What is the weight of the camera? Does it use a CCD or CMOS? If CMOS does it have the aliasing problems associated with that?

I don’t think anyone knew how big the DSLR revolution was going to get — Canon’s added movie mode was originally designed to appease photographers who wanted to also shoot some video for, example, a newspaper’s website. But with movie-capable DSLRs selling like hotcakes and so many great DSLR videos out there, it became clear that independent filmmakers were a sizable market.

RED’s Scarlet is stil unreleased, and they announced a very similar product to this Panasonic a year and a half ago. These things take time.

The 4/3 chip is not as big as a full-frame sensor — which is itself significantly larger than 35mm motion picture film — but it is still EIGHT times larger than a 1/3″ chip. This is still very capable of the shallow DOF many guerrilla cinematographers are after — see the video embedded here, the GH1 has a Micro 4/3 sensor:

Wonderful but the 4/3′s chip? The whole point of the DSLR is the BIG chip. Isn’t it?
