3D-Mobster, you are welcome to your opinion, of course. However, I have two developers in a major media corporation who have the units, and they confirm the results are fantastic. They are hotly developing content for it on a show-time level. Maya, Adobe, Unity, and Android are all pouring resources into this concept.

I won't purchase the Hydrogen myself ($1300) until I prove out my content concept for it, which I am pursuing full speed ahead as we speak.

And remember, this is depth-effect ... with no glasses.

Red/Leia have constantly remarked that it is futile to show the effect of H4v on any 2D device. If this were fake, Red would lose stupendous face in Hollywood and around the world. Many films are shot on their Red cameras, and they are all the way in for high stakes. Also, there have been three tremendous failures to bring non-glasses depth-viewing to devices, and we are all aware. The critics would have no qualms about pouncing, so RED and Leia are making sure this is "a thing."

It might look really cool in real life, which I guess will be known very quickly if it is as great as they claim. Maybe its just their promotional stuff that rubs me the wrong way. :D I hope they can pull it off and it can launch a wave of new technologies, however I wanted to be fair, so I looked for reviews and found one from a person that have seen it in action. And he doesn't really seem to impressed either and actually have the same impression that I did, that this is a bit hyped for no reason.

Anyway, you obviously have no obligation to defend it and if people think its a good product they will buy it and make it popular. But then again it doesn't really matter since you asked about cameras in Poser. :)
