When I see something described as a "film camera" I infer that it uses film.
This appears to be a "film-quality, cinematic camera" that does not use film.
I had to read the whole article, carefully, to be certain that the project is purely digital. It looks digital, there's no obvious place to spool film, but phrases like "film is recorded RAW at extremely high quality" really muddy the waters.
So for anybody who's wondering, this is a digital camera.
- fooker 3y agoDo you also investigate if save icons save to floppy disks?
- StrictDabbler 3y agoIf somebody made a post talking about a "home-made floppy disk" and I clicked on it only to discover it was a flash drive, I'd be a little annoyed, sure. If a post said "hobbyist makes a land-line phone using modern components" but it was actually a cell-phone case shaped like a Bell handset, again, annoying. The headline is actively misleading. That's all.
- pavlov 3y agoIt seems to be a mistake by the editor. The creator of the device quoted in the article correctly calls it a cinema camera.
- Koshkin 3y agoI know, it's confusing, but "film" is also synonymous with "movie" (especially widely used as such outside the US).
