Will a 50mm become a 76mm?? Please advise. The focal length never changes, only the angle of view. However, you can calculate the equivalent focal length...

If the Genesis, the F23, and F35 were more affordable to a broader class of users, the same argument would probably apply. What makes them cinema cameras is that they are too expensive to use in productions besides cinema. Regardless of its application, it is flexible enough to shoot film. Mine has been used on two feature films over the past six months. None of my other cameras have been hired for that reason. It's about what the camera...

is it my laptop screen or is the video very under exposed when the sparklers aren't lit?

i knew i read this information somewhere! also is redcode going to be supported in adobe cs4? i think i heard something about that as well

Resampling down to 2K would give 16.7+ stops of dynamic range (13+ sqrt(28/2)) as long as the read noise is random (and I bet it will be).

I consider HD as being something in the range of 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. Anything over that is no longer considered HD. I recall Jim (founder of RED) making a statement when Scarlett was first announced that they do not want to produce an HD camera because their target customer is not the consumers or prosumers. Instead, their aim is to target the professional video/film market where they need something better than HD such as 3k and above. It...

the only thing to add about the 6x17 sensor is , if it's for panoramic then it would have been really cool if it was curved . Can sensors ever be curved ? Because there's nothing quite like a curved filmplane panoramic camera . It's one of the true technological holdouts to continue shooting with film . Otherwise it's only a wide camera , not quite a panoramic . See Noblex .

For any given focal length... The smaller the image sensor, the more narrow the field of view will be. The larger the image sensor, the wider the field of view will be.

Sorry, I hope I haven't scared away people from responding to Jerrod's spot. That was a bit of a diatribe--but I do stand behind the sentiment.
