	Movies - Arriflex D-20

The Arriflex D-20 is a film-style digital high definition movie camera made by Arri first introduced in November 2005. The camera's unique advantage is the size and type of its sensor. Instead of a standard CCD, the new Arriflex uses a single CMOS sensor, which has the size of a Super 35-width gate framed to Academy ratio (1.37). This 35mm-like frame means that identical lenses yield the same field of view and depth of field as that of any 35mm film camera. The camera supports 1080p (1920x1080), raw Bayer-data at 12-bits, variable shutter angles (11.2° to 180°), and a range of speeds (1-60 FPS). The optical components of the camera were essentially bastardized from other Arri film camera models (most notably the Arricam, 435 ES, and 535), which enabled quick design on proven parts, and full compatibility with most of the camera accessories already available for the film camera line. The electronic processing units are modularly constructed into three separate processing sections which will allow for the individual sections to be upgraded by Arri as new technologies emerge without needing to design a new camera model from scratch. As of yet, Arri only plans to rent the camera out.

Competition

Other single-chip Super 35 mm film-sized digital movie cameras currently in production and directly in competition with the D-20 include the Panavision Genesis camera and the Dalsa Origin camera.
