Equipment

Sony XDCAM HD, Digital Betacam, DVCAM and Time Lapse cameras

and introducing the Hyper 35

Hyper 35 Camera ENG rig
The Hyper 35 is a Hybrid of the Canon 5MKII and a Sony Betacam

At the heart of the Hyper 35 is the Canon 5DMKII, a camera that is the biggest breakthrough since the introduction of the Betacam in the 1980's. The camera stretches the palette a stop and a half beyond 35mm Anamorphic to rival the look of 70mm but with shallower depth of field producing motion picture images of outstanding three dimensional quality. (3D movies would also benefit with greater depth from the larger capture frame)
