It really feels like there is a demand out there, and if any camera manufacturers are reading this – I would urge you to consider the possibility. Thank you for this, Rich! Appreciate your insight and I’m sure others will learn from this too. Reply There’s also a USB-C port, supporting data transfer and slow charging. A point to note - this won’t keep the camera alive while shooting, just supplement the battery power to ease the load. On multiple exports to DCP for short films it is a winning combination. I love the way sensor works with RAW and ProRes, on a cinema screen (remember those?) it delivers the emotional response I got off 35mm but for peanuts. Side by side it wouldn’t compare, but in its one right I have witnessed audiences stunned by the story and the sensor. I’m just in the process of rigging up an OG BMPCC, after finishing a series of kids shorts on Reg / Double Super 8.

ReplyMost advanced digital film camera features 6K sensor with EFlens mount, built in motorized NDfilters at 0, 2, 4 and 6stops, tilt adjustable 1500 nit LCD and alarger battery. Supports optionalEVF. Later in the week we expanded our kit to include a small, HD field monitor, a passive EF to Micro Four Thirds lens mount adapter, and an EF mount lens with a variable ND filter. The adapter allowed us to use some of our own EF lenses as well, although the iris on our lenses could not be adjusted through the adapter, so the iris was always wide open.
