The big “reveal” at the invitation only DGA event was that it uses the Sony SxS 32 GB memory cards for storage (yes, 2 of them) and that the “memory” module is replaceable as memory technology improves. Oh, and it shoots directly into Apple ProRes 4-4-4 so that the files drop immediately into an editing workflow. Cool!
