This new French camera has a few very noteworthy ideas behind it.
First of all, it does away with a mechanical shutter to bring the cost down and instead has a global shutter CMOS sensor.

There’s a new modular raw cinema camera. This one isn’t built by a camera company, or even a team. Created over the last 6 months in Flensburg in Northern Germany single-handedly by Roald Christessen, the camera features a global shutter and raw video.

Though it cannot be 100% confirmed I am pretty sure the Blackmagic Production Camera uses a sensor supplied by CMOSIS, which if true would be very good news as it is the latest technology and already in mass production.

Let’s go misty eyed for a second and imagine you’re shooting a Terrence Malick inspired scene at magic hour this Summer, a warm breeze drifting through the air.
The sun glints through the trees and the scene begins “action” – with 4K with a global shutter for $4000. Is this really going to happen?
