Zacuto’s Great Camera Shootout ’08 from Steve Weiss, Zacuto USA on Vimeo.

When DP Joe Stunzi came to Chicago to test all of the new HD cameras on the market against each other, he initially had hopes of making a short video using the new Canon 5D Mark II.  However, Zacuto’s Steve Weiss, Jens Bogehegn & Scott Lynch decided that another 5D MKII fluff piece is not what was needed.

“We needed to see the 5DMKII in relation to other cameras”, says Steve Weiss.  So the “Great Camera Shootout of ’08” was born.

In this video you will hear Joe, Steve, Jens & Scott discuss what they liked and disliked about each of the HD cameras and DOF adapters.

“This test is really for independent filmmakers and web cinematographers who are creating content with the look and feel of a 35mm motion picture.”

In this video you will see a same shot comparison of: 35mm motion picture, RED, EX3, HVX200, HPX170, HPX3000, Sony EX3, Nikon D90, Canon 5D Mark II, Letus35 Ultimate and Elite DOF adapters, RedRock Micro and more. Follow a discussion by four filmmakers ranging in age from 18-46. They discuss what’s best. You won’t believe the conclusions.
