The Blackmagic Cinema Camera is unlike any video camera you have ever seen. When it was announced in April of last year, slackjawed videographers marveled at this little camera, made by a little software & post production hardware company, that shoots RAW files at 2.5k resolution for only $3000.

Shooting with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera

The price of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is $3,000.00, but what I find amazing about the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is the fact that it can shoot 12 bit RAW format with 13 stops of dynamic range. It shoots 2.5K and ships with a full version of DaVinci Resolve, which can work with the RAW footage and exports in codecs that NLEs can work with. DaVinci Resolve worksflows are included in the book.
