Arriflex 20-D: Digital Route to the Look and Feel of 35mm
The Arriflex D-20, a film-style digital camera, has been developed by ARRI, the world’s leading film camera manufacturer. It fulfils numerous requests from industry professionals in terms of picture quality, features and ergonomics, offering a digital route to the distinctive look and feel of motion pictures. The D-20 is well suited for shooting high-profile TV features and dramas, specialized movies, visual effects sequences and certain types of commercials. Basically, it is a camera for anyone wanting a cinematic look, but needing to originate digitally.
ARRI developed the D-20 as a direct response to market demand for a digital camera system which meets exacting production requirements. Although film continues to be the medium of choice for shooting many movies, prime-time television shows and commercials, digital acquisition is offering some attractive possibilities. ARRI feel that professionals working on these projects deserve to have as many of the advantages and conveniences of traditional film camera design as possible - and the D-20 delivers those.
The D-20 is what DoPs have been asking for in a digital camera for years: film friendly, rugged construction, optical viewfinder, 35mm depth of field and no back-focus issues.”
