At 20K it's in a class of one once it has dual link output, until then - the question is why bother?
My wish list for a 20K camera would be DCI2K (2048x1080) + RAW + PL mount.. everything I am doing currently is finishing DCI, HD is so last year [rolls eyes like a valley girl]....
What they offer is HD + 709 -or- S-Log + PL mount + Dual Link...so part way there; S-Log is wide gammut, fits into DCI colorspace, that's good... PL is good, resoultion capped at HD not so much, no RAW seems , well so very 2006....
I think they may have given Panicsonic an open playing field for the Indie filmakers though, they seem pretty under impressed.
Studio Daily reports:
The F3 is scheduled to ship in February 2011 at $16,000 for the body only or at $23,000 for a kit that includes three Sony-branded T2.0 PL-mount prime lenses at 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. Sony is formally introducing it with film-school-oriented launch events this month at USC in Los Angeles and next month at NYU in New York City.
FXGuide takes a look at the camera and writes:
Who should buy one?
Documentarians especially those doing interviews, - and who want outstanding image quality, far less restricted running times, no overheating problems and who perhaps grew up on the P2 form factor and need audio handled on camera.
