The Alexa's ... Upgraded

Well... Seems Arri and Codex has fused their products into one and has upgraded the former's digital cinema camera solution - The Arri Alexa camera's to the new Arri Alexa XR and XT. Now old alexa users will be allowed to upgrade ( dont know whether for free :) ) their model's to xr model's which will feature an internal codex onboard capture drive that will capture ARRIRAW data into the 512 gig drive upto 120 fps 2.8k Res.

Now that's cool thought by arri but still they are yet to come up with any camera shooting above 3k digital in this age when Red has already released their first screengrabs from the new Red Dragon which shoots 6k at a staggering 86 fps. Still i keep fingers crossed for the 4k arri that's long due...

To the alexa owners in india... primarily prime focus and anand cine service.. have a good time upgrading your camera's... Upcoming features shot on Arri Alexa in India :
