SONY
PMW-500
Due to the colour LCD viewfi nder and simple menu structure, which is familiar to EX1, EX3 and DSR operators, the PMW-500 is proving to be one of the most versatile cameras on the market. From ob docs such as Brixham Fish Town (Men- torn) to location reality shooting on Ship- wrecked (RDF), the SxS workfl ow, low power consumption and light weight of this camera make it perfect for a large range of applications.

CANON XF305
This has been the fastest and strongest uptake of a small- format camera since the Z1. Low-cost media enables produc- tions to adopt a workfl ow that is familiar, while transitioning into the world of tapeless cameras.

ANGENIEUX OPTIMO DP 30-80MM
With a constant zoom speed of T2.8, these are being used with many S35 cameras. For opera- tors used to a broadcast style of shooting, they offer familiar ‘digital cinema’ style for TV.

SONY PMW-F3 WITH S-LOG
The F3 has fi nally established itself as a contender for the Alexa’s crown. Even if you don’t use the 4:4:4 capabilities, the increased sensitivity and contrast latitude is worth the extra money.

TECPRO FELLONI DIMMABLE LED PANELS
With a detachable remote dim- mer and colour temperature selector panel, these are fast overtaking the Diva Lite as the camera-op-in-the-know’s go-to pop-up light of choice.
