Danzer Media Approved Cinema Camera List

  • Blackmagic Pocket 4K/6K
  • Blackmagic Ursa (All Models)
  • Sony FX5
  • Any Sony w/ External RAW Recording Setup & the ability to disable Noise Reduction
  • Arri Amira
  • Arri Alexa (All Models)

Other cameras may also be usable, on request. The biggest priority for any camera is the ability to shoot a RAW or semi-RAW codec, closely followed by the ability to retain image post-processing options for the colorist (so, for example, the automatic, non-disableable internal noise reduction common on most Sony cameras is a non-starter). Beyond that, actual camera image characteristics start to matter (i.e. Arri cameras reign supreme).
