Check out the subscription here This review is based on the final retail model (not a pre-production camera or loan unit). I pre-ordered from CVP in London back in April.

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/47013561[/vimeo] New Blackmagic Cinema Camera footage is in the wild, and this one is downloadable in glorious high bitrate 1080p. Although it isn’t the original DNG or ProRes rushes it is the closest we’ve come to a representative video yet.
