SiliconImaging SI-2K

($30,000 +)

This camera is an all-in-one masterpiece. The Silicon Imaging SI-2K takes a digital cinema class 2048x1152 resolution camera head, IRIDAS color-management technology, and the power of CineForm RAW, to create an incredible direct-to-disk raw recording platform with breathtaking image quality and shooting flexibility. The low-noise, high-dynamic range images, with over 10 f-stops of dynamic range via an on-chip 12-bit A/D converter, are freely adjustable with user-generated IRIDAS .look files, creating a "blank-slate" for the cinematographer to freely express thier vision. Now you'd think that it would end there, but it doesn't. This thing's got IT-friendly connectivity through integrated 802.11g wireless access, touchscreen interface, an Anton-Bauer battery-powered operation, and up to 4-hours of continuous shooting on a 160GB notebook hard drive to round out an incredible array of HDl cinematic firsts in the industry.
