Sony Digital Cinema Camera F23 : DigInfo

DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv

The F23 is the highest-end digital cinema camera in the CineAlta family. This model has high-quality design and operability that enable a film camera type shooting style, provides color reproduction and speed effects required in movies and commercials and ensures efficient production workflow.

The compact size and high level mobility of this camera are achieved by directly docking the HDCAM-SR portable recorder SRW-1, which is regarded as the top-end HD format, to the short camera body. High compatibility is also maintained with a wide range of film-camera accessories, and the model also features an SR Motion function that can shoot films with fast forward and slow motion speed effects similar to film cameras at full resolution HD.

Equipped with the latest 2/3 progressive 3CCD, a 14-bit A/D converter, and the industry-leading DSP (Digital Signal Processor), the F23 uses the latest digital technology to expand the dynamic range and provide high definition images.

What is the point of this camera when you can just get a RED or one of those other 4K camera?

The only advantage as far as I can see, is that you can change the tape over when your run over 40 minutes. This camera would probably only get used for TV and Ads.

Why doesn't anyone look at the post date?! This was one of the best cameras back then :P

[dafreeesubsman]

All this for just HD resolution? It's an assload of money for a camera that can not shoot at least 2-4k!

CINEMA, means FILM, SPOOLS and MECHANICAL CAMERAS and PROJECTORS!! Not that FUCKING VIDEOTRASH!!

My opinion as a Filmprojectonist

[BlackPlanetFilms]

if they camera is sooo good then why is the video quality TRASH

For low light, I'd get PD170, or the ultimate DVCAM camera, the 400 or 450WSL. I don't think HiDef camera is the best choice for low light. Smaller pixels, mean higher noise and less sensitivity. On the other hand, in great light, even an amateur A1U or HD1000U do admirably. But for low light, again, an older DV camcorder with CCD sensor does better. Anyway, each camera has its own use.

If I had the money, I'd like to have the new 650F. I don't care much for 24p and cinematic look. A good broadcast quality camera would be fine for me. As a poor man's choice, I am salivating over S270, even though I know it's a toy compared with the HDCAM. But, the S270 has all the right switches in the right places, so it's a reasonable toy. And I had a chance to shoot with Z5U, which has the same sensors as the S270. I must admit those sensors are quite decent actually.

You wouldn't shoot with the red in low light, so I don't think noise is much of issue. Plain HDCAM is 1440x1080, HDCAM SR is 1920x1080. People who want cinema-scope, end up chopping the image to 1920x800. I would get an SRW-9000 over a RED because I like the idea of having footage on that's worked for years rather than an untrustworthy drive or bit of plastic, but I'm stuck in the HDV and XDcam price range.

compact size lol

You are confusing digital shooting with Digital effects, the look of 300 is created with digital effects the actual shooting was done on film. King Kong looked how it did because it was done with stop motion and other in camera trickery, the modern King Kong was achieved through Computer animation.
