Two BLACK and WHITE digital movie cameras

[Doctor Wu]

Two "new" B/W movie cameras introduced. Very Exciting for fans of B/W! No Bayer filter. Far more accurate tonal gradations and better resolution!
Wish I had a spare $12,000!

Would love to shoot something with it, but alas.

Epic monochromatic sounds amazing, native ISO of 2000.

Black and white, huh? How retro. Although I do like the images from the Ikonoskop.

Yeah, talk about seeing in the dark! I had no idea the absence of a bayer filter would make such a difference to sensitivity.

I'm I reading this right? Does it really say $42,000 just for the brain?

I'm sorry but for $42k I'll settle for a slightly worse back and white image, And with the money I save buy a nice car or in this economy a decent house...

There is no way that they are going to sell many of those.
