Here's the "Gorgeous" Kinefinity KineRAW S35 2K Cine Camera, a Chinese knock-off of the Alexa. This 2K digital cinema camera with a Super35 CMOS sensor and PL mount can record "dual RAW" to a 12 bit DNG for CinemaDNG based workflows or GoPro-Cineform RAW on removable SSD drives. Plus, it outputs just about everything for monitoring.
Here's the fun part, the price will be less than $8000 bucks. Sure, people are worried about reliability but at $8000 you can buy a boat load of 'em for the price of one Epic or Alexa. And all the connector labels are already in English.
Be sure to watch the video at http://vimeo.com/28233165 It's "gorgeous". I shouldn't make fun of his choice of words, his English is much better than my Chinese...
I have posted my custom de-Bayer software on my web site for use with the Kinefinity.com KineRAW (tm) cameras. It in the download section called DANCINEC.ZIP (tm). It supports other True RAW Digital Cinema Cameras like Acam dII (tm), Kinor-2K (tm), SI-2K (tm), Sumix (tm), OptimaCine.com (tm) etc. One special feature for the Kinefinity (tm) cameras is the DNG plus meta-data using tag 50740 that helps with color matching between the camera's viewfinder and the "finished" quality results from the de-Bayer to TIF/DPX/CIN/BMP.

If you have any questions about using the KineRAW (tm) cameras with my de-Bayer or DI programs, my email is at the top of each page at my web site. I hope to have some KineRAW-S8 (tm) temp footage by the end of October, hopefully, they are finishing up a few features in the S8 model. The sensor board in the S16 model is said to be close to being ready for operational testing also.
