Cost comparison between Captureforce and major NYC competitors Posted on July 28th
Quality is important, but so are the finances.
We have compared the rates of the largest equipment rental-house in Manhattan, and a major NYC studio/digital capture company, to our own Captureforce Signature capture package.
Neither the rental-house or the digital capture company provide equipment that match the caliber of Captureforce’s capture stations. We provide expensive 16-bit Eizo monitors that are proven to be far superior at evaluating true colors. We also equip each of our G5 computers with a SATA RAID1 file storage system that guaranties you ALWAYS have a 100% clone copy of every single image you take. The SATA RAID1 configuration we use involves a brand of hard-drive that performs with the extra high “short-write to” time which is integral to the shoot-speed.
We own all our equipment and we make sure all the equipment contains the latest software and firm-ware. Firm-ware is particularly important because if your equipment does not have the right firm-ware, it will not communicate correctly with the lens, camera, digital back, or computer. Mis-matched firm-ware will make the equipment freeze and can in the worst case, permanently damage the circuit-board. When using rental equipment, you can’t be sure that all the components have the right firm-ware and are “talking” properly together? The fact that Captureforce owns its equipment, and works with it every day, ensures safe and superior operational quality at optimal rates on every job.
