Not sure where to put, maybe moderators can place in an appropriate home...
It seems to me that as it stands today, digital SLR's are far closer to what we would like to see in a low cost digital movie camera than what the camcorder manufacturers are likely to provide any time soon. For $1000 we can get a 6megapixel chip that is the same size as 35mm motion picture film, same focal lengths dof etc. Real lenses, iris, glass etc. One sensor so no chromatic aboration from prism, should be able to make adaptors for cinema lenses. They are even including low res movie modes now. The limitation is storage speed and data through put. with P2 and like high speed, high capacity storage on its way real time full frame can't be far behind. You know that if 24fps full res was available papparazzi, would take it, and we could use it.
If you are an animator, or do time lapse it is already ideal. Maybe someone could frankenstein a nikon d70 for realtime output to hd-rack or some such set-up.
They put nikon lenses on movie cameras, why not zeiss superspeeds on the nikon.
Why do we expect companies that make news cameras and home movie machines to be the gods of digital movie making. Start with good pictures and get more faster. :thumbsup:
