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…
