AG-UX180, but it's 8-bit 4:2:0 (yuck) and the lag out the SDI port is really bad. I think the only company who is going to get you in the ballpark of what you're after is Sony, and their two new cameras actually look pretty slick. I spent a great deal of time with the PWX-Z280 at NAB and came away super impressed... but you'll have to cough up $7K for it. :\

You could just put a lens on the EVA1 and leave it there forever

Show me a 20x optical servo zoom for the EVA1... oh yeah, Canon makes one - it's T8.9 (lolz) and costs $70,000.

Do we have any lens from 50mm to 1000mm with a builtin 1.5x TC ( so it can become 75mm to 1500mm) from any manufacturer other than Canon? It is an extreme lens so the narrow T stops. Already that lens is 6.6 kg. If you want wider T stops then it would become way too heavy for field work.

For me and for most of the people here the level of work can't cough up 70K USD for this. Simply my business can't support it. Unless one raises his/her level, this lens is not a buy decision but a rental only item. And that too if your work can justify the rental rates.
