There are many factors that determine the quality of a video. Factors like content, color tone, production value all play a crucial role in determining the final output. However, keeping aside all other aspects, it is the camera that holds the edge over the other. Of course, other factors too have a large role in it but it is the onus of the camera to kickstart the proceedings. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most top-notch cameras used by popular video production Orlando.
Panasonic GH4:
It is truly a powerful camera especially when you have a limited budget. It has the ability to shoot both still photos and video. Its video quality is scintillating, as it can capture UHD at 24-30fps and full 4K at 24fps. Please note that it is a Micro Four-Thirds camera, so, if you currently use EF lenses, you’ll need to purchase an adaptor.
Sony Alpha A7RII:
A very popular camera in the video production industry owing to its performance. It uses the Sony E-Mount, the a7RII which can record full 4K HD internally as compared to the a7S or the Sony FS700, which tends to use an external recorder. One of the major USP of this camera is that it can shoot up to 60fps in 1080p and 120fps in 720p. When compared to Canons flagship model the Mark 3, this Sony cam is ahead of it. Without a doubt, this camera boasts of some other fantastic features too.
Canon 5D Mark 4:
The eye candy of every Canon loyalists, Canon 5D Mark 4 is equally popular as compared to its predecessors. This camera is quite a rage across the globe and has been used extensively for filming documentaries, short films, and big budget films. A very reliable gear that churns out splendid imagery and has withstood the test of times. Thus, if you are interested in starting a production house with Canon productions, then this is the perfect model to start off.
BlackmagicUrsaMini:
The URSA mini is yet another strong camera that is known for its super performance especially with its incredible shift in size and weight compared to the URSA. It uses a 35mm sensor in either 4K with 12 stops of dynamic range or 4.6K with 15 stops of dynamic range. Both can capture 4k at 60fps and HD at 120fps
Sony FS7 Super 35:
Once again, a Sony model making it to our list but there’s a strong reason behind it. The image quality of this camera is exceptional and has 14 stops of dynamic range, which is truly commendable. Another USP of this cam is the fact that this camera can record 4K internally unlike its predecessor the Sony FS700. As far as the video is concerned, It can capture 4K up to 60fps and ultra HD up to 180fps. One of the drawbacks of this model though is that it uses Sony proprietary XQD memory cards, which are quite expensive.
