Canon Introduces the DP-V3010 4K Monitor
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I shoot weddings and it seems that nearly every wedding videographer is now using Canon. I usually see one or two videographers with several Canon DSLRs and a bag full of Canon lenses (and perhaps a few Zeiss). In the past, all of these videographers would have been using Panasonic or Sony video cameras. Lenses like the 70-200/2.8L are extremely popular among videographers. As far as I can tell, Canon has sold a heck of a lot of cameras and lenses by adding video to their EOS system.Lichtgestalt said:
This monitor is a high-end tool for specialists and is priced accordingly. Apparently there is a market for such thing.

You guys are overreacting a little bit -- this looks like a great product for film production/editing companies working on big-budget television shows and movies... Not sure how many of them are on CR though.
Here, this is a smart answer to your over-reacting comment. I don't believe you fall into this category to be bashing at people 'casual' comment

Yet again more good news for the pro video guys. Last announcement was for dual pixel in the C100. I'm beginning to think photography is just a side business for Canon now. That would be a shame if they just forgot about us! Accounting and marketing divisions are running the show, I guess. Oh well!

How to say this without being a total DBag…? I work in TV and I always love it when "normal" people are exposed to our production gear and it's cost and they flip out like this is a piece of consumer gear being sold at Best Buy. It's not. And it's not aimed at 99.9999% of the people reading this forum. I'm sure it was posted for informational purposes. Some people find this type of stuff interesting even if it's not something they would ever have the need for.
Consumer 4K sets are already out and are starting to approach Earthly prices and will be affordable very soon. This monitor is for use in a production environment, not to play video games on or watch Jerry Springer in your living room. Production gear is designed to be reliable, accurate and used day-in and day-out in very tough and demanding situations without faltering. Part of the high costs are the tolerances/specs for performance that it must meet and the very low numbers that these types of things are manufactured and sold in. The $400 camcorder at Best Buy is manufactured on a largely automated assembly line and probably sold in the millions of units, whereas something like a $40K VariCam has a few hundred or maybe a few thousand copies out in the world. Hell, I have a 9" HD field monitor that cost all most as much as the 92" set in my den. Yes they are both HD monitors, but it goes much deeper than that. To quote someone on here, "Horses for courses".

Just to Echo RunAndGun, I was chatting with a national TV journalist ("1 guy does it all" team) from my home country and he brought over a C100, 24-70 II, 70-200 2.8 IS II and another lens I forget instead of the standard gear for his shoot in China.
When I asked him why, his answer was "just in case it's seized at customs, I can just forget about it, go and buy a new one"
Remember a "cheap" show like Mythbusters uses 5D2 as disposable cameras...

Aww crap! 
They had to announce this just after I went ahead and decided to buy this

My bank will go nuts processing that USD$9,525,930,932,505,110.00 refund from amazon. Bummer.

Yeah it's all in the perspective. Hah, I known some major motion pictures loved the Canon DSLRs because they nobody would care if they got blown up, burned up, soaked, etc. so long as it wasn't too much for the CF card it was cool.

In that case I predict the next announcement from Canon will be that they have formed a partnership with Nintendo. ;D

Dear Canon.
You are totally stupid. You do not know how to run a company. You do not do any research on product needs and costings. You just make products that CR members do not like.
You do not bother about the post production houses who can afford and need 4k resolution monitors for their Digital Intermediate coloring work or to check their high end compositing/graphics work.
Stupid stupid stupid.

I cannot believe the dumb a55 comments about this monitor's price ... this monitor is not for the vast majority of hobbyist photographers or even most of the professional photographers ... there are lots of production houses, ad agencies and similar companies that need these kind of monitors ... Canon knows more about making money than you ... that's why you are just a consumer and Canon is a profit making company ... Canon does not have to make products only for the "regular" consumer market.
For all those who are questioning why Canon made this "expensive" monitor instead of a full frame mirror less or retro style camera here is some news - Canon does not make products to lose money just because a few blokes are cribbing about it on CR ... read this:
http://nikonrumors.com/2013/11/07/nikon-df-demand-not-as-strong-as-the-d800.aspx/
"I received some unofficial information from different retailers and based on the number of pre-orders, it seems that the demand for the Df is not even close to the demand for the Nikon D800 when it was officially announced. The Df is currently not even in the top 20 best selling DSLRs on Amazon (D610 is on #14). I am still questioning Nikon's strategy since they first cut their forecast three months ago because of poor mirrorless sales in US and Europe. At that time Nikon said that they will concentrate on new entry level DSLR cameras. Three months later Nikon introduces the high-end $3,000 Df camera, which was perceived as a great but overprices product. Few days after the Df announcement, Nikon cut their sales forecast for high-end cameras..."
The Sony FF mirrorless cameras aren't "disappearing off the shelves" either.
