In a joint shootout with Slashcam in Berlin, EOSHD put the Blackmagic Cinema Camera into a bear pit against all rivalling cameras between $500 and $4000.
It was a clear day and the results are just as stark. Download the full 2.5K shootout video. Here’s my verdict on which camera you should buy – based purely on image quality.
The following cameras are in this test:
- Blackmagic Cinema Camera (retail)
- Panasonic GH3 (pre-production v0.5)
- Panasonic GH2 (hacked)
- Sony FS100
- Canon 5D Mark III
- Sony NEX VG-900 (full frame E-mount camcorder)
