If anyone has any specific questions about these cameras, please feel
free to email me. I'm a cinematographer in LA and have experience
shooting shorts, documentaries, and features. I have a lot of
experience prepping and operating many of these cameras. This is a
pretty comprehensive article but doesn't really touch on several
important formats which includes s16mm and 2-perf 35mm which are both
experiencing a resurgence because of higher quality film stocks. Not
to mention they are a cheap solution for independent features . . .
This article isn't quite accurate in some capacities. Kodak's Vision
III line of motion picture stocks now have a 13 to 14 stop latitude.
DSLRs are becoming very popular with music videos and indi-features
down here as well, although the workflows are a bit complicated
because this technology is still very young. I highly recommend the
American Cinematographer Manual. I have some power points if anyone is
curious.
