I really don’t want to oversell this new piece of technology – but I really can’t help but imagine a hundred ways it will affect the way filmmakers approach their shooting, regardless of their budget, in such a "game changing" way. To be fair this new device won’t be as affordable as the Canon 5D MKII was

Something cutting-edge video DSLR feature package or new platform. Maybe a breakthrough in sensor design & ergonomics/usability as well.

I've heard he's shooting a video project with the Leica M

Even though in the comments he says it's not a camera.... we'll see.

Well looking at the url I would say April Fool!!!!

From his post.

(But one important HINT: It’s NOT a camera… which makes it very interesting to thing: what could make almost EVERY film maker out there interested in this new technology, regardless of what they shoot, regardless of budget… that’s NOT a camera. And yes while I realize I’m posting this on April 1, this is absolutely not an April Fool’s joke.)

My guess would be an affordable cinelens line.

Interesting, maybe some sort of super crazy light and small, perfect stabilizer/gyro system for like $3000? That could be pretty darn awesome.

nah, no way

yeah comes directly after an affordable lamborghini on my list... ;D

Ahahaha, I know it is a bold guess, but apart from a camera, lenses are one of the only things all videographers use. I don't really see what "revolution" could be made for lightening or sound recording, and gyros are not used in all styles of video. However, there actually exist a affordable cinelens line, made by Samyang.

Another thing I can think of would be some sort of Canon-made Metabone Speed Booster. It is some sort of reverse teleconverter, that enable the use of FF lens on smaller sensors with there native focal length and add one f-stop by shrinking the image circle it produce. However, I really don't see Canon, or any other major camera maker as a matter of fact, make such a product, as it would certainly hurt their full-frame sell, in favor of lower-end bodies. Moreover, they would have to find a way to work around the required lens to sensor distance to make it work.

Wow, comparing this to the 5D2 is an insult to common sense. I wonder how much they paid him?

or maybe you just have no clue how great this is?

the 5D MK2 was just on thing... cheaper then other solutions.

this is something completely new.

i agree.

the 5D MK2 brought high quality video for the masses.
if you had the money a RED was still the better option.

but put this sucker in the hand of an average videographer and he can do michael ballhaus moves without thinking about it.

you could make a kids birthday at mc donalds into something not possible before.
something not possible without much thinking and equipment.
