Digital Bolex ble lansert på SXSW i går:

 

 

The New Digital Bolex

 

 

Once upon a time, motion picture cameras that created high-quality images were affordable for all filmmakers on any budget. Consumer 8mm and 16mm cameras like the original Bolex shot footage that could be projected on any movie theater screen.

In today’s digital market, ‘affordable’ and ‘consumer’ have become synonymous with ‘low-quality’ — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Introducing the Digital Bolex D16, the first digital cinema camera to shoot RAW at a price anyone can afford.

Kjenner at jeg nesten er mer gira på denne enn Canon og Nikons nyeste! Kan være bivirkninger av litt for mye leking med RAW->TIFF->ProRes-workflow for timelapses though... Høyoppløselig RAW-video er artig!

 

Prosjektet er på Kickstarter - og er allerede nesten tredobbelt funda med 100 kamera forhåndssolgt:
