Pricing
IDT (the distributor) does not provide pricing information publicly any more, but last time they did was in 2010 and this camera was priced at $30,000 at that time. See the "base price" tab on this page:

This exact model is no longer available from IDT.
Lens mount
The camera takes C-mount lenses, but I will provide a C-mount to Canon EF lens converter and C-mount to Nikon converter so you can use Canon EF, EF-S, or Nikkor DSLR lenses with it. If you will use C-mount lenses make sure they are 1" format because the sensor is quite large and smaller-format lenses can cause vignetting. You can also use other types of lenses as long as there is a C-mount adapter for that type. The 35mm cropping factor of the sensor is roughly 2x, so a 50mm lens will look more like 100mm, etc. The sensor size is 15.4 x 12.3mm.
Workflow
Please see this video for an overview of the workflow to use this camera. It is not a normal consumer camera. Before I ever considered selling the camera I made this video to highlight the amount of work I put into my youtube videos, it so it is 100% honest.

Here's a manual for how to use the Motion Studio software that controls the camera: http://idtvision.com/documents/mstudi...
It's not as complicated as it looks and you don't even need to worry about most of the stuff the software does. Motion Studio is available for Windows or Mac.
Batteries with 4-pin XLR connections
