2024 CML Camera/Lighting Tests – Cameras and Lights Tested

These are the cameras and lights tested together in Part 1 of our 2024 tests. The “Slate / File IDs” column lists shorthand IDs used in test slates and/or as filename fragments for the video clip, still frame, and meter data files. The “More Info” column links to manufacturers’ websites — all links worked as of 2024-09-25 but are not guaranteed in perpetuity!

Lights

Light engine LED colors listed when published by manufacturer. R = red, RR = two different reds, G = green, B = blue, BB = two different blues, W = unspecified white phosphor(s), WW = cool & warm white phosphors, A = amber, C = cyan, L = lime. Bi-color usually means warm & cool white phosphor LEDs alone, but some bi-color lights now offer G/M adjustments, so there must be other colors in the mix...
