Show notes We are waiting for access to a monochrome D16 in order to shoot a quick native B&W D16 vs. desaturated color D16 to illustrate the difference between the cameras. Quickly here's the real advantages of a native monochrome camera - No CFA (color filter array), this means greater sensitivity on the D16 maximum ISO jumps from 400 to 800. - More visible resolution. - More accurate total range. The links below all illustrate some of these facts, for a generally more scientific explanation of what is happening at the imaging sensor level, I recommend looking at the Red.com link below. Here are the links to the current crop of native monochrome digital cinema cameras, and their associated purchase price ranges: Arri Alexa XT B&W (Rental Only) Red Epic Monochrome $25,000 - $45,000 Digital Bolex D16M $3,799 - $4,299 Listen to the Podcast
