Do we still need cinema cameras and cinema lenses? Is there any benefit of spending all that money or does an iPhone give us results that are 'good enough'? For this Image Makers, we'll test the Sony FX3 and URSA 4.6 with our Sony and DZO removable lenses against an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Which set up wins and is it that noticeable?

Come join a meeting of video and cinema makers who are dedicated to the craft of moving imagery. While no formal instruction is provided, this session is a great chance to meet new collaborators, try new techniques, push one another to new levels, and keep skills fresh.
