Lytro: I got to wondering about what to look for when shopping for a new camera so I have done some research and here is what I have found. The most outstanding new gadget I have found is the Lytro. The image captured by this camera can be refocused! This camera records the entire light field. This allows for changing the object of focus and seeing the image from a different perspective. In December a new function will be added to the camera that will allow the images to be turned in different directions for new perspective on any shot. The price is range is $499.00 and $399.99 depending on the internal storage size. The colors now offered are Red Hot, Electric Blue, Graphite, and Seaglass. Below is a picture of the Lytro.

Now moving on to more of a filmmakers choice of goodies
The Canon EOS 1D C: I have had my eyes on this camera for the past few months after seeing some the films shot with this camera. It is a 4K camera and it is aimed at professionals but it comes with a reachable price tag. Below is pictured the Canon EOS 1D C. As you can see it is a small camera.
The Canon EOS 1D C
Information on this camera from Canon is, "It shoots 4K video at 24 frames per second, and can output uncompressed 1080p footage as well."The starting price is around $12,000.00. The Canon EOS C500 is higher priced and considered to be more of a traditional cinema camera. This camera outputs in 4K and 2K uncompressed footage (4,096 x 2,160 pixels)(2,048 x 1,080 pixels). The price is around $30,000.00

You can go on over to the Canon cinema gallery to have a look at movies shot with the Canon new line-up of 2K and 4K cameras. Once you have this camera back at your nest you will need some rigging. Zacuto offers a full line and on their Web site you will find everything you could ever wish for.

People tell me that they spend around $2000.00 on rigging equipment and upwards.
Now a word on Youtube videos straight from the Youtube mouth:
"YouTube allows a maximum upload resolution of 4096 × 3072 (12.6 megapixels, aspect ratio 4:3).[4][5] However, YouTube's web-based video player is limited to a maximum of only 2048 × 1536 (3.1 megapixels).[6] 4K videos on YouTube can still be downloaded in their original resolution using a YouTube downloader."Happy filmmaking!!!
