![]() ![]() ![]() There are video samples here by cinematographer John Brawley. ![]() The fact that it's a S16 RAW camera makes it a competitor to the Digital Bolex camera we mentioned previously, though I would note the fact that BlackMagic is an established company - and the fact that it comes with the full version of Resolve and Ultrascope - makes this one more appealing in theory. The flipside is that many believe that standard SSD connectors were not designed for frequent insertion/removal time will tell. ![]() And it takes standard 2.5" SSDs - you are not tied to one (overpriced) brand of media, as you are with RED or (quite often) Sony. Finally, the fact that it has a built-in recorder and monitor means it has the ease of use that most shooters want - spec sheets be damned. Also, BlackMagic was wise to make this a Canon EF mount camera - PL glass is so expensive that a lot more of their target customers will already have Canon lenses lying around than will have PL lenses. If you don't think S16 is a large enough sensor, keep in mind that it's been used to shoot a million features lately, including Darren Aronofsky's most recent ( The Wrestler and Black Swan), as well as this year's Sundance-winning Beasts of the Southern Wild. Still, for that price and with those options - this is a seriously disruptive camera and one that targets the HDSLR space perfectly. all for $3,000? You'd say, "what's the catch?" Looks like the only catch is a 15.6 mm x 8.8 mm (active) sensor size, which makes it a S16 camera, not a S35. What if I told you BlackMagic Design was introducing a 2.5K resolution, 13-stop dynamic range, RAW-shooting (with format-agnostic ProRes/CinemaDNG/DNxHD options), Thunderbolt-connected, built-in touchscreen LCD, SSD-recording camera that comes with the new version of Resolve 9 color correction software. ![]()
