These terms will appear frequently throughout the book, but some terms are specific to a section and will be defined later. We are going to discuss some very technical aspects of camera technology so it’s relevant to define some key terms. This book will analyze the four components to sensor quality and what the practical effects are on your image or any image you’re viewing. I will discuss what Hollywood professionals use and how they utilize high quality sensors. This book also focuses mostly on cinema cameras, as those are my specialty, but much of what I write can be applied to any digital camera. A great filmmaker can make any sensor seem good with great filmmaking techniques but having a great sensor doesn’t hurt either. However, I will mostly focus on things that the camera sensor gives you. There are other components to making a final video with that Hollywood je ne sais quoi that every videographer and filmmaker wants like composition, lighting, and camera moves. This book will dive into camera sensors and discuss what I believe to be the four main components to image quality: resolution, dynamic range, color reproduction/bit depth, and low-light performance. A lot of what I’ll cover applies to photography, but just be aware I plan to focus on video. That’s actually what I want to focus on – video. It depends on the technology the manufacturer is using, but also the camera used to capture the footage you’re watching. ![]() They say, It has 24 megapixels, that’s good right? and I would say, Yeah in a way.ĭuring my time at retail outlet Sam’s Club, I would often get people asking if a particular technology (HDR, 4k, etc.) resulted in the best image quality, and I would say that it depends. But if you want to have an idea about how it’s done for 120 film, Hamm Camera Company offers to let you in on the basics with a new camera called the PinBox. Pinhole cameras are essentially easy to make, especially when you’re making them for 35mm film. They would get a new Canon Rebel T6i and assume it can do it all. The PinBox is a medium format DIY pinhole camera that teaches you just that. The idea was the result of having to explain to friends and family what makes a camera good.
