I'm no longer in the market for a camera. When I make movies now I
hire a DP with equipment. As as a camera operator for reality shows
I no longer own. But seeing the new Blackmagic studio camera got
me thinking...
At the end of the last Century I purchased one of the first MiniDV
cameras - the JVC DV500 for around five large - just about eight
large today - and I could get $250 to $400 per day doing ENG and
BTS. Standard Def, 720 X 586, progressive scan.
Today I see the Blackmagic 6K, 6144 X 3456 for $2,500.
Kinda wish I was starting out now...
