Camera Introduction

Camera Introduction

In our last lesson we were introduced to the camera studio. The studio contained 3 professional cameras all capable of filming in HD quality. We learnt the ins and outs of filming and are now all capable of doing the basic functions of using these cameras. 

Sony Nx5: The Sony Nx5 is the biggest out of the three. It is known for being more sturdy than the other cameras, therefore is used in more unsafe environments (compared to the other cameras). For example many camera men used the Nx5 in the London riots in 2012 as it is also fairly easy to carry around. It costs around £2,500 which is slightly less than the other two cameras.

Canon EOS 5D: The Canon EOS 5D is the smallest and most compact camera out of the three. This camera is different as it is not specifically built for filming, like the other two. What makes this camera so special is its 5D13 zoom lens. Personally I find this camera has the best quality and I look forward to using it in my future filming.



Sony FS700: The Sony FS700 is made for motion picture shooting. It has a useful zoom feature which would come in handy when filming close ups.
