Rumor: Canon 4k super35 camera

Interesting approach though.

Canon says that their Digic DV III processor reads this new sensor differently; it does not use the line-skipping method found in high-res HD-DSLR sensors. Instead, every four pixels (two green, one red, and one blue) are sampled for each final output pixel. In other words, color is assembled the same way as a traditional three-chip sensor block… two megapixels of red, two megapixels of blue and four megapixels of green (twice as much green as red or blue, since green carries the luminance info). Each primary color sampling off of the sensor is native 1920×1080, each color value alone is equal to the final output resolution. Canon claims that the processed signal has 1,000 lines of TV resolution, and the moire, diagonal line stair-stepping and other artifacts are greatly reduced in this chip compared to HD-DSLR cameras.

Two years and another couple of lower models , at half the price, with this sensor just might be a possibility. I think if this is the price, the fs100 and af100 will sell more ! It does look beautiful though. Reminds me of a Beaulieu.

I'm still trying to figure out the historic part. So far, other than size and on-board codec, I don't see how this really dominates the F3. And how long has the F3 already been here? *sigh* as predicted, underwhelmed now. :)
