  Yes, and not the camera I'm referring to.

    Pretend most of HN has no idea what you are talking about, especially which n is "THE n".

      Good point. And I suppose I didn't do a good job making my point clear. It isn't a matter of which camera is better, but that the camera is a part of the creative process of filmmaking and is not strictly tied to the quality of deliverables. It is a brush with which an artist chooses to paint, for creative and practical reasons. For a company like Netflix to control quality the goal must be to capture the creative intent with the highest fidelity[0]. Keeping in mind that the pixels serve the content, the content does not serve the pixels, and pixels are just one of very many things that serve the content. This can and should be done by specifying the quality of the result, the deliverables, not the tools used in the creation process. [0] Fidelity as apposed to quality is an important distinction (that seems to be lost on Netflix). "Pi", "Saving Private Ryan", "No Country for Old Men", and "Deadpool" have different objective measurements of image quality, but they can all be presented to an audience at high fidelity.

        Thank you, that makes much more sense to me. Otherwise it is on par with a developer complaining about their workload running on equivalent AMD processors vs Intel. It sounds like Netflix could use someone like you.
