Apertus has announced plans to build an open-source 4K camera that has up to 15 f-stops of dynamic range and will retail at under $10,000.
Says NoFilmSchool.com, "There is certainly an undeserved market of semi-professional/professional shooters who want a RAW-shooting Super 35mm sensor 1080p camera for between $5,000 and $8,000. It’s clear that Sony, Canon, or even RED won’t release anything for those specs at that price in the next year, so it’s up to other manufacturers like Blackmagic (with a possible upgrade to their Cinema Camera) and Apertus to fill that need. The big difference between this camera and those cameras is that at the moment, everything to make the camera work is not inside one body. They haven’t finalized any details about the external recorder yet, or if they might plan to sell the entire camera (including recorder) in a self contained body, but at the moment the recorder will be included in the under $10,000 price."
Apertus plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign later this year. Read more here.
