It's the latest and the greatest. It's compact,
with XLR pro audio connectors and everything.
Want one? Bit of techno-lust?

  2. I agree. For digital to really, really work, cost of memory has to come down, so tape goes away, and somebody has to build a truly-digital image sensor, many times current resolution.

    For now, it's "good enough," and they've got the "easier" part down, but for it to work as well as film has for a century, it's gotta be "faster," "cheaper," AND "higher quality."
