Arri introduced three prototypes with prices ranging from E 50 000 to E 130 000. They all share a new CMOS 3.5K sensor with 800+ ISO rating and 12+ dynamic range, plus 1-60FPS.
Estimated delivery date 6/2010 for the cheaper model, 12/2010 for the most expensive. The less pricier models will feature an LCOS evf and 16:9 aspect ratio. The most expensive a optical viewfinder and 4:3 aspect ratio (for anamorphic shooting).
The D21 owners can upgrade to the ultimate model.
All will have on board HD recording and the two more expensive uncompressed ARRIRAW recording. At the moment there are three certified Arriraw recorders from S.two, Codex and Keisuko Giken.
The camera downscales the captured pixels from 2880X1620 to 1920X1080 for HD and from 3072X1728 to 2048X1152 for 2K In the high end model the camera utilizes the full 3392X2200 pixel count.
I saw an D21 with ans S2 flash recorder very similar to the Panavision one.
There was a demonstration of the new sensor, with a small revolving car model encompassed in a small box lighted from a color changing source, that was quite impressive at least for its low light capabilities. Also a working prototype of the new EVF.
In order to achieve wider exposure latitude they incorporate some kind of HDR method by combining two differently exposed readouts from each pixel.
