Apertus Axiom Beta: World's First 4K Open Source Cinema Camera is Now Crowdfunding
8 years ago
The people who are saying, "by the time this comes out it could be outdated" are misunderstanding the whole concept behind this project. You aren't buying a camera with set features and functions, it is modular and open source both in hardware and in software. Whatever features the hardware are capable of will be unlocked, and if you need to upgrade the hardware at some point you can just pay to upgrade the necessary components rather than forking out another several grand to buy an equivalent or slightly better camera. Instead of worrying about it being outdated we should just help people get excited about contributing and in the end we will end up a camera system that just keeps improving itself. :)
