 TIPS FROM THE TECH

If your project has no need for high resolution recording (more than 2k) then this is your go-to camera. The Alexa produces rich images recorded with the easy-to-work-with ProRes codec. This camera is built solid for durability, but it can be a bit heavy and cumbersome for handheld use. If your project calls for handheld shots you may want to consider the Amira, but if the camera will live on sticks or be in a studio setting the Alexa is a proven success.
