Description
Everything you need to know about every camera worth using.
"How much drive space will I need for this Alexa Mini LF shoot?”
"What's the dynamic range of the Venice 2?”
“How long will these batteries last me on a C300 Mk III?”
"How big is this ProRes file going to be when I export?”
If you've ever asked these questions, this is the app for you. Whether you’re making decisions on set, troubleshooting in an edit bay, or figuring out which camera to buy, we’ve got you covered. Search over 150 cameras with a list that includes Arri, Canon, Red, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic and more. Or browse by format, from standards like ProRes and DNxHR to the newer Blackmagic Raw and ProRes Raw.
SPECS
Includes dynamic range, sensor size, native ISO, lens mounts, resolutions, maximum FPS and a link to the manufacturer's website for firmware & manuals.
STORAGE
Determine how much footage you can fit on your camera card or hard drive-- or how much storage space you'll need for a given recording time.
TRANSFER
Predict just how long it will take to move your files, whether you’re transferring to a drive or over the internet.
POWER
Estimate how long your batteries will last, or how many you'll need for a shoot, with the option to factor in accessories like your monitor or wireless transmitter.
SENSOR
See the sensor size for the current resolution and compare sensors between cameras.
COMPATIBILITY
See how well each camera and format performs with the latest versions of Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Assimilate Scratch and DaVinci Resolve. Also see if it's been approved by Netflix for original programming.
AND MORE
Jot down observations and anything you want to remember about a camera with Notes. Compare specs or any other tool like Storage or Compatibility. Save your calculations and return to them later with a tap. Mark any camera as a favorite for quick access.

-Andy Johnson, Netflix

-Richard Lackey, CineD

Ratings and Reviews
Use this app daily
I work with so many cameras that this is invaluable and I use it daily on set and sometimes even if post. This is worth every penny. It improves my workflow and quality of work on set. One improvement id like to see is a direct link or something to a working manual. It’s a big ask but in a perfect world i would have that.
A good tool if you don’t mind buying the lifetime license
I originally wrote a review with 1 star because it only was allowing me to subscribe to the app in monthly or yearly payments. Upon being contacted by the developer, they let me know there is a lifetime license purchase to buy the app for $50. It seems a bit steep for someone like me who would maybe use the app a handful of times over the course of several years, so I think this app just isn’t meant for someone like me. I’d probably purchase the lifetime license if it was around $20, but $50 is just too rich for my blood, and that’s ok. If you use tons of cameras and lenses and film all the time, this app seems really solid, if not just a tad expensive.
Developer Response ,
Hi! There's a lifetime purchase option right below the subscription option. Let me know if that doesn't show up for you!
Excellent app
This app has everything a filmmaker, videographer, or anyone interested in buying a camera could want. All important details of a product can be compared to another product, side-by-side. For the professional or amateur photographer, this is also an indispensable app.
