What is your DREAM camera set up?!?!

I already have my dream camera (Toyo 45 GII), now all I need is a few grand for the Rodenstock lenses I want.

Both are ridiculously expensive, but the second setup is about 1/10 the price.

 
shits been posted already. im not going to go any further. I shouldn't be critiquing you on your personal dream setup.
 
Exactly nothing will ever beable to totally duplicate film. It's totally unique. You can always say files are "RAW" but they're still compressed in there own format whether it's ArriRAW, 444, REDCODE....etc

While film clearly will fade away at some point, there is just something unique and incredible about working with film.
 
it all depends on the situation, id rather work with a red epic than 35mm film. Of course, working with film in the right situation would be amazing but as i am now, i want digital.
 
I see what you're saying, and if I was working as a one man band i'd want to work with digital too. But with an unlimited budget, having a crew to do most of the grunt work, i'd definitely choose film
 
so now it sounds like you dissing my opinion? I just said i shouldnt judge you for wanting to work with film and now you make this comment that implies that film is better than all the possibilities of digital cinematography. personally i would choose many other setups beforehand. PERSONALLY. not for you. for me.
 
You dissed his opinion first.

incase you forgot "ew"

Film isn't the easiest medium. That is clear. It's expensive and timely. But it is beautiful. We'd all love an Epic, but this thread is labled...."Dream Camera" which I'm assuming in the perfect scenario that is what he'd want to shoot. I don't blame him. I'd probably pick an Arri S35 camera in my dream scenario as well. But with my current workflow... It would now doubt be an Epic, and I'm getting closer :)
 
same but id add a crane, stablizer chest mounted type of thing, tripod, a bunch of lenses, a seperate mic, lighting, a copter to get thoes nice arial views, and random other shit i could find plus its aways good to have a dslr so canon 5d mrk ll
 
I already have my dream set up, but if I could add just a few more it would be these, especially the Contax.

If I had all the money in the world for a camera I would call up sony,canon, or red and tell them to research the ultimate camera for trillions of dollars and just for me haha
 
The Contax is just all around amazing. For one thing, it shoots one of my favorite formats, 645. It uses all Zeiss glass. It's pretty lightweight considering it's size and construction (has some carbon fiber). You can switch from 120 to 220 film with just a pressure plate, no need for multiple backs just for sizes. It has a meter. It has autofocus. It also has a vacuum system which maximizes sharpness because it keeps the film flat.

And I think the Hasselblad XPan would be fun to mess around with.
 
720p at 720fps

1024p at 500fps

up to 20,000 fps at lower resolutions

it's no phantom, but it would be pretty fun to shoot with I think. it's also like 1/10 the cost
