BLACK MAGIC WINS AGAIN

[wheatgrinder]

Is it just me or does a $6000 price tag seem ridiculously inexpensive for the URSA from Blackmagic.

Unlike red, all you need is a lens and a battery and your off..

Edit: those Cfast 2.0 cards are expensive though, why didnt they just go SSD?

Posted elsewhere (not by me) about the URSA:

Everyone I have talked to in the last few days
has the same negative reaction to the 10"screen on the operator side.
Close it and you have mount a EVF, (when did we stop calling them
viewfinders) that will have to be jerry rigged on a
mount and swung out of the way when you want the screen, plus it covers
most of the controls on the operator side.
Open it and now 'Video village' is at the camera, just what you want on
set...

Will be interesting to see how it pans out in the end

I've never used a blackmagic camera so not speaking from experience, but the Production Camera 4K sensor has so many issues with it, mainly blackspots and really bad low light performance. The URSA from what I've read seems to use the same the same 4k sensor, which isn't really a good thing..still looks interesting though
