Cinematic film camera for a realistic price?

Idunno330ByIdunno330

Hi! Do you have any recommendations for a camera (which can cost up to 1500 euros) suitable for filming feature films? So, cinematic cameras?

Ideally with acceptable slow-motion, image stabilization, and good autofocus. Ideally, it wouldn't be a super small camera, because I prefer cameras that require both hands to hold. It feels better. Please tell me the best I can get for this price (and that would be the Magnum Opus, if the camera were compatible with the Helios 44m lens).

suitable for filming feature films?

Image stabilization and good autofocus.

you have two things that contradict each other now!

you are looking for both in professional cinema cameras in vain! An Arri or RED with which the most SPiel films are filmed have no AUtofocus, since one focuses manually, because one wants to have control over the sharpness and also wants to put the sharpness and blur where one wants to have it and also does not want the camera to start the focus search when someone runs through the picture or when the action moves from the center to the edge…

Generally, your whole article reads more like you’re looking for the egg-staining wool milk sow, but please in vegans and plastic…

What are you doing with the camera?

Maybe you’re looking at them Sigma fp on. Maybe you can even find a pair of 1,500,-

However, your load book contains a few points that do not fit completely plausible with the basic object camera for a feature film.

  • Image stabilization – will not be used or Even shut off because this can lead to undesirable effects when the camera is on a tripod. From the hand you will film with a gimbal. But the fp has stabilization and it is adjustable.
  • What you hold with both hands after that is the Rigg which you build around the camera and not the camera itself.
  • Autofocus is like someone else has written something for photos. When filming, it’s just annoying. The fp has a
  • Helios 44 this is an old film lens with m42 thread??? … M42 can be adapted to L-Mount (the connection of the fp) via adapter. With such a lens, of course, you don’t have autofocus with any camera.

Otherwise I would be very close to Uneternal with my advice. It is a considerably longer lever to put the budget in a gimbal, tripod, light, microphone, sound recording device etc than in the camera.

Cinematic films do not make the camera, but the cameraman and the one who cuts the film.

That’s why there are also quite doll cinematic films made with an iPhone:

Just as it is not enough to create a camera for “Cinematic Look” is not enough for you to create a screen and a brush for a “Artgalerie Look”. You still lack a few crucial things, and they call themselves talent, know-how and experience.

Therefore, my advice would be: try to put something on your feet with a convenient device or even with a mobile phone. You better invest the 1000€ in light, sound and gimbal first.
