Nate Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I couldnt believe my eyes i was searching ebay and saw this auction for a like new red epic-m with the monitor and sidehandle and the highest bid is currently 4,250 and its ending in a day? It'll go higher for sure and I dont have the money for it now but mannn... I can't believe the deals you can get on this camera that used to cost like 50,000 dollars! I'm super shocked. Amazing how fast technology devalues things. Here is the link if anyone is interested. https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/231865245670 although now i see the seller has 0 feedback... Maybe too good to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 MX sensor is getting to be pretty old too. Rather have the BMD 4.6K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does make me rather glad I went for the Sony PMW-F3 instead! :-D Not only is it heaps cheaper, I got to have it *NOW* I see the RED Epic M ended up going for US$15K! Waaaaay more than the bidding was at when this thread was started. But that was to be expected. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231865245670 A Sony F5 is *heaps* cheaper than that! Heck, that RED (from a seller with *ZERO* feedback) went for a whole 50% more than what you could buy now an F5 with ease right away. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-PMW-F5-CineAlta-4K-PMW-Series-Professional-HD-Camcorder-3033-/151795865954 You could buy an F5 *and* an FS5 for the same price as that! I know which I'd prefer.... the F5 plus extras :-D With a little digging and patience you could get an F5 even cheaper, such as this one which sold recently:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-PMW-F5-Camcorder-bundle-WITH-LCD-Color-viewfinder-Cards-Card-reader-case-/291691488274 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 8, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 8, 2016 But you get 2 Scarlets or 3 Red One MX for that F5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Nah, I'm going to choose an F3 over a R1 MX nearly every time for my uses :-D And you can get two or three or even four F3 cameras bodies for one R1 MX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 8, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 8, 2016 Its nice but not a fan. Would take the BMPC4K or BMCC over the F3. And you get 2 used BMCCs for one F3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoferman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Those are cool and all but there's just something magical about the gh2 image. And you could get 3 gh2s for the price of a new bmpcc! IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 8, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 8, 2016 Are they made of gold? Same sensor in the gm1, you get three used for the price of a GH2 IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same sensor in the gm1, you get three used for the price of a GH2 Oh, I think, the gm1 has even more mojo imagewise. Martin Walgrens vimeo footage looks beautiful, so does Eoshd´s jase´s (jan s´) footage. Sensor from the GX7 with a beautiful overall image pipline. GM1 for hundred bucks then, Mattias? That would be a crazy deal then! Thinking about getting a GM5 for being my interchangeable lens photophone without the phonepart:) Oh yeah, F3, there was one on Ebay, didnt sell for 1000 Euros, second try it sold for 2300 Euros. Great chance missed, but 950 shooting hours are not to be ignored neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hmmmm... maybe I should look into getting a GM1 next. Any draw backs to be aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
