This appears to be a "film-quality, cinematic camera" that does not use film.
I had to read the whole article, carefully, to be certain that the project is purely digital. It looks digital, there's no obvious place to spool film, but phrases like "film is recorded RAW at extremely high quality" really muddy the waters.
So for anybody who's wondering, this is a digital camera.
If a post said "hobbyist makes a land-line phone using modern components" but it was actually a cell-phone case shaped like a Bell handset, again, annoying.
The headline is actively misleading. That's all.
It's not basically 1080p, it's literally 2x more pixels, which is important for cropping to 1080p in select zones, or emulating lense zoom, stabilization etc.
