Let's do group buy and see what we can do.
Mitch ?
Folks like Abel don't do group buys on things this in demand. And have minimum sales prices from manu.
Remember, there's a list pretty deep Abel is administering for both cameras.
Sorry to be a buzzkill. There's a few items retailers aren't budging on these days. New PL mount lenses are another.

When demand outstrips supply there's no incentive for retailers to cut prices. Simple economics.

That would have to be some group buy list ...
We also have contractual obligations, plus we have to keep the lights on here.
But there are always bits & pieces that any camera kit needs and we're hard at work on cool toys, plus ways to help you afford them.

Well I had nothing else constructive to post, so just thought I'd add some FLARE to the thread! :happy:

The "global shutter" on the F55 is interesting. Seems like digital "still" cameras have been moving higher and higher in terms of stills per second. Once they hit 24 stills per second, isn't that a "global shutter" in the cinema world?

Without question I'm sold on the F5 and RAW recorder, since RAW is all I ever wanted.
The question now is who here will spend the extra $15k for global shutter, 4k internal rec., and a CFA with extended color gamuts exceeding that of film?

Isn't there something about OLEDS having a short life span? Pretty inconvinient for such an expensive unit.

Don't know about the state of OLED tech today, but they did used to have color components that aged differently, like early CRTs. This is why the first OLEDs went into production on phones, most people don't keep them for more than a couple years anyway.
The short-term benefit, in any case, is very rich colors, perfect blacks, and 0ms response time compared to LCD.

The PVM OLED monitor panels are rated at 15,000 hours if operated 24 hours a day, and 25,000 hours if operated 16 hours a day. These numbers are from Sony. I own one, I stashed the figures when I found them.
I realize this might not mean anything for the OLED EVF, but I think it's encouraging.
I only seem to put 300 hours/year on a camera at most, when I'm screaming busy as an owner/op, so I'm not too worried.
