BMD Cinema Camera!

Unfortunately the sensor is smaller than four-thirds, rendering most Canon lenses unusable…

still at that price point this is just amazing!
one still needs to have nice glass and nice lighting to make most of it as with any other camera.
lovely product!

They either need to offer an NEX or 4/3 mount or a bigger sensor. That aside, looks amazing.

Well done BMD, thanks for stirring it up.

Why do they to? Most people use Canon or Nikon mount lenses and there’ll be plenty of adapter for this. Bigger sensor? get a used 5D mkII 😛

when you say that do you mean content aquisition, or for live… Im very curious if the HD-SDI feed is capable of live video… any idea?

My only problem with the cam from what im seeing is the very tiny sensor, so a wide shot wont be wide at all. Even if you find an 8mm lens or something it’ll equate to a 20mm on this sensor… other than that it looks fantastic

Looks like a great concept. Unfortunately, it has a very small effective sensor area (roughly 1280×720)

So that’s where the execution falls short. As mentioned in an earlier post, maybe it’s a precursor to a larger sensor model.

They need a bigger sensor or a mount with a shorter flange distance because smaller sensor means any given lens performs more like a telephoto. In other words, no wide angles!
I have no problem with the small sensor per se, god knows we could all use more shots actually in focus, but a lens mount designed for such small sensor sizes would allow us to access wide angles. And an NEX or 3/4 mount still lets you use EF and Nikon mount lenses with common, cheap adaptors.
That’s why.:-)

Yes Will, they do make several references to the camera “family”, thus far one camera and a handle. Looks like more to follow, which sounds like Grant’s MO.
