Wow that sounds like a super machine and very tempting! I don't think I'll be upgrading though - I love my cameo 3 and for what I use it for it's more than adequate. I'll be very interested to see how it all goes though.
Don't think I'll be upgrading. I'm still using (I use that word loosely) the original Cameo
Thanks Shirley and Doreen. Sounds interesting but not looking to upgrade at the moment.
thank you for the info x
Thanks Doreen, I guess the new super machines will be aimed at people using their machines for business. I won't be upgrading, the Cameo 3 does all I need and more. Exciting developments though for those interested.

I have a Cameo 2 at the minute so could be tempted a bit later down the line. I don't have the room for a larger machine so it would only be the basic one, but I do like the idea of cutting thicker materials.
The upgrades sound super. I doubt I will buy until they are done with all the fixes to the basic program. I got so tired of all their upgrades locking my PC up. I wish they had invested more in their programs up front.
I'm happy with my Portrait but they sound like great machines.
My portrait meets my needs for now too
