DIGITAL BOLEX SHIPS!

Earlier this month Digital Bolex shipped their first D16 camera. The online store in now open for those wishing to place further orders. Expected delivery time is 8 – 12 weeks.

The D16 is a RAW camera featuring a CCD sensor with global shutter. The camera records RAW images as 2048 × 1152, 1920 × 1080. 1280 × 720 (50 or 60fps) and 720 × 480 (up to 90 fps). The RAW images are recorded as Adobe CinemaDNG files. Lenses attach via C-mount with adapters available for EF, PL, M43 and Turret mounts.

Of huge importance to independent filmmakers is the fact that the camera features XLR in with phantom powering and records 24 bit 96K audio.

The camera features HDMI out, enables external EVF and monitors to be used – an optional HD SDI option will soon be available.

The D16 by Digital Bolex offers a compelling alternative for those wishing to record RAW moving images. The form factor, the frame size & rate choices, the fact that the camera uses a CCD sensor with global shutter, and features XLR audio, makes this camera one to watch for affordable high-quality acquisition for the single operator or those working in small teams.

The D16 starts at $3299 USD and can ordered online from:
