Really cool idea, I think they just came a bit late to the show. Hope it gets swappable sensors as well. But I will probably stick with a ursa mini pro.

This is great news!

 

It appears that they have picked a better default sensor than their original choice (CMOSIS 12000), which was the same sensor in BM's 4k cameras.  I would guess that this Kodak sensor avoids the FPN problems inherent in the CMOSIS sensor.

Apertus has been making raw, open source cameras for around a decade.

If anyone can do it, the Apertus people can.  However, I don't think that it can work that simply -- there has to be electronics/processing specific to each sensor.  So, at minimum, it would be a swappable sensor/electronics module (which would essentially be the entire camera, minus the recorder).

Too bad the BM ASP-C/Super35 cameras lack an MFT mount.  The MFT mount on the ASP-C Axiom makes it very versatile.
