Oh, I'd love to get one right quickly. However, this isn't a hobby, it is a business decision. And the CFO is one tough tigress to get through. It might take a good share of the year to get approval ... and I'd better get more income from that side of the business or it ain't happnin' even then ... dang it all when they've got 35+ years of dealing with your gear lust! :)

@rNeil You MUST get the camera...or your images will not be up to snuff...lol. Actually I like the idea of shooting 4K as I hear you can crop and still have sharp images. Would be interesting to know if you can shoot 4K, crop video image, but still have final result be converted to 1080 4:2:2 10 bit (or does that have to be chosen at time of shooting?) In order to keep this on-topic!!, I will ask you expert advice for what you like in Premiere Pro and/or Speedgrade in terms of object removal process. Any tips? Editing feature now and I have 3 scenes needing objects removed. 2 of them involve panning by the object, and one was a relatively stable handheld shot with no panning. Thanks
Lol re gear lust...I'm sure you've heard the phrase "gear slut".
@matt_gh2 Gear lust? I've never in my life had gear lust, how dare anyone suggest such a thing! I've only had the wondrous ability to envision just how much better my work ... my always VERY important work! ... would be with certain or particular pieces of equipment (or software) at my disposal. Hence a D3 instead of a D700 ... you can see the wisdom of my approach, certainly! Though the "local CFO" does not always agree ... that's been a 38+ year struggle there. Sigh. Everyone thinks she's so sweet and gentle. Yea, YOU try to get her to agree to spend money she doesn't see the need to spend ... ;-)
Ah, removal of items. Well, theoretically I can understand that ... you will need to mask the item to be removed OR the stuff not to be removed, I think just whichever is easier. You're going to need to key-frame that mask, and that sort of level of key-framing typically gets "booted out" to AfterFx, though I've known of people who've done this in PrPro itself. I'm told by those who make me totally jealous of their skills and knowledge that this is an area that Ae is vastly better/easier at than PrPro.
After you've got a good mask performing appropriately, then you um ... transparentize? ... something ... the stuff to be removed, and on another track place your frames with the stuff that's going to be replacing that part of your image, and somehow tell Ae that the two are layers with the replacing track "behind" the main track.
Again, after that plays well, you can render & export as footage or (in the CC versions) render & then link that over to PrPro. One of the best at doing this I know of would still export the "comp" out of even the CC versions as the same codec as your main program, then import that clip/comp into the PrPro project.
Help at all?

@rNeil Thanks. I figured I would be working with masks and key-framing. Could've sworn I saw a tutorial about a feature called "object removal" but wasn't sure what software it was a part of. It was kind of a one step process where you do quick mask of object and computer handles rest and tracks as well as replace with interpolation of what should be there. I'll Google to seen if I can find it - will let you know if I do.
Best of luck!
