Arri has revealed its first documentary-style
shoulder-mount digital camera: the Amira, which takes the sensor and many
features of its Alexa, and adds such things as in-camera colour grading and 200
frames per second shooting.
“Everyone wants the Alexa image quality, but said make the
camera smaller, lighter and more affordable,” said Stephan Shenk, Arri’s
general manager, camera division. “But not too small or too light, as
documentary shooting often involves large lenses that need to be balanced.”
