Oron Cohen Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) It's good that more small size 4K cameras are out there. I personally don't like the Panasonic look, it's all look to me like the old DVX100 look with a super35 depth of field and more resolution, very video like, I know it's subjective, but at this price point for people that rent cameras, I can hardly see this camera go out on jobs, as you could hire an EPIC Dragon or Arri Amira/Alexa Classic for the same price or less not to Mention C300 Mark II or Sony F5/F55. It will appeal to people that REALLY like the Panasonic look, I'm sure there are a few, but in most of the world it's hard to see this sell. For an owner/operator that wants to buy, it might make more sense, if he was considering buying something like F55, but even then, you can get a Scarlet-W full package including media and v-lock batteries for the same price or get the Sony F5+Sony A7sII deal or C300 mark II and save almost 10K. Would be interesting to hear what people are thinking about those varicam here? Edited February 11, 2016 by Oron Cohen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted February 11, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2016 would be nice for low light work. otherwise there is lots of competition from other manufacturers, especially at that price point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I gather the viewfinder is very good. Odyssey 7 is to support the Varicam LT http://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/3237-odyssey-7q-to-support-varicam-lt-v-raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
