Just take a look at this:

This is the future of film, if you don't know much about cameras here's a breakdown:
These are digital film cameras, the Red One was used to film Jumper and Wanted. It shoots at 4K resolution which is the resolution most theaters display. IMAX is 7K resolution. The special thing about this is that the Red One costs $17,500 for the camera body--this is ridiculously cheap especially compared to the digital cameras used for the last Star Wars movies which cost $100,000 for each camera body and they are both high quality.
Now, here comes these new models, Scarlet, and Epic. Scarlet shoots from almost theater quality to almost IMAX quality, and the cheapest one is $2,500 (ridiculously cheap).
Here's the kicker thoug--their top model is the Epic 617, this shoots at 28,000x9334 pixels which is almost four times as many pixels of IMAX. And it's 126 times as many pixels as 1080p (Blu-Ray). The best thing about this is that it only costs $55,000 which yeah that's a lot of money, but for what it can do it could easily be a lot more than that.
And these new cameras are modular which allows them to be configured in many different ways--including a setup to film 3D. They can also be used as regular photography cameras.
So really, this means a lot for the film industry. It's good to know that once IMAX quality home video is achieved that there's still more that can be improved.
