Professional Pocket Cam (first glimpse)?

[G.A. Kokes]

A colleague emailed this post to me today:

I found it very interesting and thought I would share it with you all.

It shows a Casio Exilim 6MP CMOS Camera due soon that shoots 2K 60fps up to 300fps in crop VGA mode.

Its small and would fit in my wife's pocket book... does that count?

Cheers,
G

First Post! I have a feeling that Red will out pace the Casio but it does bring up a point I've wondered about and have not seen discussed. Is the Red Professional Pocket Camera a still camera with video mode or is it some sort of small video camera.

Pretty interesting samples; will have to see how this develops. Thanks for the link!!

Something similar to this that could shoot 2K/1080p from a 16mm sensor to Compact Flash would be awesome... Especially if it had a PL or F mount.

It will probably be in a different form factor though.
