Does anyone know if there has been a fundamental shift in companies buying vs. renting cameras in the past couple years? In motion picture industry? television industry?
And why the camera companies have been more competitive in pricing in the last couple of years (since I heard Arri has been pricing pretty low lately)? .....is Arri starting to penetrate into the film schools more so pricing their cameras lower to become more entrenched in how many people use their cameras? or is it Panavision is still dominating for the most part and pricing lower to ensure Arri or any others gain traction? or both? and would that apply to both the motion picture industry and tv industry?
It would be nice for most of us unseasoned people to have a couple of these answers for the motion picture, television, etc. industries so we can have a better idea on our future budgeting (ok, maybe WAY future budgeting) and what industry we would rather lean toward.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
