6K camera for $3995 USD? (Z CAM E2 6K )

And that's just for the camera body. What about the cost of lenses, storage, power, and monitor. Those items do not come free.

And a computer to handle it.

And then you can sell your 6K video for $129 a clip. It's cool that technology is marching on ... I'm glad I don't have the least interest in the higher than 4K resolution stuff.

If the NAB is any indication, there's lots of work on building affordable 8K cameras and components. Blackmagic Design announced several new products that work with 8K video (although no 8K cameras). And the latest version of Blackmagic's popular (and free) DaVinci Resolve editing software will work with 8K files. Sony, Ikegami and Hitachi all showed 8K cameras, mostly for high-end television/sports production. Several more companies showed 8K displays. NHK, the national TV network in Japan, has said that it will shoot the 2020 Olympics in 8K, and there is a Japanese 8K direct-to-home satellite service.

So 6K may just be a stopping point on the way to 8K.

8K obviously is not gonna be a common distribution format for a long long time, I mean, we're stuck at HD and even that's compressed to death by the cable services. But 8K for acquisition, and for the ability to crop, pan and zoom the frame could be tempting.
