Zacuto has published part two of their 2011 Great Camera Shootout. Entitled “Sensors & Sensitivity” the tests were again conducted using the Single Chip Camera Evaluation (SCCE) testing technique.

Camera models tested were: Arriflex-435, Alexa, Canon 5D Mk II, Canon 1D Mk IV, Weisscam-HS2, Nikon D7000, Sony F35, Phantom Flex, Panasonic AF-100, RED ONE M-X and Sony PMW-F3.
