We Reveal The Latest Rumourflex CAmera


Our sister site, DP Wazoo, has just shown a pre-advertising artist's concept sketch of the new Rumourflex shutterless camera. The now R 43.8P MkIII is still shrouded in mystery but we were shown the outside of the box. There was very little light reflected from the surfaces of the cardboard packaging but what little there was leads us to positively confirm that the camera will have a full-frame sensor and an onboard processor that is capable of resolving 24 simultaneous RAW images, or not, as the case may be. This is accomplished by doing it in parallel instead of series. - the most practical consequence is that the images will be fed into 24 separate SD cards. The electrical power for this is derived from 6 Li ion batteries housed in the shoulder stock and fore-end grip of the camera as well as in the shooter's pockets. Different cable lengths are available for short and tall photographers.

The business of rumour photography is one of the growth sectors of the industry. Not only can the manufacturers use it to engage buyers and prevent them spending their camera money on other brands, they can frequently prevent them from spending it on food or shelter. We have often sold new equipment to shivering half-starved enthusiasts and in some cases we have felt bad about it. Not so bad that we have didn't take the money, but.

I think that the manufacturers are missing a bet - the motor car makers like to send their next lemon out to the race track swathed in fake body panels and canvas and NEVER tell the motor photo journalists that they are going to do it, nudge, nudge, wink, wink know what I mean...The camera people could do the same, and we could have packs of howling snaparazzi chasing the test shooter down Hay Street Mall. You can't pay for publicity like that.

I am prepared to do my part. I seen it. It wuz great. If you get it you will be the coolest person you know. Pre order it and you will be 50% cooler than that. And remember that you can set an alarm app on your mobile phone to go off like a destroyer siren the moment the Rumourflex company publishes out their next press statement - or stays late at the office and sends out for pizza. Don't be left out!
