  • What will be the price of this new camera: USD650-800.
  • Will it be available this year: No.
  • Will it be available next year: Very likely. As early as possible next year, unless something goes terribly wrong.
  • What is the financial situation of this project: The R&D costs associated with developing this camera have been sky-high. The mould costs, labour costs, and everything is just very expensive. Basically Mint is risking the whole company to get this project off the ground.
