The ARRIFLEX D-20 A FILM STYLE DIGITAL CAMERA


The ARRIFLEX D-20 A FILM STYLE DIGITAL CAMERA
Over the last century cinematographers, innovators and equipment manufacturers have created a set of sophisticated tools for visual storytelling. At the heart of these tools is a 35 mm film camera with certain characteristics, including the size of the aperture, a large variety of lenses, a bright optical viewfinder, the ability to run at variable speeds, simple to use controls, robust and ergonomic construction and an extensive array of specialized accessories. Video cameras, on the other hand, have been based on the 2/3“ chip standard and have been designed for Electronic News Gathering, making them less than ideal for narrative film making.
The ARRI Group, a world wide supplier of the highest quality motion picture film equipment since 1917, has introduced a camera concept combining the handling, functionality and creative options of film cameras with the immediacy of digital cameras.
The ARRIFLEX D-20 is available for rental through the ARRI Rental Group and its partners to productions that are eager to make use of a modern film style high definition camera.
