Silicon Imaging has announced a 2/3CCD 1080p cam with interchangable lens for under $20K(!!). More info in their FAQ. They have a bare bones version for just $12,500!

2/3 chip camera is as good as it gets! All the cams I’ve mentioned before here are 1/3 chip cameras… 2/3 is usually really high end stuff reserved for the Rodriguezes and Sodenbergs…

Can’t wait for the weekend to see more announcements in the upcoming NAB (April 22-28 Las Vegas)
