Service of Equipment

[Ernesto Lomeli]

Hello all,
I have a quick question about our favorite camera system.

What are the servicing plans for this camera?
Will there me a shop manual available by release time?
Will there be spare parts readily available?

The reason I ask is two fold, some of us will be using the
camera just like any other camera in a fast paced production
environment. Which isnt always ideal for the gear (it gets abused sometimes)
not on purpose but it does happen. Such as broken connectors, knobs...ect...
What about the lens mount and its tollerences will there be specs given out.


What about rental houses will they be provided a Service manual
and some diagnostic software to make sure everything is on the up and
up before sending the camera off again on another gig?


Im and just curious and this has been on the back of my mind for some time.
but now that the release time is coming closer and some of us are investing and or taking out loans for this equipment, i consider it a valid question.


Thanks and i'll see you all at NAB,
