Sensors in a box...They're coming!

Do you know what they used for a PCB/program to get around the auto exposure?

If I remember correctly, it's explained in one of their vids... I saw it the other day. Something about locking the exposure upon power up with the previous exposure used. Look at their website for explanation..

That would be crazy awesome. A high sensitivity sensor, a B&W sensor, an "all in one" sensor, etc. You'd buy a body and then fill it with what you needed. I like where this could go

The rumours of the new Panavision 70mm digital cinema camera are really interesting in this regard: you can shoot 70mm, Vistavision, Anamorphic, S35mm all in one camera.

YES, I've been saying this for a awile now, I don't think it's such a big stretch considering the speed at which tech. is moving. One camera platform, interchangable lens mounts and sensors. Man that would be sweet.

This already exists in the Ricoh GXR

I would buy one of these for my Quadcopter!

how hard/expensive would it be to build something like the go pro 3 black?

I kind of want to know too, ahah

By build, do you mean a new camera from scratch?

I would say probably $10k to $20k to develop a prototype. The actual parts themselves wouldn't cost more than $500-$1000, the rest would go towards paying people.

It all depends on how quickly you want it done, and who you get to work on it.

Here's a tear down of the GoPro Hero3 - Black Edition. Most surprising thing to me, no active cooling just a light coating of thermal compound on the image processor.

I kind of want to know too, ahah
