Taking the same form as the previously leaked Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, the Micro Studio Camera features a Micro Four Thirds 13.056mm x 7.344mm size sensor and lens mount.
Month: April 2015
With 4K internal recording, Micro Four Thirds sized sensor and V-LOG but a fixed 13x zoom lens, Panasonic have taken a dated concept and brought it up to date. But will the modern video professional let alone filmmakers be able to tolerate that fixed zoom lens rather than the interchangeable lens mount we all hoped would be on this camera?
I just received a tidbit of info from a reader. Apparently Blackmagic have a third camera we’ve not seen yet on any of the posters at NAB. The show opens shortly.
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/124732922[/vimeo] Red have announced their latest sensor. It’s a full frame (Vista Vision) 40mm x 20mm CMOS capable of 8K (8192 x 4320). At that resolution the maximum frame rate is still an impressive 75FPS. This is the current state of the art.
Here is the Blackmagic URSA Mini pictured at NAB. Not much larger than a Sony FS7, it doesn’t need much in the way of extra work-arounds or rigging to get fired up. I especially love the Alexa-like viewfinder.
Writing on his blog, Panasonic director of professional imaging Kunihiko Miyagi says the company has decided to “try and create another disruption in the industry and hit like the DVX100”.

Final hardware but pre-release firmware with some modes such as “Golden 3K” for 16-stop dynamic range not yet enabled. The Kinefinity KineMAX is a serious piece of kit. It is possibly the best image I have ever shot with. The 6K Super 35mm sensor delivers an absolutely incredible raw image, internally recorded and also a CineForm Proxy for quick editing.
