Question

Camcorders that natively save to ProRes

Sep 26, 2011 6:48AM PDT

I attended a workshop on the wonderful Arri Alexa camcorder which, in addition to being able to shoot video in RAW (think 10 Gigs/minute data space) can also save files natively in the ProRes codec (at a big space savings).

Anything cheaper?

I can rent an Alexa also. Anything that can be bought for under 5K (for personal use)?

So far.

I'm only seeing folk rent these things. 5K doesn't go far in the big pro camcorders.
