Olympus announced c-7000 with 25fps vga video mode

Well ya, but only in 640 X 480 and lasts 20 seconds.

doesn't it depend on the size of cf card ?

i think that this camera, despite frame rate is kind of useless - because of CCD size. what is the advantage of that size?

[cutout from olympus page]

• 1/1.8 " Type CCD
• 7.4 million pixels total
• 7.1 million effective pixels
...
Movie clips
• 640 x 480 (25 fps) up to 20 seconds
• 640 x 480 (12.5 fps) 42 seconds
...

i beleive that the best solution (at least on this alter' forum) is to find something what is VERY close to proper 35mm frame size.

or i'm wrong?

well that would address the dof problem but even so this sensor is almost 1/2 inch which would be better dof than 1/3 cameras- it's in how they sample the image - just thought it was interesting seeing that it's the first still camera outputing a video image at 25fps- but as always the proof is in the pudding !
