Vieuw on XD cam

I like the look of RED, and I'm 90% certain I'll buy one and make my next feature using it.

Although premember that the $17k price tag doesn't include a lens or recording device. However it is still an amazing price. Lets hope it really does live up to the hype.
 
It's ~ 25-30.000 ,- with 2 lenses. My only problem with the RED is that it is overdesigned if the final design going to be the same as the picture on the startpage. Otherwise everything looks very good. 2k, 4k.. everything.

The $17K price tag of the "lower" XDCAM HD doesn't include a lens either, though, does it?
Häak, for $17k it's the L (without lens) version.

The PDW-F330K (with the Canon's stock AF lens) it's $20,000 - $22,000.

That's pretty much what I thought. So for near the same price, you can get a Red with a lens and at least one kind of storage magazine. Of course, the XDCAM is out now and Red isn't... but in a year all of these other cameras are going to be completely obsoleted. I don't think it's a very good time to be investing in the current sub-20K HD cams.

Yup -- wise words!
