Hi Guys, This is Joe Rubinstein one of the partners in the Digital Bolex Project. You are right we did an initial sensor test to make sure that the Kodak chip was the right choice. For this sensor test we modified a GX to have our sensor and processing unit. We loved the images from the sensor so much that we decided to make a short film using it while waiting for the next prototype to come. The current Prototype looks like this...

We aren't trying to re-invent the wheel here. 2K tech is not new or really that cutting edge. The thing that is new is we are willing to give people what they want. A simple camera at a very reasonable price. DCP worthy footage in anyone's hand for around the same price as a DSLR. Many of you have been very supportive and we greatly appreciate it. Thanks,  Joe
