Is Super 35 better than full frame?

Why cinema cameras are so expensive?

The single most expensive part in any video camera is usually the sensor, and there are very big differences in image quality when using different sensors which come at very different price points. There are also some really big differences in manufacturing quality, also in the materials used.

What is a disadvantage of a full frame sensor camera?

With a larger field of view comes the ability to see more of the set. This means sets will have to be larger and more detailed. It also becomes harder to achieve a tight shot. In full frame, a 125mm lens is equivalent to an 85mm in Super 35mm.

Why is it called Super 35?

What’s the difference between 35mm and Super 35?

Super 35 (originally known as Superscope 235) is a motion picture film format that uses exactly the same film stock as standard 35 mm film, but puts a larger image frame on that stock by using the space normally reserved for the optical analog sound track.

Can you use a full-frame lens on Super 35? I only just now learned this. If you want to use manual photo lenses on super 35 or smaller you need a dedicated speedbooster to get the full sharpness the lens is capable of. Or you would need a video camera that has a full frame sensor.
