The whole idea of a super portable 8k camera is obviously really tempting. But I had a question about skew and jello effects. On Dragon I feel the lack of this is one of its great strengths. So much so you can forget the problem ever existed. I notice that full frame cameras though continue to suffer from this. I am imagining in part because the read speed is harder to pull off on CMOS the bigger the chip gets. How is Red tackling this on the 8k with the small form factor, or is that going to be something to bear in mind if you think you are running around trying to do freestyle 8k? I suppose if the processor inside is x-men grade then anything is possible. Any insight?
 
I have to imagine it's similar to dragon. The boards are MUCH faster than Epic, so even at 8K I'm guessing Weapon holds up fine...
 
I was thinking/hoping so. Just thought as the sensor will be that much bigger, plus all the other work the boards are doing on other things - was trying to maybe manage my expectations. I guess we will see some footage soon (ish)
