The Definitive List Of Every Cinema Camera That Records ProRes Internally

Written by

In this article, I share a definitive list of every available digital video/cinema camera that is capable of recording to ProRes internally.

Almost any camera with a clean HDMI/SDI output can record to ProRes externally, using monitor/recorders like the Atomos Ninja. But very few can record ProRes internally (straight to the memory card in camera), which can be an essential feature.

For instance, if you need to build out a minimalist camera rig in order to keep a small footprint, you might not want to use yet another peripheral device – like an external recorder. Being able to record ProRes straight to your camera helps streamline your workflow both on set and in post.

Most of the cameras on the list below are cinema cameras, but there are a handful of consumer/prosumer level cameras on the list too. It seems that more manufactures are making ProRes a priority, and I hope this trend continues in the future.

For now, the list below represents all available options for recording ProRes internally – from entry level mirrorless cameras to professional cinema offerings, and everything in between.

Cameras That Record ProRes Internally

Please note that each camera on this list offers different flavors of ProRes (from ProRes Proxy to ProRes RAW). So be sure to research any specific camera you are interested in to ensure it meets your technical needs.

    ### 貓飼料選擇指南：如何挑選最適合您愛貓的飼料？

    貓咪是許多家庭的可愛成員，選擇適合的貓飼料不僅能確保牠們健康，還能讓牠們保持快樂。市面上的貓飼料種類繁多，如何找到最適合您愛貓的選擇呢？本文將為您提供一些實用的建議。

    #### 貓飼料的基本類型
    1. **乾飼料（乾糧）**
    – 優點：方便存放、價格相對實惠，有助於清潔貓咪牙齒。
    – 缺點：水分含量低，貓咪需要額外補充水分。

    2. **濕飼料（罐頭或袋裝）**
    – 優點：水分含量高，適合需要額外補水的貓咪，口感較佳。
    – 缺點：開封後需冷藏，保存期限較短。

    3. **冷凍乾燥飼料**
    – 優點：保留了食材的營養，方便攜帶且保存期長。
    – 缺點：價格較高，需用水泡發後餵食。

    4. **生鮮飼料**
    – 優點：最接近貓咪天然飲食習慣，營養豐富。
    – 缺點：需嚴格控溫保存，製作麻煩。

    #### 挑選貓飼料的關鍵因素
    1. **年齡和生命階段**
    – 幼貓、成貓、老年貓的營養需求不同。選擇標示適合該階段的飼料。

    2. **健康狀況**
    – 若貓咪有特殊健康問題（如腎臟病、肥胖或過敏），應選擇專門配方的醫療飼料。

    3. **成分與營養標示**
    – 優質貓飼料的第一項成分應為肉類或魚類，避免含過多填充劑（如玉米、小麥）。

    4. **貓咪的口味偏好**
    – 每隻貓咪的口味都不同，可能需要嘗試多種品牌來找到最受牠們喜愛的選擇。

    5. **品牌信譽與評價**
    – 選擇有良好口碑和高評價的品牌，並注意是否有第三方檢測認證。

    #### 如何逐步更換貓飼料？
    如果需要更換貓咪的飼料，請遵循以下步驟以避免腸胃不適：
    1. 第1-3天：新飼料混入原飼料的25%。
    2. 第4-6天：新飼料比例提升至50%。
    3. 第7-9天：新飼料比例提升至75%。
    4. 第10天以後：完全更換為新飼料。

    #### 常見問題解答
    1. **我的貓咪不喝水，怎麼辦？**
    – 可以選擇濕飼料，或在乾飼料上噴一些水。

    2. **如何分辨貓飼料是否過期？**
    – 注意包裝上的有效日期，並確保飼料沒有異味或變色。

    3. **可以給貓咪吃人類食物嗎？**
    – 一些人類食物對貓咪有害，如巧克力、洋蔥、大蒜，應避免餵食。

    #### 總結
    選擇適合的貓飼料需要考量多種因素，包括貓咪的年齡、健康狀況和口味偏好。為了確保愛貓健康，建議定期諮詢獸醫，並為牠們提供均衡的飲食。讓您的貓咪擁有健康快樂的每一天！

    Thank you Noam. After zooming 600% into my GH6 footage to compare internal ProRes 4:2:2 HQ 4K59.94 to internal HEVC 10-bit 5.7K59.94 4:2:0 300Mb/s, I can report that macro blocking in highly detailed and contrasting areas is strongly present with HEVC. I now completely appreciate ProRes both for its quality and its hyper accelerated playback and encoding speed in the Apple M1 Ultra processor thanks to the embedded dedicated Media Engine chip. Consumers and Professionals would greatly benefit from cameras with ProRes RAW, as it’s also a brilliantly accelerated codec that erases the idea that RAW is a difficult video codec to work with. Such a shame that RED has a steadfast patent on internal compressed RAW video formats. It would be such a win for the videography community to see the patent overturned.

    ProRes raw internally?

    When you got to do pov, anything might be used. So, is there a list out there of everything that uses ProRes and ProRes raw? I would like to find a 4kp50 Acton Cam that does ProRes myself. But still haven’t seen one. The most you see, is one that did mpeg1 and maybe GoPro will have the cineform successor codec used for video as well one day (they have specialist cameras starting late this year). That’s the sort of thing you need recording wide field and 360.

    Apple has a page listing products which use prores. Maybe they know.

    Great list thanks for taking the time to do this! Also thanks to the commenters for helping fix it! I’d like to add a couple cameras. Kinefinity Terra 4K and the Terra 6K. Both can record ProRes 4444 internally.

      Unfortunately, it can only record CinemaDNG and H.264 internaly.

    A great list! One note, the Blackmagic 12K is a fantastic camera, but it doesn’t record ProRes, only BRAW.

    The list seems to be neither complete, nor correct. What I spotted immediately: The Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera is missing; the Panasonic GH5s doesn’t record internal ProRes, and neither do the two variants of the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K.

      Fixed the errors – and how could I forget the micro cinema camera? I own one and love it… Thanks for the input here.
