Camera Purchase
Camera Purchase
FYI, camera purchase is normally not part of a production budget while camera rental is. Professional film cameras are very expensive so unless you are a studio with a slate of films to produce, rental is much more economic. As a matter of fact, if you are going to shoot Panavision, you have no choice, as they do not sell their cameras, they only rent. So, an answer to your question is to rent your camera gear and put the rest of the $150K in to other parts of your budget. JimT
