To create a video 16 MM look the following cameras with a 15.9 MM diagonal sensor (or 1" sensor) can be used:
Canon XA50
Canon XA70
Sony NX80
Sony Z90
If the video was shot and released at 4K, using one of those 4 cameras, with a color grade that's well done and resembles or exceeds the visual qualities of 16 MM film, with the video output done at highest possible tech levels - then the video can be classified as being video 16 MM or the video equivalent of something filmed on 16 MM film.
Further, to be considered video 16 MM the cameras need to have fixed lenses, XLR handles, and need to cost less than $3000 new in 2024 money (or similar in later years). The goal is to create an accessible and high quality format that can be used for indie fiction features. A format through an easy-to-use camera that can capture great visuals and audio. This format and classification of cameras are to be promoted as a new global standard for indie fiction filmmaking.
