I was talking to my film geek friends who are all into the new Red cameras (already like the name!) but the 30k pricetag is kinda steep for now. They mentioned that at the NAB tradeshow this year there was a new mini camera that's coming out supposedly in early 2009 which fits in the size of your palm and gets 3k resolution. That's 3x the res of your 1080 hd tv. In a tiny camera. That could fit easily into a water housing the same size or smaller than the ones photogs use. The big news is the price is supposed to be less thank $3000. That's just the camera and not the memory cards but still! 120 frames per second means ureal slow motion drive by shots.
This is the camera

Been looking to get into water/surf footage for some time now. Hopefully you guys will be throwing some spray in my direction soon. Sorry if you ran out and bought a 'regular' old HD tv already, though.
