Forget 1080p, we're talking 4k here!!!!

I stumbled across this today. 4k resolution video! Wow!

And only $17k! Not exactly a bad price for this type of kit. Oh, plus you need extra batteries, hard disks, and of course lenses. Maybe $25k or more, but still not bad at all!

New item on my lotto win list!

Whats the point of it, if you have to downsample the output to be able to view it on a normal screen?

Surely you're better off saving £16k and getting an HD camera.

It's not exactly designed for your home cinema. The point is it's designed for large scale cinema screens. Digital film on a large screen still looks very poor. It's still very impressive to design something that can transfer the data reliably and with such high quality from the CCD.

This would change all that and provide movie makers with much higher quality content to work with.

Mind, a lot of people said what's the point of 1080p when DVD was emerging and 1080p was being developed.

well means I don't have to struggle with film grain, weave, scanning the images.. converting etc... it's a tip top bit of kit.
