David Odell Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Im not sure where to put this topic. But first of Im going to invest in a camera and optics for a some small and a bigger production. Camera budget is estimated ~20000$. Im looking for alternatives that allow me to shot by my self without B assistant etcetera. Also the preferred camera layout should be that I can put the camera right on my shoulder without any need of rigs. But mostly I shoot static shots with tripod. My latest production, a seven year doc, was shot with DV, HD, Super16 and I wish to continue my cinematography with a really small team. So what cameras is preferred for a single cinematographer? Panasonic HPX3700 with zoom optics? Something that brings me close to s16? I also with not to work with 35mm depth of field. Super 16 and 2/3" depth of field is closer to my likes. So any tips is welcomed! Best, David Edited February 11, 2013 by David Odell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted February 11, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2013 Perhaps the Black Magic Design camera? very affordable at 3K for the body so the rest can get you some nice optics ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Odell Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks but no, I don't like the solutions they have chosen for that camera. Also the camera is in such a need for external parts to work for a photographer like me. But thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted February 11, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2013 Aye it is an odd odd camera. I have always enjoyed the XDCam series offerings from Sony myself; but I'm not sure on their prices these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Odell Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 SI-2K is a bit special with ergonomics but has a great texture in the images. Any one here shot a doc or a longer project with one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
