Digital Cinematography is a trend that has taken over the film industry. Many directors are moving towards strictly digital mediums for filmmaking. The options for data storage and post-production workflow add an ease to the filmmaking process that was absent with the old days of splicing and taping shots together for film.
In 2009 Slumdog Millionaire became the first movie shot mostly in digital and wan an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Avatar for example, was not only shot on digital, but shown through digital projection in the theaters, rather than by film reels.
Digital cinematography offers more consistency, portability, higher resolution, better storage and backup options, at a lower price than standard film cameras.
The industry has accepted digital cinematography, and there are several directors who only use digital.
The hardware that makes it possible, like the recently released RED camera, from the founder of Oakley gives the novice the tools professional filmmakers have for a 1/10th of the price.
