Yes, I said that!

(Don't start a thread with an insult for a title . . . and then misspell the insult on top of that. -- Jubal28)

I have been looking for a way to get better than 4:1:1 color for keying for three years now.

Everything that was better (4:2:2 or better) cost $25K or more.

I was so desperate, that's why I was considering buying this combo.

$15K-$40KCamera http://www.ikegami.com/br/products/hdtv/pdf/HDL40C_240C.pdf

$25-$60K Recorder http://www.mindspring.com/~movie/baytech/share/PressRelease20040410.pdf

This thing had starting package for $20K and hold 8GB.

Yes, only eight gigs! Maybe that's why they are gone with the wind.

There was nothing before P2 that I could afford (under $10K) and still go make a movie.

Now I can make a movie without bring in any investors even.
Now I can make a $100K movie with $80K of it going to productions not just the Camera package.

The specs look great and price is right to me. Even $2k for 8GB.

Let's just hope that the HVX-200 is not just vaporware.

Educate yourself and go make your movies, the future will be here soon.

Our last movie was shot on the DVX-100, yes Not the DVX-100A even.

Learn the P2 work flow.

I really can't wait.

Break a leg, and see you all at the movie.

In wheels chair?

LOL, Hahaha. While you complain. I will laugh all the way to bank.

My advice: Buy the Ikegami tomorrow instead of waiting another year for the semi automatic -proprietary ownership- P2 camera. You finally can start with your color keying project! You know what? Good illumination (as always) is the trick here.
 
Let's just hope that the HVX-200 is not just vapor warez.

vaporware= a product that is discussed and anticipated that never seems to make it to market.

vapor warez= some sort of non-existent, but rumored cracked software?

Thanks for the corrections.
 
mrthornton, I did not delete or change a single word of your post. I changed your title, and stated why. Calling people stupid in no uncertain terms is insulting and against the code of conduct you agreed to when you registered. There are people who don't agree that P2 is the way to go; it does not make them stupid to think so.
