Lessons Learned from Testing Digital Cameras
Norm (from Jamie and Adam’s Tested) chats with Steve Weiss and Bruce Logan, A.S.C. about Zacuto’s Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout challenge for 2012. Steve Weiss is the co-founder of camera accessory maker Zacuto and Bruce Logan is the famed cinematographer who worked on the original Tron, Star Trek, and Star Wars films. Steve and Bruce talk about the digital cinema cameras they tested and why good technique is so much more important than good
This is what I’m talking about. I’m so sick of spec talk and what’s the best camera. At some point the internet stopped talking about story and technique and focused on camera specs. It’s very annoying.
I just want to make films. This obsession with the “next best thing” needs to stop.
It’s all based on publicity. Pumping out the next best camera which has some improved specs, but not all (the 5D mark iii comes to mind). Just learn the basics and use only what you need.
