ARRIFLEX D-21

The Film Style Digital Camera

The ARRIFLEX D-21 combines leading edge digital technology with film camera features that have been refined over ARRI’s 90-year history. This allows directors and cinematographers to shoot in the same way as they would with 35 mm film, while taking advantage of the immediacy and economy of digital acquisition.

As the top of the line digital camera from ARRI, the market leader in profes­sional imaging, it is equipped with a number of unique features: an optical viewfinder, the MscopeTM anamorphic output, a 4:3 format sensor, simple operation and an unequalled film-like image quality. In addition, the D-21 is the only camera capable of simultaneously outputting raw data and HD.

The bright optical viewfinder has zero delay, works without power and shows an image area outside the primary image. Through ARRI Imaging Technology (AIT), the camera produces brilliant images with a cinematic look and feel, a high dynamic range, high contrast and the most film-like motion and color reproduction of any digital motion picture camera.

The camera's single, Super 35-sized CMOS sensor exhibits the same cinematic depth of field as 35 mm film. The industry standard PL lens mount accepts the same vast variety of prime, zoom and specialty film lenses used on 35 mm film cameras.
