NOKIA OZO: USD45,000 Pro VR cam
Nokia has seen better days as one of the telegiants and seems to be trying to reinvent itself by going into the VR camera market that is booming in China. The camera originally sold for $60,000, with the company offering $15,000 discounts to individuals and early adopters. That discounted rate is now the retail price of the OZO at $45,000 in the US (€40,000 in Europe), with equivalent pricing expected for the China launch. The OZO is expected to go on sale in China in September of this year. The Ozo is currently available in the US and Europe. Disney recently announced that it would be using Ozo cameras for many of its 360-degree VR initiatives. The Ozo is marketed as a professional production tool similar to the Arri Alexa or RED’s line of cameras, and sees professional camera rental houses as potentially a big market for itself.
