Maxx 1 #1 January 22, 2014 Hey everyone, This article is already 2 months old: http://cinescopophilia.com/cmosis-its-4k-12-megapixel300-fps-cmos-image-sensor-cmv12000/ but it talks about a new CMOSIS 4k sensor, which could fit in Blackmagic sized camera. So if anyone had an eye on the Blackmagic and can wait a little bit more, say June 2014, then wait a little bit more.. I'm sure there will be more and more competitors in the 4k range, it's just getting started. Really looking forward to it (and how we can streamline the postproduction workflow for our skydiving needs ;)). Cheers, Max Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiLFy 3 #2 January 26, 2014 Sounds wonderful...& wonderfully expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #3 January 26, 2014 Expensive is a matter of relevance. To those paying $30,000 for a full on 4K rig, it's pennies compared to the nearly 250K I shelled out for HD a decade ago. 4K at 300fps will be here sooner than later, and will be under 50K$.

PiLFy 3 #4 January 26, 2014 [I]Only a little under $50,000 ?? Wow. Even worse than I thought. Might be an improvement in pricing of new tech, vs years ago. That's still well out of reach for most. Let us know when Sony slaps one of those new sensors in their Action Cams... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FB1609 0 #5 January 26, 2014 Sounds great but yeah, get it under 5k and maybe. As you know, technological devices are the worst investments as they become obsolete so quickly. My old F3 body was worth $700 for 20 years. Made 10s of thousands of dollars with it, I hate the my Digital stuff becomes basically worthless. I put all my money in lenses and stuff instead.

PiLFy 3 #6 January 26, 2014 My whole rig didn't cost me anywhere near $5K ... I'll stick w/my GoPro, & leave the caviar to the big dawgs. It'll be awesome when it filters down to my level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 0 #7 January 28, 2014 This is great news. Like DSE said it is a matter of relevance. And to assume that it will be in the $50,000 range for very long is ridiculous. The evolving digital age is amazing. We are going to see these at a consumer price (under 10k) within a couple years. I'd bet you anything. It may not be for the people who want to call a GoPro set up a "camera helmet". But for majority of the industry concerned with quality and professionalism this is defiantly the future of outside video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
