F-23 camcorder

[Jan Von krogh]

yeah, you can shoot higher framerates it seems. however, i suppose with the introduction of the red camera, it seems logical that the F23 will find very limited use in cinematography.

i own & operate a full hdcam workflow (lenses, camera, vtr, monitors, nles, vector/wave) so i am far for from being anti-hdcam/sr, however i can

How Much are these cameras going for?

At the moment the price for the F-23 camera head has not been announced, BUT, the SRW1 HD Portable Digital Recorder has a list price of USD $52500 in the United States.

OK, so maybe Sony was not to precise when they wrote “The Worlds Only recorder capable of RGB4:4:4 1080/60P recording.” They probably should have written:

“The Worlds Only 12v(60W), lightweight(5.9Kg/13lb), recorder capable of RGB 4:4:4 full 1080 x 1920 /1P to 60P fps / 2:1 compression (25 minutes per tape) / 10-bit linear recording plus motion software that mimics the Arriflex speed change ramp software.”

“All that plus a bag of potato Chips…, uh I meant Sony chips”

Paul,

The SRW/SRPC-1 are two piece required for a standalone portable vtr solution.

Together they are closer to 100K in the US.

Currently the SRW1 works alone with the Panavision Genesis camera whereas other camera heads require the SRPC-1 processing unit along with the SRW-1 recorder as a combo unit.

Hi Tony,

You are correct. The SRW-1 recorder requires that the SRPC-1 HD video processor be attached to the SRW-1 when used with non Sony F-23 / Panavision Genesis camera heads.
