Dalsa goes wide with 4k camera, lens

April 10, 2007 Dalsa Digital Cinema is set to announce the development of a new 4k digital-cinematography camera and portable recorder along with the industry's first 4k anamorphic lenses, designed by lens design veteran Dan Sasaki, to enable cinematographers to shoot anamorphic widescreen digitally using the full resolution capability of Dalsa's image sensor. Added director of photography Stephen Burum, who previewed Dalsa's news: I think this is a big jump forward. Dalsa is extending its camera line with the introduction of the Evolution 4k digital-cinematography camera, which is said to be about 7 pounds lighter than the company's currently available Origin digital camera; the lighter-weight model was developed with an eye toward shoots that require hand-held or Steadicam shots.
