Someone on a different forum pointed out that the economics for buying equipment to make films is different from that for a full-time photographer.
Photographers use their camera gear all the time, so need to buy their gear - as well as getting backup equipment - so the camera cost is a major factor in what gear they use.
Most film makers don't buy equipment, instead they rent it for a few days to a few weeks at a time, and the equipment cost is usually just a smallish part of the crew, cast, location and production costs - so they can justify renting the best tools for the job, even if the purchase price is quite high.
btw Apparently the Canon 1D C is beginning to ship as well. It's a good time to be a film-maker, except if your name is Kodak.
