ACQUISITION
NIKON Z9 8K 60p CINEMATIC CAMERA
The Nikon Z9 is a professional mirrorless camera equipped with a 45.7-megapixel full-frame sensor. It’s exposed from the rear and, as a stacked sensor, also has an additional DRAM cache—so, the image converter can be read out faster than conventional sensors. This enables higher frame rates and the use of the electronic shutter without disturbing distortions in moving subjects. On the Z9, Nikon removed any mechanical shutter function.
With an innovative body design that efficiently dissipates heat, the Z9 records 10-bit 8K UHD video at 24, 25, or 30 fps internally for over 2 hours straight—with no risk of overheating from its stacked full-frame CMOS sensor (45.7MP). You can also grab a still from a video shoot by saving a 33-megapixel frame right from the footage.
The Nikon Z9 allows you to record dense 10-bit 4K UHD footage in-camera with full pixel readout from the Z 9’s sensor at 24, 25, 30p as ProRes 422 HQ or H.265 video. You can also shoot 4K UHD slow-motion sequences up to 120p. A 2.3x crop format with a full pixel readout is available for getting closer to your subject without changing lenses.
The Nikon Z9 is adept at shooting video too. At the moment, you can shoot up to 60 full FPS and record RAW videos with full sensor width and 8K resolution. If you love slow motion in 4k or 1080, you’ll be able to record up to 120 full FPS.

Canon C100 MARK II CINEMA CAMERA
The Canon EOS C100 Mark II uses the same Super 35mm Canon CMOS sensor as its big brother, the C300, but uses a Digic DV 4 processor. With an EF lens mount, the camera is compatible with the full range of Canon EF, EF-S, and EF Cinema lenses. The camera uses the AVCHD codec to record 1080p video up to 24 Mbps or MP4 at 35 Mbps. It supports dual SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards which, thanks to the efficient AVCHD codec, allows you to record nearly three hours of HD video on a single 32GB card. For professional applications, you can also record clean, uncompressed 4:2:2 video with embedded timecode via the HDMI output.
With an extended ISO range from 320 to 102,400, the EOS C100 Mark II is even more sensitive to light than its predecessor. This lets you shoot usable footage during low-light and night shoots, even when using available or ambient lighting as your main light source. Being able to operate under lower light levels means you can work quickly with smaller crews and resources, ideal for low-budget and independent filmmakers.
SONY A7S II DIGITAL MIRRORLESS CAMERA
The A7S II offers an impressive blend of sensitivity, dynamic range, resolution, and speed to benefit a versatile multimedia workflow. Revolving around a full-frame 12.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor, the a7S II is capable of internal UHD 4K recording at 30 fps with full pixel readout as well as 1080p recording at up to 120 fps, all in the XAVC S format. For both stills and video recording, the BIONZ X image processor also pairs with the sensor to enable expanded sensitivity to ISO 409600, continuous shooting to 5 fps, and fast intelligent autofocus with low-light sensitivity to -4 EV. Further enabling working in difficult lighting conditions, 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization compensates for vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw, and roll camera movements for sharper, smoother handheld recording.
A 12.2MP full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor work together to enable an expansive dynamic range with minimal noise and notable sensitivity from ISO 100-102400, which is further expandable to ISO 50-409600. Coupled with the large individual pixel size the 12.2MP sensor affords, this camera is well-suited to use in low-light conditions.
GOPRO HERO 9 CAMERAS
The GoPro Hero 9 Black is the most powerful and versatile action camera you can buy. While the new sensor and front display are useful additions, the new changes represent a big leap over the Hero 8 Black. No other
action camera can match the Hero 9 Black's feature set.
The two biggest upgrades are its new sensor and front display. That new 23.6MP sensor shoots 5K video that does deliver
slightly more detail than the Hero 8 Black.
But the bigger benefit is to its electronic stabilization, with the Hero 9 Black able to provide HyperSmooth Boost – GoPro's strongest stabilization – in all shooting modes. This makes it a top performer for those who demand high-quality 4K (and 5K) video.

AERIAL drones
DJI MAVIC 3 PRO
The Mavic 3 Pro from DJI..... at 249 grams (8.8 ounces), the Mini 3 Pro is light enough to avoid most drone regulations. But DJI has managed to fit in a sensor larger than most smartphones, and it also can detect obstacles all around. It offers 4K at 60 fps and 120 fps slow-mo, plus most of the AI features
on the Mavic 3 like ActiveTrack, QuickShots and MasterShots.
The standard Intelligent Flight Battery delivers up to 34 minutes of flight time, according to DJI, but you’ll need to take that figure with a huge grain of salt. We ran it to exhaustion several times and saw about 30 minutes max, with the return to home (RTH) warning kicking in after about 25 minutes.
With a drone so light, those numbers of course depend heavily on wind and other factors.
If that’s not enough, DJI offers the optional Intelligent Flight Battery Plus that boosts endurance to 47 minutes max
(while keeping the weight unchanged), something that’s unprecedented for a drone this size.
DJI MAVIC 2 PRO
The Mavic 2 Pro from DJI is a drone that balances power, portability, and professional-quality visuals with the inclusion of a 20MP Hasselblad L1D-20c gimbal camera. The camera delivers a 1" CMOS 4k sensor with an adjustable f/2.8 to f/11 aperture, support for a 10-bit Dlog-M color profile, and 4K 10-bit HDR video capture.
The Mavic 2 Pro utilizes a low-drag aerodynamic body design for achieving speeds up to 47.7 mph, a four-cell LiPo battery for up to 31 minutes of flight time, and low-noise propellers for filming without being distracting. This power and performance are coupled with a variety of dynamic shooting modes and other capabilities that help us achieve beautiful cinematic results in 4k or HD.
DJI MINI 2
The Mini 2 represents a leap forward for photographers; it is a 12MP 1/2.3-inch sensor with f/2.8 sensor and a 24mm EFL, but, crucially, DNG (Raw) format is available. This is great for enthusiasts and professionals who want or need to spend some time with the best dynamic range available, and further bolstered by the provision of Auto Exposure Bracketing .
The drone does a near-flawless job of stabilizing the camera (a sharp change in speed of travel can catch it unprepared) and screen provides useful over-exposure warning if needed.
The Mavic Mini 2 fits in the palm of your hand and can operate unobtrusively due to its small form factor and high performance propellers.
DJI PHANTOM 4 PRO
The Phantom 4 Pro Version 2 features a 3-axis-stabilized gimbal camera with a 20MP 1" CMOS sensor capable of shooting up to 4K60 fps video and photo bursts at up to 14 fps. It also utilizes the FlightAutonomy system, which includes dual rear-vision sensors and infrared sensing for a total of five directions of obstacle sensing and four directions of obstacle avoidance. Instead of Lightbridge, the Phantom 4 Pro Version 2 now uses Ocusync, which enables improved live video stream performance.
Other notable enhancements include lighter props and reduced
overall takeoff weight, wireless integration with DJI Goggles, and bolstered transmission power.
