Well, it's got a snazzy logo so it's gotta be good. :-)

i don't expect decent cinema camera for under $1K price tag, not in 2016, when 4K is a must

Bear in mind that the Arri Alexa isn't 4k and is used on major feature films.

What is CRAFT?

I believe that it is the word that precedes "services".

That said, I'm curious to find out what they are planning.

Their single tweet indicates both HD and 4K cameras, so presumably the sub-$1000 is the HD one. Pretty modest pre-hype for this day and age.

I hope it's an acronym. I love it when a new meme is born. New client?

Indeed. In this day and age, I actually welcome modest pre-hype.

Over in Australia, Kraft is a brand of cheese.

Now, if this thing has a heap of ventilation holes in it I may even affectionately think of it as a cheese grater. :-)

Lame hipster marketing is lame.

Sorry.

Show up with a toy or go home. The year of the teaser was... when did Red pitch the One? Back in 2007?

It's a POV cinema camera. Unfortunately the voice-over quality isn't very good.

At $1k -- perhaps this isn't a camera at all...?

Hipster marketing? Oh-so 2013 -- pleeeeeease!

I really hope it's not a small-sensor Osmo- or GoPro-style camera. We need high dynamic range, a global shutter, reasonably high ISO, onboard raw acquisition, and decent, 10- and 12-bit codecs. And please, please don't go the modular route. That would only increase costs and compromise ergonomics.
