Greetings all,
As you guys may be aware there have been some VERY interesting experiments on DVinfo.net concerning home made cinema cameras. The current *general* goals are to create a camera with:
1080x720 (and eventually 1920x1080) images
4:4:4 uncompressed images!
Variable frame rates from 4-60fps
and various other details. For more information see the thread HERE
I've been following the developments there for some time now with great interest. Just recently there have been some VERY sucessful demonstrations by a German filmmaker. His camera, while not perfect, is certainly a step in an amazing new direction. Screw SONY and HDV! Take a look at some of these absolutely amazing clips:
