No, this isn't a camera designed specifically for the most profitable sector of the film industry, but a new 4K (roughly four times the resolution of HD) camera created by the entrepreneur behind Oakley's sunglasses.

What is exceptional about Jim Jannard's ambitious project is his aim to bring a 35mm sized senor and resolution down to prices most of us can afford. Ok, at $30,000 for the complete kit, its not exactly time to break open the piggy bank, but rental rates should be extremely affordable for those of us wanting to produce the highest quality images possible.

Stephen Sodenbergh is now shooting his Che Guevera biopic 'Guerilla' on one of the first production models.

Personally, I'm a bit of a film purist, but this is really interesting stuff nevertheless.
