    I would almost bet on this being 1k. Most camera Pricing hasnt made sense to me for quite awhile though. If they want to round up some of the film maker types, this has to be considerbly less than bmpcc. Nikon Z6 body is easy enough to get for 1500.. so 1500 would be silly. I do think the primary goal with this surprise release i to disrupt Nikon z6 sales with relatively cheap alternative. Regardless, I like it, but Z6 is likely my next camera .

    With all the 'Dedicated accessories', they should make the body cheap, to get people to buy into the 'modular system'. My guess is, it has to be less than $1500, maybe even $1200 to start. As I've said before, it won't be long before we see a sub $1000 full frame mirrorless and this Sigma thingy might be kicking off a product war.

    Personally I think we are going to see sub 1k... Even sub 700 prices on these little bodies... Maybe initial 1k price, then drop in 6 months. Its the right way to do it imho. Sell a very capable body which anyone coming from smart phones can use, never charge for internal upgrades, just charge for external upgrades. If you buy the FP and are serious about film, an external monitor and other goodies will be necessary. If you just want better photos and video than your phone can provide, but cant see spending 1k for a camera as a priority, these little yi m1 / zcam offerings from the big companies will get you in the door and prime you for future purchases. Much, smarter and more reasonable than paid firmware upgrades.. cough cough... Panasonic... Cough... I think the slightly troublesome $300 Yi M1 gave us a glimpse of the real price point most moving from phones consider reasonable.. still a viable option for many.

    rumors are sony will release 4 cameras before sept. I bet one will be the same formfactor ff emount at a fraction of what sigma will price the FP. It might even have a popup vf aka rx100 and lots better af. It's just a guess. Around 1200 US would be a market sweep.

    Finally a modular mirrorless! Contrast AF is sad, but considering the cine marketing of this camera, not a deal breaker for anyone serious about cine style, ie manual lenses. If the price is right (thinking very low), this will fill a much needed gap between hobby prosumers on a budget, and wanna be professionals prosumers that pay three times as much as prosumers less than a decade ago. Personally I think this is really the GH6 water tester. GH6 lite, or GH2.1 if you will.

    The camera can record 12-bit CinemaDNG 4K video at 24 fps, including directly to an SSD external recorder. In this mode, the camera offers an impressive 12.5 stops of dynamic range. The fp's inclusion of its director's viewfinder mode, ATOMOS open protocol support, shutter angle display, zebra patterns and waveform display shows a high level of commitment to the camera's cinematic use cases.

    Grate camera, Grate idea, grate design. Same sony sensor as nikon and panafriend uses.

    Cinema DNG is big files. What i dont undetstand is why not support for higher frame rates and bad h264 flavor 422 8 hit hdmi output and low frame rates is not what modern standards are.

    Seems this is an agreement camera between brands. too many Issues when sensor can give much more thats a pitty.
