Francis Ford Coppola gives his answer in the new Zacuto Shootout, choosing in order of preference the Panasonic GH2 (lit by Colt Seaman)
Alexa and Epic
The results are in from Zacuto’s Revenge Of The Great Camera Shootout 2012. The majority of those at the cinema screenings – including Francis Ford Coppola preferred Colt Seaman’s lighting and the capturing of it by the Panasonic GH2.
This choice was above the stiffest possible competition including the Sony F65, Red Epic, Canon C300 and Arri Alexa. There’s a comment from Part 2 which really stands out for me and it sums up the reason EOSHD and my passion to write my GH2 book and the blog exists -
Camera A – Sony F3 ($16,000), shot by Nancy Schreiber ASC
Camera B – Panasonic GH2 ($700), shot by Colt Seaman
Camera C – Red Epic ($58,000), shot by Ryan Walters
Camera D – Apple iPhone 4S ($199/$599 unsubsidized), shot by Michael Koerbel (I think this is both funny and impressive that Zacuto would include it)
Camera E – Canon C300 ($16,000), shot by Polly Morgan
Camera F – Arri Alexa ($60,000), shot by Rodney Charters
Camera G – Canon 7D ($1500), shot by Michael Negrin ASC
Camera H – Sony F65 ($65,000), shot by a “Sony Approved Cinematographer”
Camera I – Sony FS100 ($5,000), shot by Den Lennie & Mick Jones
