He has the right idea.
BMC - terrible
There are really TWO cameras we should be trying to emulate (besides film)
- Arri Alexa for look
- Red Epic for latitude
The ikonoskop is like a mini alexa, the ccd from kodak has a beautiful image and global shutter. Better than canon raw, bmc, and whatever else is in that range. The kineraw is coming, maybe...
Main problem here is lack of stability of a company behind the product and the PRICE. Few will want the kit lens. For close to the same price you should just buy the Ikonoskop. It's established and available now. I've always wanted one but their solution to data transfer is too slow and expensive. Either way service and support will be limited. Which is why we've avoided it thus far.
To be successful it also needs to be functional in a professional environment, reliable, fixable, replaceable. It's a touch business.
Congrats on this project. Now shoot something cool because that might be as far as it gets.
Great work, would love to play with one regardless.
