Do you think they are using the Atomos to record or the internal codec? I don't plan on having an external recorder so I'm more interested in what the internal codec looks like.

Meh. $11,743 is more than "under $8,000". lol Also, I think we'd hear it from Panasonic first. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

According to the site, the EVA has been 'discontinued'. Wow! Already? Not even released and discontinued? I've heard of built-in obsolescence but that's crazy!

EVA1 as pictured? Sure, if you want what's pictured; it's not altogether under $8000, no. EVA1, straight out of the box with whatever it comes with (top handle, monitor and arm, a battery, etc) will be under $8000. It's not a Red brain. It is a fully-functioning camcorder unibody that takes camcorder media, camcorder juice, and camcorder peripherals, but has a Super 35 sensor, a reportedly Varicam-like image, and a mount that supports affordable and easy-to-source lenses. Hell, you'll be able to buy the media and batteries at Best Buy. That's gonna be under $8000. Starting from the ground up? No, you need to buy lenses and such. You want a Gratical and other Zacuto stuff? It's more. Not sure how many of us here are starting from scratch. Stop pissing, Yuri. I, myself, have several EF-mount EOS lenses plus some PL lenses that adapt to EF. And, I have a bunch of compatible batteries. Also, a heavy Sachtler system, a comfortable shoulder-mount kit, etc. not my first rodeo. I'll be fine. We'll all be fine. A Gratical is nice to have but unneccessary to get an EVA1 system up and running.

Sorry, I am starting from scratch. I have a fun GH4, a crappy tripod, a bunch of M43 lenses, a bunch of Nikon lenses and Nikon bodies for still photography. Look, I'm not complaining. But the Gh4 was $1500, then the batteries, lenses, charger, external recorder, etc etc it all adds up.

I have a roof over my head, a wife, etc. I have it a lot better than a lot of other people in this blue marble.

I'm just saying you start at 8k and go up from there. I just have to start earning more $$$.

But the camera comes in an EF mount. How many have existing EF glass? Or even existing EF cine glass? Or even existing third party eve's? So yes, the camera is $8,000 or less. Because you're buying the camera. Pretty sure this camera isn't marketed for people who don't have existing things like lenses, evf's, external recorders? I know that if I buy into the EVA, it will cost me $8k or less, because all the stuff that goes on it is behind me in a case.

Thats like buying new patio furniture that cost $1500 and thinking it really costs $800,000 because you will need a house for it.

Now now. I'm a sound guy with $5k in sound gear. Sacramento is flyover country. I'm starting to do some narrative films. I hired a DP for my last project who came with an Alexa Mini. I fell in love with the skin tones. I researched the VariCam. Excellent skin tones as well.

And my house cost $135k. So there.

Just trying to make a point about the cost of film stuff. You all don't have to jump all over me.
 
I stand by my moratorium no more sketeboardrs and surfers in cameratests!

No sailboats, skateboards or surfing planed for our sample reels. Can't control what others shoot, but if I see an actor show up on set with a soul patch I might send him back to the 00's. My absolute: No Man-Buns!

This footage is sounding better by the minute. I know information is coming out this week. Could you tell us what day or shall we stay in suspense just a little while longer? :happy:

How about you stay in suspense?

People get on me all the time for "announcing that there will be an announcement." This time around I have not done any such thing, although others have made indications. I can't win here so I'm keeping quiet.
