ARRI ALEXA 35
The 4.6K Super35 ARRI ALEV 4 sensor provides 2.5 stops more dynamic range than previous ALEXA cameras alongside improved low-light sensitivity for cleaner shadows. Its production-ready kit bundles flexible LPL/PL mounting, a CCM-1 monitor, and CODEX drives that capture ARRIRAW or ProRes at up to 120 fps. This camera is best for cinematographers on feature film and commercial shoots where absolute color accuracy and highlight retention are non-negotiable.
