Come on guys you need to be more technological, the rest of the article is there..... you just need to get you pair of 3D glasses from the next Cyber Monday sale with the invisible ink/font reader embedded core series and Voila!!! You'll be able to read it......

$58,000 X 30 = $1,740,000.

For reference, Avatar's budget according to Wikipedia was $237,000,000.

can't they just for once forgo the CGI/3D and just make a movie the old fashion way. This 3D crap is useless eye candy that only small children and the impotent appreciate it. It cheapens the movie and shows lack of creativity and only serves as a filler to make up for the lack of content and plot today's movies are showing. Has every one forgotten how a film should be...............

You mean silent and in black/white? Color is useless eye candy, and audio (let alone surround sound) is useless ear candy.

Seriously, I definitely respect the camera's quality and pricing but 1.5mil for some equipment sounds about right to me.
