How much does it cost to purchase a Panavision film camera used for movies?





I know it will be expensive.....I just want a round figure....|||Film cameras used in movies (such as those made by Panavision, Arriflex, etc.) are much much more expensive than digital cameras. The primary format used on most big movie productions is 35mm film cameras. The cheapest you'll ever see those things go for is around $20,000, but most movies will use ones that are tens of thousands $ more. I'll estimate that the average is about $60,000-70,000. Cheaper, not as good, format are 16mm film cameras. They cannot get footage like the higher definition 35mm cameras, but were commonly used by independent filmakekers- at least before the emergence of HD in digital. The 16mm cameras go for prices almost reasonable. I have seen some for as little as $4,000, but they too can be much more expensive, well into the $10,000's.


65mm cameras, also used by movie studios are much better and much more expensive than even the 35mm. I believe they are used on productions to be released in imax theaters. I really have no idea how much these things would go for.|||http://purchasemovies.net/
