I always wondered what happened to the Panavision Genesis. It had a large sensor CCD(as opposed to the current CMOS chips used), with a gate similar to 3-perf Super35mm. I wonder if the Arri Alexa just blew everyone away so much, that the Genesis and the Thompson Viper didn't really stand a chance in the film industry's future?
