Blackmagic Brings 4K for $4K to Reality with New Super35 Cine Camera

April 8, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Blackmagic Production Camera 4K

Alongside the new Pocket Cinema Camera, Blackmagic announced its new Production Camera 4K today at NAB 2013.

The new camera is housed in the same body as last year’s Blackmagic Cinema Camera; however, the Production Camera 4K sports some fancy new innards, including a Super35 format sensor that captures high quality compressed CinemaDNG RAW and ProRes 422 (HQ) files in 4K resolution. It boasts 12 stops of dynamic range and includes DaVinci Resolve color grading software.

The new Blackmagic Production Camera 4K also supports the new 6G-SDI video connection out, which will allow its full potential to be realized in live productions.

The camera features a Canon EF mount for a wide variety of Canon and Zeiss lenses. As with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, the Production Camera 4K features a built-in SSD recorder for capturing footage.

    How in the hell can they do this? This is getting close to Sony’s F5 for 1/7 the price. Something just isn’t adding up. And i’ll be damned if I know what that is. I guess we’ll find out soon enough, eh?
