Laugh and complain but two things: this product isn't for you and it WILL make this technology cheaper and cheaper, just a few years ago 4K wasn't affordable at all and HDR was non-existent. Thanks to our dumb economic systems, this is how we get prices down. Early adopters, most of whom don't think a few thousand is a big deal (plenty of people, believe it or not, despite how 'frugle' you may be), as well as business and tradeshows actually buy this stuff and lead to your income class finding it affordable.
