Helen29 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Here in Italy various dealers told me the camera will be ready to ship on sept. 15th. They are also telling me I'd better order it because if I don't it will take a long time before I get one. Price here is 2999 euro...pretty expensivewhy it is so expensive?

HurtinMinorKey Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 why it is so expensive?It's not expensive. All of its competition is priced >$10K. Black magic does not have any high end products to protect, and/or they aren't involved in any collusive shenanigans with the other major manufacturers; therefore, they can produce a camera that undercuts all of the competition by thousands of dollars. It would be nice if you could actually by one in a store though :blink:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted December 3, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not sure what Helen is questioning (see my next post) but I find that when it comes to pricing a lot of consumers need to get a clue. They'd happily spend 1000 euros on a TV which makes movies look like digital sick, but a mini Alexa artistic tool is 'too expensive' at 3000 euros.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted December 3, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2012 why it is so expensive?I think you mean expensive compared to the price in GBP which is £2200? 2999 euros is a mark up over Blackmagic's official pricing?

QuickHitRecord Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 B&H lists the EF model as "Backordered" but the MFT version is still "Expected availability: December 30 2012". I talked a rep today who has said that there is no indication that they won't be able to stick to that date. Has anyone else heard otherwise?

andy lee Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I was told at at trade show 2 weeks ago not to expect the Mircro 4/3 version until early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
