Something SCHWEET This Way Comes...




 WOOOEEEW.

Tomorrow I might get my first ever look at a UHD (larger than 1080) camera. Win! Above is Silicon Imaging's SI 2K and it appears to be fairly cool. It's prog scan and even has an optical viewfinder. It also fits standard 35mm film lenses apparently, which is always a good thing.

Just to clarify:

It probably isn't better than a Red One.

However, It does shoot 2K (half Red) which is what most digital screens in cinemas project anyway as far as I'm aware. But the feature I've been doing running for has just hired one in for Sunday.. which suggests it's better than the F900 Cinealta they were using before (I think) ...at something. Perhaps better in low light conditions, although Sony have always been awesome at that. Maybe they just need it so they can crop it in post because there's gunna be like 60 extras who could potentially fail the shot for them.

So yeah - I'll try get a photo to blog up here of the actual camera.

Hmm... intriguing.
