Mads, all dream cameras are cheaper, better, faster! This could be real.

Dear Mads,
CMOS sensors are not controled by the Japanse monopoly and their associated suppliers. With CMOS sensors it is possible to get far better images faster at cheaper prices than Sony controlled CCD's.

With that better/ best given, the challenge is how to engineer the camera. Biggest challenge is processing data from CMOS sensors. That an a good prism to split light.

And since this is dream camera, might as well design this for HD and perhaps two editing solutions: HD 1080 plus at 4:4:4 and
more standard 4:2:2 at HD.

Idea is togowhere no video camera has before. To make camera that if you invest $25,000 it will not be obsolete in two years.
To perhaps design it so can upgrade the back end data processors. For lens, frame and prism are fairly well developed.

Hey, in this dream camera, perhaps, we should be able to even upgrade the CMOS sensors.

So toanswer your question: yes, cheaper, faster, better and easily upgradable.

That is why Iam asking you, the end users, what you would want.

My sense is the existing camera manufactors like Ikie and JVC are planning new CMOS cameras. But they may botch it like JVC did with HD cam with 30P, 24p. Also, when the critical CMOS can be bought for sales tax, it should be possible to build a much cheaper camera with 20% built in for research and development for
constant improvements that are upgradable to existing cams.
