I reckon the top end Cookes resolve 8K at T5.6. But they are Super 35mm It would be nice if they split the Red sensor line into two.... Sensitivity and Resolution.

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. Read the full article

Looks like magnesium alloy of some sort as with previous URSA. Not long now till the official specs so let's see.

Red have announced their new 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. Read the full article

The XC10 probably has it's place. There will always be a large crowd willing to sacrifice the artistic creativity of a super 35mm sensor with 15 stop dynamic range for a drab looking slap and dash camcorder image.

I am sure Canon being in the CFast 2.0 game will help bring prices down. Haha just kidding.

Maybe there is a surprise we haven't seen yet regarding those.    

New Blackmagic URSA Mini costs just $2995, Erik Naso has more details... Read the full article

Looks like Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, Production Camera and BMCC as we know it are dead!?

​Wonder if the remote control for camera comes bundled with it?

Clearly no screen on the drone cam if the back is taken up by the LP-6 battery. The URSA Mini form factor is the one I am most interested in. If it's tiny, it will be a winner.

​Those poster guys on the crane better hurry up

If so it's a cool design to say the least.

Also, is somewhat ironic the abuse Ed has suffered for his opinions and beliefs, given the subject matter itself is abuse!! Stop it guys. Or we'll have to talk about cameras again...

Agreed. Not sweeping it under the rug. But needs to stay respectful.

All credit to Noam for the URSA find http://noamkroll.com/blackmagic-ursa-mini-is-coming-15-stops-of-dynamic-range-4-6k-sensor-much-more/ Specs of the smaller cinema camera coming in just a moment.

Clearly designed for drones. It's Super 16mm. Here's the URSA Mini 4.6K, Super 35mm... Photos from Noam.

The new lightweight portable URSA Mini has a much smaller screen and looks a bit like a DVX100. New Blackmagic sensor is 4.6K, 15 stops. New Blackmagic Cinema Camera is also to be announced at NAB. Resolve 12 will be released shortly afterwards.

​Let's try and avoid pointing the finger at each other. The situation is as bad enough as it is without losing more friends because of differences of opinion on an internet forum.

There is a new 4K Panasonic camera coming at NAB. Read the full article: http://www.eoshd.com/2015/04/there-is-a-new-4k-panasonic-camera-coming-at-nab/

Nobody in the history of press releases ever has said something like "this time..." twice in the opening paragraph. Amateurish sham.

​O rly?

We broadly control how much we put out onto the internet. That's our right. If someone takes that away from you and posts carte blanche a ton of the uttermost private info, I don't agree that.

Trust me Ed you shouldn't be taking abuse condemnations from guys like Vincent Gafney and Salah Baker on twitter. Highly abusive themselves all the time on social media, often to me.
