Some footage is online on the ikonoskop website.
The clips have been shown at IBC,so nothing really new here.

That's what they call footage? 3 seconds of some guy in a lab and 3 seconds of someone driving down a road at night? I think they need a new marketing department.

If you take the watch footage, which is quicktime animation coded (12 bit that is) and start playing with it colorwise, you'll see why it's online.

Can you elaborate?

I thought your characterization of the Ikonoskop RAW data file as almost needing "development" (like film) was appropos. Also good to hear the audio data is separate from the video.

It has to be separated, there is no "video", only a sequence of pictures/images(frames) organized by folders...


Those cartridges won't be cheap, though. This will be $11-13k when it's ready for a shoot.

It will come with a 80GB memory card and a 9mm lens, so it will be ready for shooting out of the box, for about $10k.




And that kind of cost makes me wonder about two things:

1. Ikonskop's file-management software

There won't be one, they already said that, they wil just provide the raw files and count on software developers like Adobe to deal with them the best way possible.


But i find it kinda difficult to spend 10k based on these 3 videos (all of them displaying some issues -> aliasing in the clock, for instance.) and hoping for a delivery 2 months from now.

I really like the Ikonoskop camera.

The big problem that I've got right now is that they haven't announced how much the cartridges are going to cost. Being proprietary and stuffed full of expensive Flash memory means that they're going to be expensive. I'd not order one up until I know how much they're going to be.

There's a new blog post on the ikonoskop blog -- A-cam dII - Prototype 1 | News/blog | Ikonoskop (http://www.ikonoskop.com/blog/a-cam-dii---prototype-1/)

the've got a prototype? Weren't these fellows supposed to be shipping by now?

This SSD HD is pretty close to what they are trying to achieve:

Newegg.com - OCZ Summit OCZSSD2-1SUM250G 2.5" 250GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227449)

Just read their user forum - Looks like the guys haven't update anyone in three months.
I'd be really nervous if I put money down on this camera.

According to Ikonoskop they shipped their first camera to the no1 pre order holder somewhere in Down Under.

Shot in Australia from Nick Paton with the first Ikonoskop camera.

I found the imagery very beautiful apart from the very pronounced smearing in the burned highlights.
