Forget the Scarlet and the C300

check out these alternative weird ass HD cameras!

First a little moan..

I’m not a big fan of the C300 for the following reasons

It’s over priced
Over crank is only 720p
That view finder thing at the back looks awkward
It does look a little too plastic
Not sure I like the image…

and the Scarlet..

Only at 4k are you using the full field of your lenses. The higher the frame rate, the higher the crop in on the sensor. So
you cant do any wide angle slo-mo, FAIL!

I also hate the fact I’m forced to buy everything RED just to make the thing work
I’m not a fan of the RED RAW work flow

Still nothing compares to the simplicity and film like images of the Alexa

However… what other weird and wonderful options are out there…?

First up is the Yolk y2. Not sure if it’s even in production. Looks like a futuristic Aaton to me

Next up is the DC2K/HS. Apparently it will record Up to 120min record time @ 500 fps. Not sure if this even exists???

This Kinor “AREOCAM” has the most insane specs ever….

1/ Aerocam XV fastest such camera in world with 120 fps on 127 Mpixel
wich is possible to use with high speed with up to 2000km/h
2/Aerocam XP with largest resolution in the world – 384 mpixel with 1,6fpx
