Cameras



This is only a partial list of common cameras an independent filmmaker is most likely to use. It is also still under construction and only has a few links. (Guess which ones they are and win fabulous non-existent prizes!)

Specs and diagrams are taken from The Professional Cameraman's Handbook by Verne and Sylvia Carlson, unless otherwise noted.

Photos are temporarily unavailable until copyright issues get resolved.
