Are you guys renting the cameras or what's the deal?

We are not renting cameras directly, but there are some rental houses on our list of pre-orders to be part of the first production run of cameras. The SI-2K will be released at the end of June/beginning of July, and is currently in the begining stages of production (i.e., we are starting up our first production run/assembly of cameras for the June/July delivery date). So things are right on target.

You can contact Steve Nordhauser for information on where to rent a camera once they have been delivered. His number is (518) 279-9098.

The AtomicVFX guys are behind "Discreet", so they are using the same cameras they purchased from us last year (that is the first prototypes we had at NAB last year that they used to shoot "Spoon") . . . so their cameras are still working :)

They have not received any of the new camera systems from P+S Technik that will be a part of the first commerically availabe production run in late June/early July.

I'd like to know also. I Prefer the Adobe workflow with Premiere Pro to Final Cut any day. I've used both for just about every format.

I'm guessing this guy has never used PPro2 before or just doesn't know any better.
