The Great Camera Shootout 2010

[Darren Levine]

On another note, i always have to bring it up over and over these days that there really isn't much point for deliberating how good these new cameras are. They are using it on network tv and hollywood movies for christmas sake, what more do people need?

During my filmmaking courses one of the main things i try to drive into people's heads is that we are well beyond the minimum image quality in the low budget arena. there is ZERO point to be waiting for the next big thing. You should be out shooting, not waiting or debating whether it looks like film or not. Spend more time redrafting your script and finding good actors and production crew.

so comon, stop reading my vapid words and go shoot

I loved the tests, but actually didn't like the flame test, just too damn inconsistent. i would have preferred if they used something like a 5watt bulb or somthing that doesn't change constantly like a flame

I think they used the flame because it produces lower light than even a bulb with that little of power.

David Fincher did a similar test with Leonardo DiCaprio with thew new Red One with the MX sensor.
