Just surfing and came across this new digital video/still camera.

12 Mpixel, 35mm, 60 fps! Is this the future of nature photography, combining HD video and still capture.

Fascinating stuff, I wonder if it will ever make it past venture capital funding and turn into a real product.

How many frames a second does it take for TV work?

This thing looks stunning what may unlimately let it down is if it does not accept a.n.others lenses.
Never having looked into video I assume that the aperature is just left stopped down during the whole exposure time to get 60FPS?

Interesting, but I wouldn't like to spend 10x longer editing images because I'd shot 60 frames per second rather than 6 :biggrin: I have quite enough to cope with and too little time in the field as it is.

But then I guess you'd never miss a decisive moment, just spend a long time looking for it...
