Today’s question comes from a young College Intern: “I’ve heard that TV shows are no longer going to use film. I understand that they are going to shoot on Digital cameras, is that true? If so, what Digital cameras are they going to use?”
Not all TV shows are being shot digital, but it does seem to be a very popular option this television season. I don’t know if this is simply a phase or a trend or the way of the future. I believe many people think that shooting digitally is going to save a lot of money. Unfortunately, the film makers end up shooting a lot more material when it’s “only tape”. We’ll see what happens, only time will tell.
As for cameras, it seems that right now the most popular are the Arri D-21 (top), Sony F-35 (center) and the Panavision Genesis (bottom).
Besides these three, there are plenty of other excellent cameras out there.

Nicely put. Those are some very cool looking cameras AND lenses.
Gotta love this new technology!
