well the average betacam pack costs about 30000€ to buy, the combo of the cameras lucas used for phantom menace is arround 137500 €... so you can say that if it works its cheap and worth it . iron post the link so i can take a look plz... im wondering what on earth it does exactly... The resolution of the xl1 was DVD on 4:3 mode... so i guess they will use DVPro or something in that line... but then i wasnt able to spot resolution artifacts on that train scene from "Dancing in the dark" which was made with 100 or so Panasonic DVs of 2000€ each... with no interchangeable optics... so... i still think that is mainly post trikery and magic) well rage, shit happens
