Zacuto Camera Shootout! www.zacuto.com
Well it’s finally here, after a year of anticipation I was NOT let down. The 2010 shootout was the best comparison to date and this year Zacuto topped their previous performance with the format and style of shooting by allowing Robert Primes ASC, a working Hollywood DP to design and supervise the unbiased tests and choose his shooters. Especially beneficial is the comparison of traditional video style cameras with the DSLRs and I appreciated the inclusion of 35mm motion picture film as well.
There is a substantial array of formidable cameras this year and some pretty drastic price differences. I’m excited to see the Nikon D7000 in the group, as I just won a Telly for a commercial I produced using only footage shot with the D7000. I’m quite pleased how well the Nikon holds up with the “big boys” and the Canon DSLRs, performing especially well on the low light scenes.
This is a very impressive series of tests and comparisons. A “must see” for any shooter or anyone interested in electronic cinematography. As was brought out, any good Cinematographer can produce good footage out of any of these cameras, but it is great to see each of the cameras taken to the limit in less than ideal conditions that are equally treated by each camera.
Kudos to Zacuto!
