Before the start of this year’s SXSW Film Festival, Indiewire sent out a questionnaire to the filmmakers presenting their work in Austin. Among the questions posed, we asked them which cameras they used to film their projects.

Overwhelmingly, the various models created by Canon were the most popular, however both RED and ALEXA cameras had a decent showing. All the films were shot on digital at some point, with some capitalizing on the Apple technology in their pockets. iPhones weren’t used exclusively, like on the production of “Tangerine,” which premiered at Sundance in January, but both “A Woman Like Me” and “I Dream Too Much” made use of the jack-of-all-trades cell phone.

Check out the specific models below, arranged in alphabetical order. Please note that some films used multiple cameras, hence the repeats.
