Will Sony put out a low budget CineAlta camera?

24p for reality tv is a gimmic, for narrative it is required.

No. Next question.

Hey, I was just wondering. Will Sony put out a low budget CineAlta?

 

[Dremmwel]

I guess that would be a no Tibby, but ask someone else, who knows?

 

[Zig_Zigman]

Well hey they might..check back tomorrow and let's round-table it!

Saw this on another thread...I wonder what else this camera might do. 24p Maybe?

And before someone starts screaming "Sony will never put out a low budget Cinealta". To reiterate..I wasn't originally speculating about a Cinealta in the first place, just a 24p HD prosumer level camera from Sony.

Its not what it will do that is the problem, its what it gonna cost.

Depends on what you define as the "prosumer" price point. The XDCAM HD camera being mentioned there is a 1/2" CCD system, and while I don't think any details are known about it yet, I'd be surprised if it was less than $20,000. The cheapest XDCAM camera out right now costs $20,000, and that's for DVCAM only, not HD.

And, I'd be shocked and flabbergasted (yes, both!) if it includes HD24P.

But, theoretically it's due to be unveiled in just a few weeks, so we'll know soon enough!

I'm with Barry on that...doesn't sound like a prosumer camera to me.

The specs on the HD XDCAM are nice. Though I am puzzled by the 1/2" ccd decision. As a result it isn't exactly a good upgrade path from the current XD. I don't believe that this will be the only HD XDCAM forthcoming however.

There are some other specs for this camera, but I can't tell you what they are just yet due to restrictions.

Simon,

Is this a 20k cam or a 10k cam?
