Australian business, Matched Image Camera Hire, will be among the first to be able to offer Australia the ARRI ALEXA digital cinema camera. Built on the technical expertise of the ARRIFLEX D-21, ARRI has released the new ARRI camera the ALEXA part of a new generation of digital motion picture cameras. Like the D-21, ALEXA creates rich, organic images, with the look and feel of 35 mm film.

The ARRI ALEXA is planned to be used with 35 mm accessories and lenses, so will fit into established working practices and minimise production delays. Matched Image are the new digital cinema ARRI ALEXA camera with and without lenses, in lightweight and full production packages. Now taking bookings for this exciting and much anticipated digital camera, Matched Image have a complete suite of products on offer to support your ALEXA rental including audio equipment hire, lighting rental, grip equipment hire, edit suite rental, crew hire, production van hire and all camera accessories.

At the heart of the ARRI ALEXA camera system is ARRIs own 3.5K Super 35mm format ALEV-III CMOS Bayer sensor. Through extended research and experimentation with sensor and pixel technologies ARRI made some great discoveries and applied these to the production of the ALEXA. Optimum image quality is achieved through a fine balance between detail, colour reproduction and sensitivity. While some competitors strive to improve camera statistics on paper by cramming more and more pixels into a 35mm frame, ARRI employed a proof is in the pudding approach with the ALEXA digital camera maintaining that optimum image quality is achieved through slightly fewer, yet larger, pixels filling the available space on a 35mm sensor.

Along with Seinfeld and Frasier, Friends dominated the must-see TV of the 1990’s. Winner of innumerable television awards, the show features the lives of six friends in their late-twenties/early-thirties living in New York City - Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). The six friends spend the majority of their time in a coffee house named “Central Perk” or in either Monica’s apartment or Joey and Chandler’s apartment.
