If you’re not familiar with Australia-based Achtel or their 9×7 Digital Cinema Camera, don’t fret – you’re not alone. This exclusive piece of technology has managed to remain under the radar for most people, and for good reason. Packed with specialized features tailored for VFX plates and immersive cinema experiences (such as IMAX, Flying Theatre, and Giant Screen), this camera comes with a hefty price tag of $200,000, making it an indulgence reserved for only a select few. Adding to its exclusivity, there are currently only five of these cameras in existence.
