WHAT IS THE PANAVISION GENESIS CAMERA?

The Genesis Camera is made by Panavision and can really be called a Digital Film Camera.
Panavision did a brilliant thing here and made a camera that their current and future customer base could use with only a lateral learning curve involved.
The Genesis utilizes all of the same PV mounted Panavision lenses that work on their line of film cameras.
The Genesis has a Super 35mm sized sensor and is capable of shooting at up to 50FPS.
The sensor in the Genesis is rated at 400 ASA ( thats why we call it a digital film camera)
and with the ability to open the shutter to 360deg. 
The Genesis can record to HDCAM-SR tape and to the new Panavision SSR-1 Solid State Recorder, which means that it is recording to Flash Memory and NOT spinning drives.

  1. Why Is it that 400 ASA is the determining factor for a digital film camera?
