From the New York Times: Dean Semler, who shot "Click" and "Apocalypto," a Mayan historical adventure movie directed by Mel Gibson, said he was impressed by the Panavision camera's sensitivity in low-light situations when he was in the Mexican jungle. Some cinematographers may hold out for higher-resolution digital cameras, Mr. Semler said, but then added: "I'm looking at my images, and it doesn't matter. It looks fabulous on the screen to me."
