Kinefinity KineRaw S35 Raw Digital Cinema Camera

Last year I posted about the KineRAW S35, a Chinese Alexa that Guardian photographer and DSLR News Shooter, Dan Chung, had discovered at the BIRTV trade show in Beijing.

At the time it was, essentially, vapourware, but now it seems that the launch of this camera is just weeks away…and at a projected price of approximately $6000 for a 2K (down sampled from 4K), 12 bit raw, S35mm camera, than can take PL, Canon & Nikon lenses, could turn out to be a very significant development.

Dan Chung has posted a 20 minute interview with JH from the camera’s developer, Kinefinity, and is currently testing the camera. If it fulfils its promise, then the combination of the KineRAW S35, Blackmagic Design’s new $3000, 2.5K raw shooting M43 Digital Cinema Camera and the crowd funded S16 Raw shooting Digital Bolex, might just be the catalyst for Sony, Canon & RED, to produce competitively priced raw cinema cameras…and if it is not, apparently Kinefinity has 4K raw, S16 raw & S8 raw cameras in development…

Here are some highlights featuring the burlesque talents of Millie Dollar (who you may remember from The Toadlickers) & Beatrix Von Bourbon, compere Paul Sweeney, some top breakdancers, Cyanide Girls, Engineers of Desire, the eye popping Tattoo Awards…and assorted punters with tattoo needles stuck in various bodily parts.

Torture Garden Birthday Ball 2012

Torture Garden Birthday Ball 2012 (16 of 26).jpg

Recently I was invited to Torture Garden‘s birthday ball, at The Coronet, by a friend who was performing there…at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it (like gaffer tape to a nipple).

Part way through the show, one of the acts thought it would be a good idea to throw (non bodily) fluids in the direction of the camera I was using, which created a few technical hitches. Nevertheless, here are some pics from the main stage featuring John Jon, the Bibian Blue fashion show, EastEnd Cabaret, Chrisalys & Sabrina Sweepstakes and Yusura Bush Watcher.

If you’re of a nervous disposition, below the age of consent, or a right wing religious fanatic, you should probably look away now.
