That's unfortunate, as hackaday feels like that too me versus it's older writing style. I was hoping to see more advanced projects and I found it in this channel. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Here’s another project using a more affordable full frame kodak ccd with global shutter [LINK] [LINK] [VIDEO] Some people like ccd better than cmos for the color range.
Read original comment ↗I have seen some people work on a Kodak sensor and also Cine Pi's latest work with the IMX585 sensor is really amazing (4K/8K upscaled). The IMX585 sensor is expensive though compared to the HQ Cam IMX477. Here I'm using the Pi Zero 2 here so can't do 4K I believe (data lanes limit or something, also writing to SD card).
