The Viper is a top, top, top-end digital cinematography camera. What I find delightful about it is that it has a solid-state portable recording magazine that stores 10 minutes of footage to solid-state memory. Kind of like a P2 card on an HVX.

Cost: $54,000. For just that magazine.

Shoot, they're small, I'll take two! :grin:
 
What? Only ten minutes of storage to solid state memory? That'll never catch on. Ridiculous! :thumbsup:

That makes the current price of P2 cards seem like a steal.
 
That's what Isaac and I were hinting at. It's basically a P2 card, but for the Viper. Now, to be fair, it's storing 4:4:4 uncompressed HD so it's a super-turbo-ultimate-mega P2 card; but the workflow is the same! :)
 
hvpz, I think you're confusing the two cameras. The Viper doesn't allow REV PRO, that's the Infinity, a much less expensive camera.
 
You're right Barry. I confused and mixed the two systems. Sorry for the bullshit.

May be it's the HVX200 P2 bundle for Europe makes me read in this particular way !

So the work flow is the same. Of course, changing the oil on a $300K Ferrari and changing the oil on my two tone (white and rust) 1985 Chevy Corsica is the same. When I need an attitude check, you are always there Barry. Thank you.
 
<satire>That's stupid, why wouldn't they also have a tape drive. I can't possibly work with just a 10 minute window. I think if they ever hope to make any sales they'll have to redesign and include a tape drive that records the full uncompressed signal.</satire> :evil:
