The D16 is currently available!

The D16 also uses a CCD sensor made by Kodak. The D16 was made after the Ikonoskop, and thus it has a few modern additions over the Ikonoskop. Also, with its XLR inputs, it is an easier option for those who would like to record professional sound and video together. The D16 has been used on a variety of different types of projects, and can be adapted to your needs quite easily.
