“If you move up to a Super 35mm sensor, you’re going to have to compromise somewhere in image quality”

That is not true. The photosites on a larger chip of similar or even higher resolution are larger and gather more light, with less noise in the result. That’s why tiny-chipped P&S cameras offer such shitty image quality.

Good luck with bringing that “american” lawsuit to China dude.

That, and like I said before, their stand on the IBC was at least as big as all the major players.
Bigger than RED for sure!

Why would they spend so much money to have an impressive stand at a professional video trade show, if they weren’t up to something bigger than just a 400 bucks action camera? It wouldn’t make a lot of sense, I think.

Yeah and Red Bull was just some sugary soda from Austria and look where they are today.
As far as I know, RED was being started with money from the guy who owns the Oakley sunglasses brand.

All it needs is some capital and good ideas. GoPro seems to be making good money with their little crash cameras, and they seem to want to be in the professional market, so let’s see…

Well, if you saw GoPro’s stand at the IBC last year, you certainly noticed it was huge. They had like half an exhibition hall. Pretty impressive for a company that makes just one little crash camera – and I guess it means they mean serious business in the professional video segment.
So GoPro going all in with maybe 4K, 6K, high speed cameras – it is totally possible! Maybe they’ll give us a Phantom-killer for 10K next year! ;)

Do they really have to copy the RED design that blatantly?

I mean this is not some smartphone for teenagers, the looks of the camera aren’t really that important – then why risk a lawsuit by RED?

No one will buy this after BMCC starts shipping, why would they for 3000 dollars more and still less resolution…. they need to make it 4K for 4K to compete. Then we are talking.

Mike.
GoPro did NOT make CineForm, they bought it ;)

Well I guess it is out of the question in your brain that a company that made the Cineform RAW can come up with a interchangeable lens camera, no one said it will be a tiny little POV camera. Good luck living in the past John and Hansd.
