Then they finally shipped.<br /><br />I can't imagine the challenges involved in shooting with something this big and with that data rate. It looks bigger than an IMAX camera. It doesn't look bigger than TWO IMAX cameras (like for IMAX 3d) but it's still huge.<br /><br />I'm sure it will get smaller, and the storage will be solved, and some things will be made with it, probably high end car commercials at first. Who knows, it might solve so many other problems it's worth it.<br /><br />nickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-63407084874058443382016-04-13T17:46:37.834-04:002016-04-13T17:46:37.834-04:00Imagine trying to film "on location" on ...Imagine trying to film "on location" on Tunisia for a star wars film, for example.

But think of the *storage* requirements! At least 1,440 *terabytes* for just an *hour* of filming! Ouch. Still really cool though.
