From the German web cam slash can access it useful to compare cameras. This is a database of the main cameras on the market and domestic semi perfectly classified with all its parameters and technical specifications.
But what really useful is that we can select any of them and compare them. In addition the database has an engraved frame for each model (do not miss the freaky tavern that used to it), which is very welcome.

Thanks to a reader of this blog comes this reference to a possible alternative to Network
This is a Spanish project called Bluecam . Blue is not a company but a collaborative project that gives carte blanche to all those professionals who wish to propose ideas and solutions and build and design a new camera. Broadly speaking these are the main features of this camera does not cream:

• A digital movie camera to 1080 progressive and 2K switchable.
• A completely modular body design.
• Native capture format uncompressed DNG.
• HDR Power Cinema directly to the camera.
• Ability to capture from 1 to 60 fps.
• Commercial storage compact flash cards.
• Double CF slot to capture uninterrupted.
• PL mount lenses.
• Adapters to exploit the artistic use of other types of lenses, such as photographs.
• Two XLR audio inputs.
• USB port.
• IEEE 1394 and HDMI outputs.

Sounds like RED, but it is clear that the emergence of alternatives in the market is always beneficial for professionals and amateurs.

We hope that does not remain a mere blueprint and go ahead, although the road is hard and that RED still surprised every day with its spectacular ads.
A major asset for the success of a project of this nature is certainly a fair price because the main target of these cameras is the semi-independent sector, hence the excitement mounted with the new Canon 5D.

Friends of Blue count on it, and do not forget in your project the new concept launched by Red and Canon, the camera hybrid between photography and video, it seems that the future trend will go in this direction and develop a new camera without This may make it obsolete before it comes out.
