How Long Until Vegas Edits 2000p?

When will 35mm digital cine cameras or near-35mm digital movie cameras like Sony's F23 be available to us, I.E. prosumer price point, (DOF adapters will be history right?) and a Vegas to edit it? A 2400p?

We just ordered a 2K camera, cost is "prosummer" compared to F23 / Genesis etc. Lenses are as expensive as ever, a set of top shelf primes are 5x the cost of the camera. Vegas can handle the 2K but not the 10bit log part of the data.

To translate, a box of Cooke S4 prime lenses is US$110,000 + tax.

Zoom? Canon has a nice 2/3" lens for US$182,000 + tax, but if you plead nicely, they may throw in a free lens cap for that price... :O)

The only hope in this area is with Red. They have announced some very different prices (a few grand per prime and not much more for a zoom), and if everything works it will be quite a revelation/revolution/whatever.

If you want 35mm glass P&S Techniks are rehousing Nikon F glass in a cine housing at $2K per lens.
While the Cooke lenses are expensive they're relatively vey cheap to rent. Unless you manage to drop one unlike most of the current crop of cameras they don't have a 'use by date' so a rental house has much longer to recoup their investment.

I saw a guy the other day who had removed his FX1 lenses and added a Nikon F mount. If you then add three more 2/3" sensors you have a 35mm digital camera. Why cant this be done for ten grand? Is it the data flow capture problems?
