I was browsing dpreview.com and read the latest press release for a "low cost" CMOS APS-C sensor. The sensor is slightly smaller than 35mm motion picture film (23X16 instead of 24X18, but really about the same when you consider than motion picture film is cropped for 1.85:1). It's 9mp, does 5fps (or 20fps at VGA resolutions) and costs $90!

It's a newish company, but still. An ArriD20 costs about a gajillion dollars. It's just not fair.
