ARRI CSC, representing the ARRI Rental Group in the United States and operating in New York and Florida, has confirmed that Clairmont Camera will have ARRIFLEX D-20 digital imaging systems available for rent in Los Angeles June 2006.
The ARRIFLEX D-20 is a product that is exclusive to the ARRI Rental Group and selected partners. Clairmont Camera, with an extensive track record on the West Coast and in Canada, has not only a comprehensive ARRI film camera inventory but also, a well-established digital imaging department headed by Mike Condon.
The ARRIFLEX D-20 is a film style digital camera
. Because of its single, Super 35-sized CMOS sensor, the D-20 uses the same lenses as 35mm film cameras and has the same depth of field as 35mm film. It has an optical viewfinder, is capable of variable frame rates and is compatible with ARRI film camera accessories. It outputs either through an HDTV signal in HD Mode or via raw sensor information in Data Mode.
Having shared with Clairmont Camera the introduction of the NAC K4 "Tornado" high speed digital camera into the United States, the management of ARRI CSC felt that continuing that relationship with the initial ARRIFLEX D-20 systems available in North America was a natural progression.
