The Blackmagic Cinema Camera is aiming to offer budding filmmakers an affordable option to shoot high quality, film-level HD video. Fitting into its compactly designed aluminum chassis is a slew of features usually reserved for much higher priced gear: a refrigerated high-resolution 2.5K sensor, 24-30fps, built-in high-speed SSD with RAW video recording, an impressive 13 stops of dynamic range, and a lens mount that allows for compatibility with both Canon EF and Zeiss ZF lenses. It’s even easily controlled via the large 5? touchscreen display in back. You can pre-order the Blackmagic Cinema Camera now for $3,000, but you’ll have to wait till July for delivery.
