New Camera

Jun 24, 2012 2:17 PM

This looks like a promising new handheld.  What do you guys think of a camera with these specs?

 

2592 x 1080 CCD (20mm x 8mm)

5" 1280 x 720 LCoS flip up EVF

12 stops DR

18x T2.8 fixed lens with rings for manual zoom, aperture and focus.

Auto Iris/Focus

Servo Zoom

4 CF card slots for relay or simultaneous recording

Built-in stereo mics.

2 XLR inputs

HD-SDI out

HDMI out

USB3 out

Thunderbolt out

1/8" headphone out

 

Film and Video modes

Film mode records to 12 bit 4:4:4 compressed CinemaDNG RAW files in MXF container

2.5K, 1080 and 720 resolutions.

12, 18, 23.976, 24, 29.97, 30, 36, 48, 60 fps

ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

 

Video mode records AVC-I

1080, 720 and 480 resolutions (576 for PAL)

24p, 30i, 60p fps (25i instead of 30i for PAL)

-6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 dB gain

 

It's supposed to be less than $10,000, but I've never heard of the company making them, and there is no set release date.

 

Opinions?

    Sounds very interesting.

     

    Do they talk about who makes the glass?

    So who actually is the mystery company that you have never heard of and where did you get the specs you quote?

     

    Maybe... the Jim's Fantasy Camera Company?

     

    It would be perfect if the video, audio, metadata etc is all in one file ( stream).

    You know me so well.

     

    Actually, some ordinary folks are using the Kickstarter program to create the new Digital Bolex.  So I got the idea to investigate the possibility of doing the same with the camera I've always wanted.  This is my first step.  Throwing the idea out there and seeing who would be interested in such a camera (assuming it actually existed).

     

    So...who's interested?

     

     

    It would be perfect if the video, audio, metadata etc is all in one file ( stream).

     

     

    Oh, that's a given.
