The Camera Strength Chart 2024, exclusively developed by YMCinema Magazine, provides the ultimate breakdown of the most used cinema cameras in the narrative feature selections of the top global film festivals: Sundance, Cannes, TIFF, and the Academy Awards. By synthesizing the data from over 220 films, this chart highlights which cameras are currently leading the creative charge in professional filmmaking. Unsurprisingly, ARRI dominates—but the nuanced differences between festivals, and the rise (or fall) of competing brands like RED, Canon, Sony, and Panavision, offer a deeper look into the mindset of top-tier cinematographers today.
