by Milos Itic on July 13, 2012
The future of open cinema cameras from now on has a name: APERTUS AXIOM
Camera industry these days is fast and furious. New digital camera revolution. After BlackMagic Cinema, we have now Apertus Axiom, the first Open Source Camera. Name of this camera is Axiom, Apertus is the company. They plan to find all the money through fundraising campaigns via Kickstarter. I am not sure what they mean with “open source”, actually you will need 10.000 dollars to buy it, what is very expensive. Phillip Bloom defines “in terms of liberty, it is free”.
