  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

I forgot....

I can't really understand why there would be a need to upgrade the sensor to be honest, any upgrade in the NEAR future would be an admition of the current sensor being inadequate in some form surely? And any upgrade after a number of years might just as well have a new body to go with it with all the benefits of other modern technology...

Not really (IMO). If they do it right, it should be akin to a film camera. It should hold its value for a long time. Similarly, you could compare the improvement in film stocks (with film cameras) to improvement in sensor tech (with digital cinema). One of the reasons that film triumphed is that the emulsions improved exponentially while having an entire base paradigm that didn't have to with each iteration and improvement.

Sure, there'll be body redesigns and other changes , but they don't need to be complete redesigns, and the pace of change doesn't need to be concurrent with sensor technology to take advantage of the field. And in any case, I doubt sensor upgrades will be a yearly event.

BTW, every sensor can be improved. That's just science :)

If the next set of footage from Spike (high contrast, motion, deep DOF etc...) is as good as the current footy ; you'll see how modularity will entrench a technology, and not do the opposite.
 
these are what we'd call good news..

edit
ah.. your babes G.. your babes too.. because they are upgradeable..
 
Processor upgrades are what I'm interested in. If I could pump 4.5K/S35 through a processor and get REDCODE RAW out the other end, I'd be in heaven. Even if there was some sort of external compression device that I could hook to the optical RAW port... matters not. It gives me the warm fuzzies just thinking about it.
 
Call me dense, but I finally get the slogan. Your camera (i.e., my camera) never becomes obscelete. One of those things where you never connect two thoughts in your mind, I guess.

(Like, "Smarties give me painful gas," and "I think I'll eat 20 packs of Smarties". That was a bad day. . . .)
