Denna undersökning jämför en grupp personers perception av identiska bilder tagna med fyra olika filmkameror i olika prisklasser. En Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K(BMPCC4K), Sony PXW-FS7, RED ONE och Arri Alexa Mini. Testet jämför främst kamerornas möjlighet att reproducera hudtoner, färg, rörelse och dynamiskt omfång. Undersökningen använder sig av en kvalitativ intervjumetod där informanter reagerar på testbilder. Informanterna har ingen professionell erfarenhet av bildproduktion och representerar en konsument. Intervjuerna resulterade i att för det mesta var FS7 och Alexa favoriserade av informanterna i alla bilder förutom dynamiskt omfångtestet, där FS7presterade lite sämre än Alexa när det kom till att behålla detalj i både högdagrarna och lågdagrarna. Som slutsats kom undersökningen fram till att alla fyra kameror är bra verktyg för att spela in på men att FS7- och Alexa-kamerornas bilder ser bäst direkt ut ur kameran enligt informanterna.
