Yes here's the 2 BNC's on the prototype.

4 SD cards again? Multiple points of failure... the worst of all worlds. You also have to run the footage through some kind of converter, before you use it in any NLE...

Can I say - the worst idea ever? At least these days?

How... Why... Seriously?
Who is in charge of...

Face palm.

Going to check out a friend's Red Scarlet later next month that starts for $15,000 plus lenses. (Cheap lenses fixed focal length start around $3,500 per lens) so this may not be a wildly expensive camera. Hopefully it lands closer to $8k instead of $18k then I think it will sell. But lots of questions, will be interesting to see if it when it makes it to market. I would prefer a Film School Grad camera. Say something similar but 1080p 23.97 super wide dynamic range with little to no CMOS JELLO VISION (Large CCD perhaps?) and Nikon/Canon mounts. Sort of how Blackmagic cameras SHOULD have been. Just a thought JVC marketing employees trolling the forums! :)

Make it well made metal, modular, but don't worry about 4k if that's the hurdle. Rather have nice imaging with 1080p than 4k.

Interesting, but unimpressed. (Unless the real price is substantially less.)

Although I would prefer a lower price, allowing Nikon glass (I have a substantial collection) is appealing. The 4-way RAID recording is a little strange, but so be it as the data rate for 4K is right.

Dude, Nikon glass would work on F5s and F55s with an adapter.

It would be great to allow parallel recording (different formats or not) which case the redundancy provides the best of all worlds. Still, I can't believe camcorders announced today do not offer a 2.5" SSD slot and a higher bit depth intraframe compressed-RAW format. 144 Mbits is roughly 18 MBytes / second.

Sony's AXS recorder is almost that, minus the 2.5'' SSD part... and far more expensive.

Yeah, I'm using a Nanoflash, and it does up to 280 Mbps I-Frame only one CF I. Nanoflash is compact, but obviously, more in-camera compression options.
