"While the initial batch of $17,000 pre-orders are long gone"

who would honestly pay $17,000 for a camcorder?

This is for professional production, at a higher resolution than HD. At that level, $17K is considered a bargain, which is why the camera has been getting so much press.

Cameras of this quality generally cost into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are not meant for consumers.

I may be mistaken, but I think they already released some video from it. Although that could have just been in private, or maybe I'm just wrong. If someone else could clarify that would be great.

What Jim is doing is building a professional cinema camera out of passion, and selling it at a price more affordable to mortal men. There is nothing to laugh at or mock here.
