Talk:Arriflex D-20

CMOS Disambiguation
Should CMOS link to CMOS or Active pixel sensor? See CMOS (disambiguation) for more information. -Fadookie Talk 03:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Data output... disabled
"At present the Data output and variable speed capabilities of the camera are disabled, awaiting upgrades from Arri. The CMOS sensor in the D-20 is one of the least sensitive in its league of digital cameras."

I'm unsure about the accuracy of this nowadays - it may be outdated. I'm no expert on cameras, so beware that I may be speaking out of my ass.

However, we were shooting pretty low-light for Payne and Redemption, and it handled it beautifully.

And we had it displayed on a HD screen, so I'm unsure what other "data output" this could be talking about.

But like I said, this is totally not my field. Maybe clarify the line, for those of us who know nothing? DewiMorgan 16:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Given the specs say "Sensitivity: Setting for 50, 100, 200 and 320 ISO (ASA) available" from http://www.arri.com/prod/cam/d_20/tech_spec.htm so I removed the line "The CMOS sensor in the D-20 is one of the least sensitive in its league of digital cameras. At present, the camera is rated nominally at ISO 120" since 120 isn't even listed. Though you should never believe the spec, they have at least a little more weight than an unsourced claim like that.

Also removed the "At present the D-20 is very much a camera in development" line, since that's just plain negative personal opinion.

Also, I suspect the original claim about ISO 120 was about the HV 20 not the Arri D20, probably coming from http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/archive/index.php/t-93493.html DewiMorgan 20:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well the D-20 was a prototype camera and wasn't for sale because of that and they have now updated it to D-21 so I would say it was very much a camera in development. This page is by the way alot of out of date because they updated the camera. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.209.12.82 (talk) 19:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Why did ARRI discontinued the D-20 camera as I am lost it was out for only less than 2 years.

Even through it is not a film camera but the digitial world is becoming stronger especially with the Red One being the new standard.--71.95.140.176 (talk) 16:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
