In the last few years, new digital cameras simulating the film’s field depth permit to recreate, for a low cost, the fullness of image that is a characteristic of films shot on moving film. These cameras change our way of doing things. Four of these machines, from professional to domestic quality (Red Epic, Sony NEX-FS100UK, Canon T3i, Nikon D3100), will be tested in order to show their strengths and weaknesses, from shooting to postproduction. A practical and interactive workshop for all those who work with a camera.
