Clayton Moore Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Not sure where to start here honestly. Both new cameras look pretty cool. BUT here is the problem they have if they dont offer some promissed updates to exsisting cameras. How confident can buyers of the new stuff be that they will be fully supported with the new products they buy, if customers of existing products get very little in that regard.

Bioskop.Inc Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The AJA Cion seems to be absolutely packed with every type of connector/feature you'd want (no 10" screen), but will it hold up to the BM image quality? I wonder when we'll see something smaller/cheaper/prosumer from Alexa - just to put the cat amoungst the pigeons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurtinMinorKey Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes, lets hope histograms etc... come in firmware updates ASAP. Are histograms really that important, when you can shoot in raw and use peaking? + you can always use ultra-scopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunyata Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 i think someone has been looking at the axiom website with the ursa interchangeable sensor concept. the danger of open source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpr Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This mechanism on metal legs looks like something out of The War of the Worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I can guarantee this announcement will not please any of Blackmagic's existing user base... Actually, if you take a look at their product line-up, you'll realize these are the first BMD cameras that might please their user base! :) Their previous cameras were aimed at the DSLR video crowd, but that doesn't really represent their user base. I do agree they need to step up and finish those damn cameras properly. The original 4k camera is still the one I'm most interested in, but I'm not getting it until they finish that firmware properly. andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioskop.Inc Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Are histograms really that important, when you can shoot in raw and use peaking? + you can always use ultra-scopes. No of course not, i'm more interested in the minor things that would fall under the etc...heading - the pink noise generated by lights, maybe a few extra WB presets (for ProRes). Eventhough i've got my Pocket cam that produces lovely images, i still use my 60D because no one really gives a shit. No 4K for me as there is only one real platform for it & that's cinema - the new Panasonic/Sony cams look like they always did, a bit video-ish.

johnnymossville Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Video-ish? The Panasonic and Sony Cams definitely don't look video-ish, that is unless you want to make the footage look video-ish. This same argument has been used by canon users since the beginning of time it seems. I guess if it works for ya keep at it. :) andy lee and jurgen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Ash Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks like the Studio camera HD is using the pocket camera sensor both are 12.48x 7.02mm They seem to be using a New sensor for the Studio camera 4K 13.056x7.344mm Production camera 4K is 21.12mmx11.88mm Cinema camera 13 stops DR is 15.8mmx8.81mm In some ways these cameras are the Mk II version of the first generation better audio ,larger batteries more user friendly.I wouldn't be surprised if new form factor versions of their first three cameras aren't far away. Perhaps a 10" screen that can be put where ever you like and plugged in to the camera. Some of the rigs for Black magic cameras look like sprawling Meccano constructions anyway.

Bruno Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 They seem to be using a New sensor for the Studio camera 4K 13.056x7.344mm I guess they had to since it comes with an MFT mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Teixeira Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I had Simon Westland of BlackMagic Design go over the URSA and Studio cameras. Just a guess here, but I wouldn't be surprised if they put that 1" 4K chip into a sucessor of the Pocket camera. Perhaps it wont be that long until it happens.
