According to Blackmagic, the Cinema Camera’s 2.5K sensor offers 13 stops of dynamic range which, if true, should make it extremely versatile, especially since it’s capturing uncompressed raw video with over twice the resolution of regular HD.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera has a built-in SSD recorder to store all that juicy footage in CinemaDNG RAW, ProRes or DNxHD formats.

The Cinema Camera’s relatively small size, inexpensive price point, and recording specs make it less of a competitor to the just announced Canon EOS-1D C ($15,000) or Red’s Scarlet-X($9,750) cameras, which both shoot 4K video, but more in line with the Digital Bolex ($2,500), that was announced at South By Southwest last month.

Once upon a time, motion picture cameras that created high-quality images were affordable for all filmmakers on any budget. Consumer 8mm and 16mm cameras like the original Bolex shot footage that could be projected on any movie theater screen.

New Canon Digital SLR CameraUnder Development

HOLLYWOOD, California, November 3, 2011/TOKYO, November 4, 2011 – Canon Inc. today announced that the company is developing a new-concept EOS-series digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. Incorporating an enhanced version of the video-capture capability offered in the current EOS-series lineup, the new camera will be ideally suited for cinematographic and other digital high-resolution production applications. The model will be equipped with a 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor and, enabling the recording of 4K video (at a frame rate of 24P, with Motion-JPEG compression), will make possible the type of exceptional image quality and sublime imaging expression to be expected from the next generation of “EOS Movies.”

Cinematography (from Greek: kinema - κίνημα ”movement” and graphein - γράφειν ”to record”) is the making of lighting and camera choices when recording photographic images for cinema. It is closely related to the art of still photography. Many additional technical difficulties and creative possibilities arise when the camera and elements of the scene may be in motion.
