very interesting.

This looks very interesting. The sample videos look pretty good too. Though ISO performance starts get noisy around 800, but for $3K you’re not going to get the C300 sensitivity. There’s a pretty detailed write up by John Brawley who got early access to the camera: https://johnbrawley.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/blackmagic-cinema-camera-lets-take-it-from-the-top/
I haven’t seen a ship date for this yet. Anyone know? 2012? 2013?

This is the cheap camera that I’ve been dreaming about for years. There must be so many companies that are furious at BMD. GOOD RIDDANCE to H.264 acquisition.
Between Adobe CS6, Autodesk, RED, and Black-Magic design exploding the post world, what the hell is the post world going to look like in 3 years?

Can I get it for less if I already own Resolve and don’t need Ultrascope?

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

One can only hope.. Hehe.. Or the sales rep would probably say “haven’t you tried the remote grading feature yet? It’s a must have. You’re practically getting the camera for $999”.

I suspect that the Ultrascope software only works when the BMD Camera is plugged into the computer.

I cant understand the sensor size… 15×8?
The video of the beach has a lot of dead pixels and noise. The camera will have a black shadding? I hate dead pixels!
I like 13 stops raw to ssd, but 15×8?, why not s35 sensor?

I think there’s a lot of sacrifices made in order to get it sub-$3K. No XLR input, no HDMI out, no buttons to adjust settings (all touch screen), no ND filter, etc.
It also doesn’t seem like a very clean sensor at higher ISO’s. The videos online have visible noise at ISO 800…by today’s sensor standard that is pretty poor performance. But 2.5K resolution in RAW format with 13 stops of latitude for $3K may just be a great b-camera for a whole bunch of people (or maybe an A camera for some). I know I’m certainly interested…

i really depends how you will use it. if you have all workflow in mind from raw to resolve you will be fine.
You can not cut corners on light anyway. i see here daily people use red or alexa and result is big pile of s… so it really depends who and how uses the camera.i see it as fantastic alternative for canon and nikon cameras and even alexa.
price point will make sales explode!
