On Youtube there are some demo videos of the performance of Sony A7s which are simply amazing, for example this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOJyBmDvp5c. At first it seems a normal daylight scene and then... then you realize that it is being shot at night with just moonlight!
Considering the way technology evolves, I am waiting for a fully natural "daylight" scene shot with nothing more than the stars.
@jpb06t -formerly latego- yes, the new mirroless camera generation is unbelivable... ISO 100 000 without noise - here it is... Cats aren't grey anymore at night :-)
what i posted somewhere above -that it is not possible to make a movie at night using shutter 1/60 is definitely outdated
Well, let's see. At 24 fps, and a 180 degree shutter (typical for an Arriflex, for example), that would be about 1/50 sec, which is fairly fast for a camera negative film that's also pushed a stop or two. For very low light, they would (sometimes) undercrank at 12 fps, which would give them about 1/25 sec shutter, and then double-print optically. On some films shot in the 70s you can occasionally see the artifacts of the double-printing when people or cars go by.
While few movies are made this way today, the :look" of these night scenes has become part of our culture collective, because this is the appearance of night-for-night scenes for decades of movies. When a modern camera picks up more brightness details than even the human eye can discern, it stops looking real. We haven't had enough exposure (pun intended) to this style of photography to accept it as a natural possibility.

Right - but having this option dosent mean real night scenes must look like daylight ... having the whole color dynamic range (at nigth) in a raw format and noiseless high ISO gives full control to create every possible night image style, even for video. Good to see in lategos video example at 30sec...
