New! – ARRI ALEXA 265 camera

Now available at Camalot Amsterdam and Belgium: the brand-new ARRI ALEXA 265.

Developed in response to hands-on feedback from ALEXA 65 users, the ALEXA 265 represents the next leap in large-format cinematography. It introduces a redesigned 65 mm sensor that not only improves image quality but also enhances performance in low-light scenarios, delivering an impressive 15 stops of dynamic range.

Significantly more compact and lighter than its predecessors—the ALEXA 65 and the ALEXA 765—the new ALEXA 265 boasts a 65 mm format sensor with familiar dimensions: 54.12 x 25.58 mm (59.86 mm Ø diagonal, 6560 x 3100 photosites). Despite the larger sensor, its camera body closely resembles that of the ALEXA 35, just slightly wider to house the sensor. This compatibility allows for seamless integration with most ALEXA 35 accessories and streamlines data management on set.

Built on the same foundation as the ALEXA 35, the ALEXA 265 manages to pack a sensor nearly three times larger into a body that’s only marginally bigger—just 4 mm longer and 11 mm wider. At only 3.3 kg, it’s less than a third of the weight of the ALEXA 65, thanks to ARRI’s latest innovations in cooling and power efficiency.

Its reduced weight and compact design make it ideal for handheld shooting and perfect for gimbals, remote heads, and stabilizers that require smaller payloads—providing filmmakers with greater flexibility and creative freedom.
