You can get somewhat close to that with a Sony a7s these days: https://vimeo.com/105690274 https://vimeo.com/105690274

  Impressive, for sure, but check the colors in the linked video as well (the one you linked is mostly grayish) as the fact that it was just starlight that made it work.

    That grayishness is due to the S-Log tonal compression, not the sensor.

  Yes, pity it's Sony. I went to hook my wife's Sony camera to wifi the other day. It requires an kernel extension for my Mac! Ugh, no thanks. I keep running into this sort of crud from Sony. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/11/sonys_drm_rootk.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/11/sonys_drm_roo... Do they ever learn?

  I was about to post the same thing. It's not perfect but on the other hand it's been out for over a year (so the firmware is stable by now) and you can pick it up for around $2000, baybe less. I would seriously consider it if I were shooting an indie movie because what it sacrifices in image quality (not very much) is more than made up for by the ability to shoot without flood lights. You might still use small lights in a narrative context but for artistic purposes rather than just illuminate your work area. Unless you've worked on a film you have no idea how much hassle shooting at night is.
