I'm on my 4th year with the same Sony unit, still shoots great 1080p video. The market is swamped.

Maybe I'll get a 4k camera at some point, but I'll have to upgrade all my other electronics.

Right they are getting out of the drone market, but downsizing to get financials in order. I believe they saturated the market with their own product and won't sell as many moving forward.

They are trying to sell the business.

I greatly prefer tape based systems, HD BETACAM is the way to go.
