Everything you need to know about every camera worth using. "How much drive space will I need for this Alexa 35 shoot?” "What's the dynamic range of the Venice 2?” “How long will these batteries last me on a Komodo?” "How big is this file going to be when I export?” If you've ever asked these questions, this is the app for you. Whether you’re making decisions on set, troubleshooting in an edit bay, or figuring out which camera to buy, CameraKit has you covered. Search over 200 cameras with a list that includes Arri, Canon, Red, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic and more. All specs and data sourced by hand: no AI means no hallucinations. SPECS Includes dynamic range, sensor size, native ISO, lens mounts, resolutions, video outputs, maximum FPS and a link to the manufacturer's website for firmware & manuals. STORAGE Determine how much footage you can fit on your camera card or hard drive-- or how much storage space you'll need for a given recording time.  TRANSFER Predict just how long it will take to move your files, whether you’re transferring to a drive or over the internet.  POWER Estimate how long your batteries will last, or how many you'll need for a shoot, with the option to factor in accessories like your monitor or wireless transmitter. SENSOR See the sensor size for the current resolution and compare sensors between cameras. COMPATIBILITY See how well each camera and format performs with the latest versions of Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Assimilate Scratch and DaVinci Resolve.

Dehancer Color Test is based on the color perception study by co-founders of Dehancer Pavel Kosenko, Nailya Safarova & Denis Svinarchuk, experts in Image Processing. This experimental tool helps you determine how many colours you perceive under different colour target display conditions. The test results include two values: 1. The number of colors you can perceive It is an index of color perception involving short-term memory. In simpler terms, it represents the ability of aesthetic perception under momentary examination. The result depends on the visual experience and your demand for colour nuance. You can take this test regularly to improve your perceptual vision. 2. The current effectiveness of your perception relative to your theoretical potential With some reservations, the potential represents the limit of your physiological ability, as measured at the level of the sensory visual system. Sensory vision is also trainable, but to a lesser extent. Perception depends on lighting conditions, physical and emotional state, and effort. Also, the results may vary over time and as your visual experience improves. The testing method is part of a live experiment, so we admit measurement inaccuracies. The statistics we collect do not contain personal data and are stored in anonymized form. This app is not intended for medical diagnosis. Any result is normal and reflects your personal demand for nuanced color perception. Dehancer’s mission is to preserve the aesthetic heritage by means of digital tools for color correction and lifelike emulation of analog processes and effects.
