The large format RGBW sensor design prioritizes color accuracy and offers a massive 16 stops of dynamic range, ensuring stunning visuals in any lighting condition.
Industry professionals were particularly impressed by the URSA Cine‘s interchangeable lens mounts (PL, LPL, EF, and Hasselblad) and electronic neutral density filters, providing unmatched flexibility on set.
Overall, Blackmagic’s new cameras offer exciting options for cinematographers at various levels.
The PYXIS 6K provides a compelling entry point for budget-conscious filmmakers, while the URSA Cine 12K pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in high-resolution cinematography.
