From the creative place that brought us Saabs, Super-16, and Sven<br />
Nykvist, comes a new, form-following-functional tiny digital<br />
camcorder: the Ikonscop Acam dII.<br />
Ikonoskop was founded in 1999 by Göran Olsson and Daniel Jonsäter,<br />
both active filmmakers. Their first product, the A-cam SP-<br />
16, was introduced in 2003: the smallest, lightest, most affordable<br />
(new) Super-16 camera on the market.<br />
Their Acam dII is a sculptural, ergonomic, lightweight, uncompressed<br />
HD Camcorder that records 1920×1080 RAW CinemaDNG<br />
files directly onto removable 160 GB Memory Cartridges.<br />
At 240MB/second, one 160 GB Ikonoskop Memory Cartridge<br />
records 32 minutes of footage, audio and metadata.<br />
It is available with PL, Leica M, IMS, and C mounts. An A-Cam<br />
dII body costs 6,950 Euros. Add € 750 for the mount, € 990 for a<br />
Memory Card, and release your inner troll.<br />
Göran Olsson explained, “It’s a combination of art and technology,<br />
a camera made for filmmakers by filmmakers.”<br />
