Anaconda_ Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Based on the fact it's bundled in with the ATEM Mini update, and that seems to be the headline; I doubt there will be any new camera announcements - but it'd be nice to be proven wrong. I'm hoping for new firmware with extra braw compression ratios - from what I've read q3 is a perfect, use all the time option. I'm also hoping for Gen5 colour in the Pocket cameras. I know I can switch it in post, but in camera would be preferable. Emanuel and pixelpreaching 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Freeze Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 BMD Micro Cinema Camera 8K and maybe new features for the 12k and the 4.6kPro G2? I think the Pocket Range is still good with the 4K and the 6k, but the Micro is due for an Upgrade. majoraxis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majoraxis Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think there is room between the USRA Mini Pro 4.6k G2 and the USRA Mini Pro 12k for an USRA Mini Pro 8k for $7,500 that is basically the USRA Mini 12k that restricts the resolution to a downsampled 8k image. This could also be upgradable for $3,500 to 12k including installing the 12k enabling board at a local Blackmagic dealer. I would like to see the Pocket 6k sensor with M4/3 mount in a Micro Cinema Camera body with SDI output and dual micro XLR microphone inputs for $2495. I would like to see a 6k global shutter sensor with M4/3 mount in a Micro Cinema Camera body with SDI output and dual micro XLR microphone inputs for $2995. I wold like to see a Pocket 6k with M4/3's mount for $1995. I assume there is very little research and development that is required to create this product variation. I would purchase any of the above 6k M4/3 configurations if and when available. BTM_Pix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their PR ahead of announcing the UMP12K was pretty low-key so who knows! 5 hours ago, majoraxis said: I think there is room between the USRA Mini Pro 4.6k G2 and the USRA Mini Pro 12k for an USRA Mini Pro 8k for $7,500 that is basically the USRA Mini 12k that restricts the resolution to a downsampled 8k image.

BM seem to be a random number generator with their features, with each camera kind of being like the first camera from a startup company trying to fill a little gap they've found in the market. They could either do something sensible like creating a new camera that fits into an existing lineup and uses the same lens-mount and accessories etc, or they could go wild with another one-off offering, who knows. It could just as easily be a medium format 20K "pocket" camera with a PL mount, or a 6K 1" sensor C-Mount action/crash "cinema" camera. majoraxis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The ATEM Pro Extreme is nice but I wish they'd gone with SDI instead of HDMI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to be furious about the Extreme's pricing until he said that there was a separate ISO model. I already begrudgingly sold my Atem Mini Pro when the ISO came out only months later so the thought that they'd add 4 more inputs for only $100 more was giving me flashbacks. The two new models seem very well priced/specced. newfoundmass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfoundmass Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Two XLR inputs, that's nice too. The battery upgrade alone makes this compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfoundmass Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 $2,495 for the camera and the battery grip is only $125. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethman Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 what about the sensor? Same from the 6K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurtlandPhoto Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Internal NDs, tilt screen, and dual mini XLR make it worth the extra $500 over the 6K. This is probably the perfect camera for them to release right now. Katrikura, Thpriest and Kisaha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
