Not really why it is $30,000.00 It is $30,000 because of R&D and tooling, and other initial costs. It is $30,000.00 for the same reason Blue Ray players were thousands of dollars when they first hit the market... same as any new tech. The price will quickly come down. Eventually the tech will be affordable to most everyone. The mass consumer market is the ultimate target. 10's of millions of people already have video surveillance in their homes and businesses. As the price falls, it will be adopted. My first VCR was a top loading Quasar that cost $465.00 back in 1984. My first color television was a 19" CRT screen and nearly $500.00 also in 1984. The more they sell and the higher the supply they are able to produce... the lower the price will go. That is good news for all of us.

Like others stated, this is meant for high budget productions that need or would benefit from a super low light camera option. People will buy this, but only for live events, documentaries, movies and for scientific studies.
Or there should be a 4K version later on. Normally I rave for 4K, but this is about the right tool for the job. The specific job in this case is an absolute low light monster with large pixels, the performance would drop down to the status of the A7S if it had 4K.

Exactly! They've done amazing stuff with 'starlight cameras' (which are so rare and expensive I think you can only hire them), but those are still black and white. Full colour night time footage? Would/will open up a huge area of documenting and researching nocturnal animal behaviour. Exciting!

Not when you are spending 250 million on a global hawk.
This on law enforcement helicopters filiming car chases in the dark to provide proof for the courts. Has lots of places. Its not for the consumer but hopefully the tech flows down. Never know the 5dmk5 could have iso 4 mil

I feel like the market for this will be people/organizations that already have plenty(probably like 20) of the $11,500 supertelephoto lenses, so in that respect, it's not /that/ expensive if you think about the fact it's cheaper than buying three 600mm F/4 IS II.
And heck! You could buy six of these for the asking price of the 1200mm F/5.6, and I know there was some market for that in the past.
