KineRaw-S8p Super 8mm HD Sensor 2k RAW

CRFilms

This was mentioned in the KineRAW S35 thread a bit, but since this is a different model I think this deserves it's own thread. The guy testing just posted this anamorphic test. He says in the info he shot it at 1828x1556 with some 16mm glass and 2x anamorphic adapter. This footage looks pretty good, HOWEVER....I've seen footage as good with the GH1/2, BUT...

Supposedly this will be cheaper than the 5d m3 and the Digital bolex. Possibly $2k, maybe even lower.

There is other KineRaw S8 footage in this thread as well...

I have been following Dan's work for a couple of years now. He has been hard at work to compile a set of softwares to produce the highest image quality in RAW and then out of the RAW to a NLE friendly format. If you are really interested in any of the format KineRaw will be offering, go to " Kinefinity " website and voice your interest. They are going to set their marketing strategies based on public interest. Dan has done a couple of other videos he calls " lens tests " on vimeo ( search KineRaw ). Even after the compression the footage looks amazing. Keep in mind this is the development stage footage and Dan's interpretation ( masterfully ) of grading RAW-dng.

Whenever it is released, it's going to be released in mainland China first, so it may be a long while before others get their hands on it.

For those of you underwhelmed by the BMD Cinema Camera, remember this is still in the works and is in working field prototype form, unlike the Digital Bolex.

To quote Dan Huggens, it can....:

"This camera records fully uncompressed at various cinema aspect ratios and resolutions, this video was shot at 1828x1556x12bit@24.000fps 102.4MB/s to high speed SSD in the camera.

The camera can take C mount, CS mount, and D mount (regular 8mm) lenses.

KineRAW-S8p (tm) can monitor on its HDMI output as True RAW so you can see what the sensor sees, and the built in on screen waveforms and histograms can show the sensor raw signal levels also

You can select 1:1 pixel 100% zoom and 200% "super zoom" as well as full frame monitoring at any time, while shooting, while in playback, and while doing setup...

The KineRAW-S8p (tm) also shoots 1920x1440 in addition to 1828x1556 and has adjustable anamorphic un-squeeze in its 1280x720 HDMI viewfinder with color look up tables for semi-accurate monitoring. "

It does a lot of what people want the BMD cam to do, but....no telling when it's out, vs known release date of the BMD....but like I said...GH2 is good enough for now...I can wait.

@CRFilms

No point in wrapping your head around this one just yet, as it is the last of three on their agenda.

@Macalincag ....I'm not in the market for the BMD or 5DMk3 right now, but by the time this comes out, I may be in the market then. It has all the options I want...if the price is near $2k or less.... If not then BMD Cine Cam mk 2 would probably be what I'd go for.
