Popular Cameras on the Market
With so many cameras on the market, it is hard to pick and choose which would fit best for your production needs. Below are a few we searched and found to be some of the more popular cameras being used by professional filmmakers today… What do you think?
 |
RED One
RED One comes from RED, a company founded by Jim Jannard. Many major motion pictures have been shot entirely with RED, including Contagion directed by Stephen Soderbergh and The Social Network directed by David Fincher. This has become the camera of choice for quality independent films. It operates like a computer and shoots 720p, 2k and 4k resolutions, PL mount or can be adapted to use B4, Canon EF or Nikon 35mm lenses. |
 |
Canon Cinema EOS
Canons newest camera, the EOS C300 combines an interchangeable lens system with a brand new Super 35mm CMOS sensor, the EOS C300 is a "digital cinema camera" that is designed to fit the needs of the professional filmmaker. |
 |
Panasonic AG-AC1160 / AG-AC130 AVCCAM HD
The new AG-AC160 and AG-AC130 AVCCAM HD handheld camcorders incorporate high-sensitivity 1/3", full-HD 2.2 megapixel 3-MOS imagers to capture native 1920 x 1080 HD images as well as DV images. With the longest lens in their class (a wide 22X zoom with 3 independent adjustable rings for zoom / focus / iris), these solid-state cameras let you nail virtually every shot you’re after, even in dimly lit scenes. |
 |
Sony F23, F35, F65 CineAlta
The F23 was the first version modular camera in Sonys CineAlta system, a line developed specifically for movie use. It features wide gamut, 444 color, slow-motion and speed-ramping. |
 |
Arri Alexa / Alexa M / Alexa Plus / Studio
Martin Scorsese and Bob Richardson chose this camera for Hugo. The four versions (Alexa, Alexa M, Alexa Plus, Alexa Studio) represent different configurations of the modular system. For example, the M separates the camera head from the recording body and the Studio model features a mechanical shutter and optical viewfinder. A firmware update in November allowed for shooting up to 120fps. |
 |
Dalsa Origin
The Origin shoots 4k images and is designed to work with 35mm cine lenses. Many commercials, short films and VFX sequences have been shot with this camera, including parts of the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. |
 |
Sony PMW-F3
The PMW-F3 has a Super 35mm-sized sensor, accepts PL-mount lenses and can record at 1080/23.98p, as well as slow motion up to 720/60p. It also has the ability to put sound in directly via XLR, which will streamline sound workflows for many indie projects. |
 |
RED Scarlet-X
The Scarlet-X is less like REDs imagined Scarlet and more like a junior version of the Epic. As of November 2011, it is the cheapest camera that provides quality 4k capture. |
 |
Panavision Genesis
This camera has high quality recording formats, an onset color display for error-free filming and an on-set real time DPX creation tool that can catch filming issues before you leave a location. Its size and weight make it ideal for studio, handheld or Steadicam use. |
