Its not as if the Omnicam was released and Sirona released a virus to make your Bluecams incapable of functioning. In fact, some would argue that the Bluecam still is the industry standard because the Omnicam hasn't been proven in clinical tests and the real world whereas the Bluecam has performed flawlessly for years. If you decide to wait and not upgrade, guess what- you will still have the second best imaging system in the Bluecam. Or as a consumer, I can say that I quite haven't gotten my moneys worth and instead of spending another 20-40 k on the Omnicam, I'm going to wait. I can either say - hey, the upgrade is worth it to me, The ROI, the bells and whistles, the sheer enjoyment is there and I dont mind paying the extra money. As a consumer, that means that I have some decisions to make. So they would be foolish businesses if they priced the Omincam any cheaper. But here is the thing- with the demand and popularity and the hype of the Omnicam, Sirona and Patterson cant make enough units to satisfy the demand. I know there are some nervous folks out there that have had the Bluecam for anywhere from 3 months to 3 years who are thinking- wow- I have to pay more to upgrade? Let me be perfectly clear- just as I wish my new car, my new house, my new everything everything cost less, I wish the cost to upgrade to the Omnicam was less. Having praised the Omnicam to no end, lets get back to reality. Tarun Agarwal shows the power of the Omnicam and how well it works. The combination gives you virtual models like what you see below. No one has been able to combine streaming capture, full color and powder free.

The Omnicam from Sirona is a major step forward and there is no doubt that anyone using the Omnicam or considering getting into CAD CAM has partnered with the right company in Sirona because they have obviously shown that they are not afraid to innovate and more importantly, they dont follow the trends, they set the trends. The first series of emotions we have already addressed.

Not as vocal but still present are the emotions of 'OMG- I just bought my Bluecam and now I need to upgrade- WTF?' The first is mass euphoria- A color scanner, powder free, streaming capture, color models, - the Omnicam is just awesome. With all the hoopla and hyple about the Omnicam, there are two types of emotions that I see floating around from CEREC users.
