    • I have one and it really is a good camera when it comes to the image quality. I love the image it makes. It's brought my own filmmaking to another level. It's not a run and gun camera though. More of like using a 16mm film camera. Nothing automatic. Manual everything. The dream of an all-in-one isn't quite true with it though. You need to rig it out with an EVF. (Although I don't have and have never used the shark fin shaped viewer with the mirror so maybe that's okay.)  I used to see them come up on eBay a few times a year but now they rarely do. And people are asking US$11000 with accessories. (I also notice that nobody is bidding on them at that price and the listing ends without any bids, then gets relisted.) I occasionally see them listed for about US$5000 but they don't last long at that price. They're a good camera, worth $5000 but not worth $10000. I think that it's no longer such a unique camera image-wise and you can get a close enough image with a used Alexa or Blackmagic Production camera 4K and be making your movies. (Still if one came up and you could afford it, get it.) If you're handy you could make your own using the same sensor.

    • The canal is not in South America.  It's in Central America which is considered to be part of the North American continent. There's basically no part of South America where a canal would make any sense. As far as oil, I wouldn't be surprised if we decided to take a real interest in Guyana, given the recent coastal oil discoveries there.  Brazil's oil is already more or less in the hands of multinational companies.  For minerals, I'm sort of surprised that we haven't taken a more active interest in Bolivia's lithium reserves, but I suppose that Chile and Argentina have both commercialized their adjacent ones enough to sate our appetites for the time being.
    • I think there are reasons for even video folks to choose the A7V over the FX2. It's interesting, because they could put that A7V sensor into a cine camera body and mark it up $500-800 and have a successful release. Maybe they still will? Still makes the FX2 feel like a weird release that, even if it hadn't received a lukewarm reception, they undermined almost immediately.   Almost feels like one hand doesn't know what the other is doing at Sony. 
    • Are you talking about the US or Venezuela? 🙂
    • By the way the collapse in price of the vintage stuff is extraordinary, you can get an Iscorama close to 500 euros now, almost back to 2010 pre-DSLR video prices
