#3 Arri Alexa - Top Ten Cameras of the Digital Age

One cannot make a list about digital cameras with out putting the Arri Alexa on it. I will admit that it’s original price point does put it a bit out of range for most owner-operators, but the influence it has had on all modern cameras is unmistakable. Even the second-hand and third-hand buyers of the used camera market will attest to the Arri Alexa’s high level of performance, ten years after it’s initial release. Arri specialized in and produced the industry standard film cameras before the Arri Alexa. It was Arri’s first attempt at a digital cinema camera, and it set the bar for what a digital camera could be. Cinematographers, over the past 100 years, pioneered and developed the beautiful image qualities of film. The Arri Alexa was built to maintain these qualities in a digital form, and was renown for it’s highlight roll-off, and latitude, which was previously only possible on film. It is also an absolute tank, which makes it super durable. Even “the Deak” (Roger Deakins) proclaimed that film was dead after using the Arri Alexa and I quote, “This camera has brought us to a point where digital is simply better”. End quote. Need I say more?
