Uh, your thoughts on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera being able to come close to Alexa’s image quality? And its potential groudbreaking effect on camera ownership and rental decline when 2K/1080p Alexa quality image is the only requirement?

No Skyfall was shot in 2K on an Alexa.

My understanding is yes RAW only on the 3G-SDI connectors. You can record XAVC 2K / HD and MPEG-2 in camera.

Which is why I will be using my C500 mostly to shoot 2K and 1080p.

Your right. Everyone has their own needs. This is just my opinions based on what I do. I am lucky enough to have my hands on all of them.

No. Arri is taking their time developing a 4K camera.

I really don’t get the 4k for feature film argument. Unless it’s for reframing/stabilization work (for which it’s invaluable), I really don’t see any need for 4K even in the biggest theaters as of today. One good example: look at the new bond film, shot on Alexa by Roger Deakins. I’ve seen this digitally projected in a 1000 seats theatre the other day and there is really nothing left to desire in terms of picture quality. So why are all the indies arguing they NEED 4K, cause they want to go to the big screen? Or was skyfall shot on an alexa 4k prototype?

Doesn’t the Alexa offer 4K?
