Cameras + Formats

Everything you need to know about every camera worth using. "How much drive space will I need for this Alexa Mini shoot?” “How long will these batteries last me on a C300 Mk III?” "What's the dynamic range of the Venice?” "How big is this H.264 file going to be when I export?” If you've ever asked these questions, this is the app for you. Whether you’re making decisions on set, troubleshooting in an edit bay, or figuring out which camera to buy, we’ve got you covered. • Search over 125 cameras with a list that includes Arri, Canon, Red, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic and more. Or browse by format, from standards like ProRes and DNxHR to the newer Blackmagic Raw and ProRes Raw. • Specs include dynamic range, sensor size, native ISO, lens mounts, resolutions, maximum FPS and more. See how well each camera and format performs with the latest versions of Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and DaVinci Resolve. Know if it's been approved by Netflix for original programming. And tap a link to the manufacturer's website for firmware & manuals, and a phone number for support in your country. • Use the Storage tool to determine how much footage you can fit on your camera card or hard drive-- or how much storage space you'll need for a given recording time. The Transfer tool lets you predict just how long it will take to move your files, whether you’re transferring to a drive or over the internet. And the Power tool can tell you how long your batteries will last, or how many you'll need for a shoot, with the option to factor in accessories like your monitor or wireless transmitter. • Jot down observations and anything you want to remember about a camera with Notes. Compare specs or any other tool like Storage or Compatibility. Save your calculations and return to them later with a tap. Mark any camera as a favorite for quick access. And more!
