Talk about classy industrial design...a giant black box with some switches, a view finder, and a follow focus...very nice.

@TheCrudMan: That's how the first still photography cameras were originally made. Just big, ugly wooden boxes. These things are ridiculously ahead of the times, and as such will probably take another decade until they can be constructed similarly to current hollywood-grade cameras.

@jonhapimp: You saw Watchmen on a IMAX Camera? I am betting the preview screen/viewfinder on the camera is nowhere near as good as seeing it projected on a IMAX screen.

So they sent one of these into space. How much did it cost to actually send up, lb wise.

@HasPonies!Envy_GitEmSteveDave: They had to remove the water purification system to make room for the camera. A small price to pay for beautiful HD footage in space when my...... I mean when they say urine is already sanitary and delicious.
