ARRI ALEXA

Introduced in 2010, the ARRI ALEXA is a digital cinema camera that rapidly became the industry standard for high-end film and television production. Its large-format sensor and proprietary ALEV color science produced an image quality that many cinematographers considered closer to film than any preceding digital system. It has been used to shoot Academy Award-winning films including Gravity, Birdman, and Parasite.
