RE: Apertus: The Open-Source Filmcamera
Interesting but don´t think it will work. Most people will prefer the comfort of a cheap DSRL or blackmagic camera over having to assemble one yourself, no?

That's not how it works.
The camera is a whole, but you can buy another sensor for instance or swap the bayonet if you need to afterwards. You won't have to buy a whole other camera for that.
Secondly it's open source. You can buy that camera, create your own software or add on for it and start selling that.
I get that, but I still wouldn´t use this on one of my productions (as of now or the next years) due to low expertise level of crew.
Also, this is not comparable to a cheap DSLR or even an expensive one. It's made to contend with film cameras that cost 5000+.
So it still competes with cheap cameras :-)
Not sure established production houses will warm up to this any time soon.
Great idea though.
It's no RED camera for sure :P
Time will tell where it will go though. This might just be the tip of the iceberg :)
After seeing Lilly drone fail I am not too sure about these crowdfunded innovative cameras anymore :-(
Most of those crowdfunded campaigns are cashgrabs...
