I'm going to guess this was an inside job. Most thieves don't rip off small lens manufacturers, right?

The Sony FS7 is a very rented item - and it's only about $3k more than the Ursa Mini Pro. They make a lot on low-cost items because people want to rent them fully kitted out and with backup options vs buying one and having it break down without any support.

old school ones - Don't need 8k

This is horrible. Hopefully their security cameras got the people. Yea, not going to be easy to sell.

Yup on ursa mini for some scenes. And Red for I think at this point the long haul of it.

thanks - yup it's me!

Actually I am selling my F65 as well. I'm putting the money into my wife's film I'm shooting. Yes, it's not universal what one person would like vs another person. Rent a bunch, do a test, and get the one that you like the most, and you find the most valuable for your needs.

I bought it new but from Texas Media Systems where there is a 20% restocking fee, so that would tank me like $1000. VS just selling it. And plus , after the initial fiasco of the ursa mini 4.6k sensors, I don't 'think I would buy the pro right away - I would still wait like 3 months for them to "beta test" it. Motion cadence is fine - I'm used to that. Still the BM pocket is silky smooth but but I like the super35mm FOV and I don't have to frankenstein a rig together. The fixed pattern noise is ugly - but this is a $6k camera. The imagery with enough light is a tiny alexa. It has beautiful color and skintones and sharpness. It blows the dirt out of the fs7 image and the c300 ii image. It's all in 6k- well you get a battery mount and top handle and it's like $6500, and boom, you are off. But compare that to the FS7 which - you are forced to shoot everything at 2000 ISO right? And just has that Sony ugly weird orange skintone thingy. The sensor on the one I have has no issues that I can find - haven't seen a magneta cast. I think they solved that. Customer support - for a small company in Australia - you get what you pay for. You basically can buy 2 for the price of one c300 ii. that should solve any in the field tech support issues

I think more and more rental houses will start buying them once we start shooting really beautiful stuff with them and show them to be reliable. I bought the Ursa Mini 4.6k EF - after my stupidity on this forum - and I couldn't be happier.

I was wrong. I was a fool. I bought a Ursa Mini 4.6k EF mount. A week before the Ursa Mini Pro came out. Opps. But, still, this camera is incredible. I was an idiot for criticizing them. And now with the pro, they have delivered an ideal camera - capable of Raw or log for only $6000. That looks like an alexa. That is built well. That is small. That seems to not overheat. A really amazing camera. Blackmagic has done what Red had dreamed of.

I couldn't even get it to install. That's how bad I am at real computing. Plus I think you need a dongle for it - no free version.

Yes, Linux has been around for a very long time - but I mean to simplify it, make it as easy as OS X - if Adobe could release it. If they could see the void that is left in the creative professional world that OS X and Windows do not fulfill. Maybe if they teamed up with HP or Dell, like Avid teamed up with HP.

I wish there was a way that a company could come out of the ashes and build on UNIX in the same way for graphic professionals who need better computers but really like the elegance of OS X, aka UNIX. I know a lot of the bigger dogs use UNIX - but an OS that also was for consumers, like if Adobe made an OS. Or if Adobe teamed up with a UNIX OS that was easy to use - no knowledge of coding. So we could use the latest computers and cheaper computers and not be trapped to Apple's lack of support for their Mac Pro or making the macbook pro use last generation technology. What do you guys think?

I bought my f3 for $12,000. Slog upgrade was $3000. I just sold my last one for $1,500 including tons of batteries and media. Out of every piece of gear, cameras depreciate in value probably the fastest.

I agree Andrew completely, but we have the blackmagic micro cinema camera as you said that does raw already. So it's already there. I guess again Sony and Panasonic and Canon won't release it so it doesn't cannabilize their higher-end cameras. But again, Blackmagic has you covered. Maybe Red would just into the ring and make an even smaller raw camera.

Berlin is amazing! It feels like NYC from like 20 years ago. The people are great there. There is a renewed experience, to make the city something, after everything that went down in the 20th century. It's really something amazing to be apart of. Nice guys on all your comments. SAM, yes, you can have my F65. I will go back to shooting on a t2i

I owned a f3, red one, f35 - don't own any of them now. F3 = lacking in resolution f35 = a lot of noise, in essence, a 400 ASA camera. Having a 800 ASA camera is great Red One - nice 800 asa image - 2 minute boot up time really kills trying to get a shot Digital Bolex - I rate this guy at 200 ASA - even harder to get a good image BMPCC - I like this little guy Canon 1DC - looks cool to me, never used BMCC - nice camera

I saw a film, swore to myself it was shot on 16mm nope it was shot on the red dragon. (Dayveon) Then I thought it was shot on zeiss ultraspeeds. Nope it was Canon K35s, which I think are similar to Canon FD glass. I saw another film, swore to myself it was shot on the alexa, nope it was shot on the c300 mark i (motherland) I was sitting 30 rows in the back, in the front, all over the place. I couldn't tell anything After all that, after everything we do, and say, at the end of the day, none of us can tell.

I wish I didn't have to say this, but I have to. I just can't get into Windows. I hate Apple - I hate their overpriced policy - their attitude, their upper-middle class snootiness. But I can't live anymore without OS X. It just works well. It has less weird mistakes and less moments of "Oh my god, is this computer dead?" And that's the last thing I need in the field - for a computer to not be reliable. I'm not bringing 2 laptops on trips. So farewell to you, Razer Blade and your NVIDIA 4tb 1060 gfx card and 3 usb ports and thunderbolt 3 port. I wish I could have kept you, but I can't.

I bought the cinemorph. I sent it back. I don't remember why.

Still, color is good enough for me still. I mean, a 6 gb nvidia gtx 1060 that is faster than a D500 mac pro gfx card in a portable 4 LB computer sounds pretty great to me.

this magazine says the Razer Blade has better color fidelity than the MBP : http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/razer-blade-vs-macbook-pro

Also seeing the MSI GS63VR STEALTH PRO is cheaper and more ports and more reliable than the Razer Stealth. Going to check it out today.

The FHD version looks like a winner - https://insider.razerzone.com/index.php?threads/razer-blade-2016-as-a-mobile-workstation-for-creative-professionals.17559/ The 6gb graphics card sounds amazing - resolve is blazing fast.

Most of the stuff I've seen shot on dragon - like cough cough - some netflix shows and an unnamed Taylor Swift video- looks like a videogame. I don't know why. Maybe too clinical - too clean - no flaws like film - perfect edge to edge softness is so boring. I like grain and mistakes. The Mark Toia thing looks great - but something about 6k or whatever it is - I can't put my finger on it, but me no likey. So sensor tests be damned!
