I've been following this camera since everyone considered RED vaporware. Development has been agnozingly slow and now that they're getting close there are better options for less money. It's great if you want something open source (which I can't applaud enough) but in terms of shaking things up it's too little too late.

it's been in the making for a long time, several years, and then blackmagic came and offers you better camera for less (though not open source).

Hopefully there will be some open source code out of this project that can be used for other cameras, would be great to push open source ISP pipelines in general on linux, the RPi camera options for instance are very limited.
