Viper of HD Cinema

I think Dion Beebe also shot with the Viper on Collateral (Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx). I have not compared specs vs genesis, but last I heard, the Viper team didnt have to erase a green line from the whole movie.... ha ha ha.

Viper is a damn nice camera - shoots HD, shoots 24p, but also shoots RGB 4:4:4 in what they call FilmStream mode - it's unprocessed RGB off the sensors, no filtering at all, and it is log not linear, so preferable for high end color correction. I think it costs around $85K if I remember correctly, but is a camera not camcorder - the S.Two or HDCAM SR are the usual recording methodologies.
