WHAT IS THE ARRI D-21 CAMERA?

The Arri D-21; not unlike the Panavision Genesis is also at the very high end of Digital Film cameras.

The Arri D-21 has an optical viewfinder which means that it has a spinning mirror shutter just like a film camera.

The D-21 has a PL mount which is found on all Arri 35mm film cameras and can accommodate any of the Arri and or PL mounted lenses made by Cooke and Angenieux.

The ASA of the D-21 is around 200.

The D-21 records to Flash Memory or HDCAM-SR.

WHAT IS THE PANAVISION GENESIS CAMERA?

The Genesis Camera is made by Panavision and can really be called a Digital Film Camera.

Panavision did a brilliant thing here and made a camera that their current and future customer base could use with only a lateral learning curve involved.

The Genesis utilizes all of the same PV mounted Panavision lenses that work on their line of film cameras.

The Genesis has a Super 35mm sized sensor and is capable of shooting at up to 50FPS.

The sensor in the Genesis is rated at 400 ASA ( thats why we call it a digital film camera)

and with the ability to open the shutter to 360deg. 

The Genesis can record to HDCAM-SR tape and to the new Panavision SSR-1 Solid State Recorder, which means that it is recording to Flash Memory and NOT spinning drives.
