24x36mm sensor, the same size as the Canon 5D or Sony A900 DLSRs, but it's a CCD not a crappy CMOS. And even though it is using Bayer pattern (it has to, because it's one sensor only, not 3) I hope it at least has four times the pixels needed for 1080 resolution, no more pixels than that, because the bigger the pixels the better. I don't really know how the Canon 5D is implementing it's 1080 video mode, it has too many pixels, no?
$250,000 is for Studios, indie film makers, and with the market acting the way it's acting, no one is going to invest in this camera unless your a serious SONY ONLY head with lots of loose cash to throw around.
@rahimlevel Studios rarely buy cameras, (perhaps before the 60s) the common practise (for studio, independents, TV, commercials ect...) is to rent a camera on a two day week over the production period, the price will normally be between 3 and 6 thousand per camera per week, with a set of primes and other accessories.
I don't know what to tell you about that. In Sony's litterature, the F35 is aimed at high end digital cinema, and prime time television production, the same demographic RED is targeting. I assume that you are not all that familiar about the RED, as it also does 2K as well. It has been adopted by big names like Peter Jackson, and Steven Soderbergh, so its targeted to big budget films, and Indie filmmakers alike.
I just shake my head and ask myself - does 1/2 stop of dynamic range justify Sony charging $250,000 for something that only does 1/5 the resolution of RED, needs an expensive SRW recorder, while you could buy 5 RED Cams plus a complete set of primes, and have change to spare? With EPIC around the corner, F35 is dead out of the water. Sony's offerings are over-priced and over hyped, and they're losing market share.
resolution is not everything oh yeah and also considering that the consumers wont watch anything in 4k since most theaters digital projectors are 2k i would say sony is still alive and well for now. sure $250,000 is a ridiculous amount of money but it is aimed at a completely different demographic than the red one.
You're exactly right (jaime...), in addition this camera provides is an uncompressed color space (4:4:4) alowing for more control over color when in post. Rphogue is also right about the RED cameras, they provide a near 35mm film RESOLUTION which is great for low budget or fast pased productions who dicide who want affordable quality. It's pratical when they don't need the color space of film, simple color corrections can be applied.
Film will still be strong for another 15 years at most...
Yes, I meant 15 years at LEAST. The perfect example for film still going strong is in The Dark Knight. Film has so much potential, 35mm has about 4-6k capability (given captured with good lens, camera...) and 65mm film with a freakin 16k capability. The highest quality scanners out so far are only 8k, which proves you're right that film has its place, it's the technology that has to catch up. Plus, companies have to buy a new camera every freakin month to stay "up to date" with digital.
