Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera !!!

[tonioprod]

Enfin une boite qui a compris ce que Canon aurait du faire depuis longtemps !!! Une cam 2K avec une monture EF...à $3000 !!!
Et qui enregistre en RAW s'il vous plait ! Au revoir DSLR !!! On va enfin pouvoir travailler les images et faire de vrais étalonnage à partir d'une image avec une grande dynamique. Plus de bricolage à partir d'appareils photos à l'ergonomie douteuse en video. Et plus le bouzin embarque un enregistreur de SSD directement ! Il n'y a plus qu'à tester mais connaissant la qualité des produits BMD, ça devrait le faire.
Voici l'annonce que vient de faire le boss de BMD :

"Blackmagic Cinema Camera

We have been thinking hard about cameras and some of the limitations in quality that video cameras run into. Working with DaVinci color grading has only made these limitations more noticeable.

Some of the reasons why video cameras look like "video" is because they have limited contrast range, are limited to HD resolutions, use heavy compression for file recording, have poor quality lenses and of course they don't integrate into NLE software with metadata management.

We decided to address these problems by developing a camera that provides feature film quality in an extremely compact portable design.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera includes a super wide 13 stops of dynamic range, large 2.5K sensor, integrated SSD recorder that has the bandwidth to capture CinemaDNG RAW, ProRes and DNxHD files, integrated capacitive touchscreen LCD for direct metadata entry, standard jack audio connectors, refrigerated sensor and it's fully compatible with EF and ZF mount lenses.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera also includes SDI and Thunderbolt connectors and it comes with a full copy of DaVinci Resolve and UltraScope software. Imagine plugging in your laptop for on set grading and scopes!

The 13 stops of dynamic range is one of the most important reasons why this camera looks like film. Often people focus on more pixels, but that is just a larger video image. The real way to get film quality is to capture a wide contrast range to retain more detail in the black and white levels of the image. Then once you color grade the images, it looks amazing! Combined with amazing EF and ZF lenses, the result is a true film look!

Of course the quality is killed if you compress the images when recording them, so we built in an SSD recorder. That means you get the recording speed you need to record the full 2.5K RAW sensor data into completely uncompressed CinemaDNG files. This means you get all the detail and quality of the sensor.

No files on this camera are custom in any way and this is the first camera that's designed to make the whole post production process simple. It records into CinemaDNG format for RAW files, and DNxHD or ProRes for HD resolution files compatible with Avid Media Composer and Apple Final Cut Pro.

You can play back all recorded files on the LCD, and there is a built-in microphone and speaker for reviewing audio. Of course you will want to plug in high quality audio into the standard jack connectors and the audio is always recorded uncompressed for highest quality.

The integrated LCD has a touchscreen and when tapped, a window called the "slate" appears where you can type in shot information just like typing on a smartphone. This is then recorded into the file as metadata in the Final Cut Pro X and DaVinci Resolve format. Common data like shot number can auto increment to save time.

You can also change camera settings on this touch LCD, such as frame rate, shutter angle, color temperature, dynamic range, focus assist settings and more. The SDI output also has overlays showing you all the camera data when monitoring on set, and even the same data when playing back recorded files!

The design is machined from a solid block of aluminum and looks amazing. It's strong, very compact and designed to be easily hand held. I am still amazed we have fitted all this into such a small design, when normally features like RAW recorders and monitoring can be optional extras on cinema cameras.

A cinematographer friend of ours, John Brawley, has been working with the camera for the last few weeks. He's shot some test clips in the process of working out what the camera's capabilities are and we have posted them online for your to see. Even though some of them are just hand held test shots near John's house, they are still great to see as examples of what's creatively possible. Remember to select HD when viewing them!

L'intêrét des 5D Mark II et III demeure quand même le capteur 24*36. Ici il est quand même moitié plus petit  (15.6 * 8.8 utiles soit 2.4), et donc plus petit également que le GH2. Et puis il fait l'impasse sur le viseur et les XLR. Après ça reste à voir, la bête a l'air d'en avoir dans le ventre !
Ce qui m'étonne c'est que le RAW demande une puissance de calcul importante et donc s'intègre plus volontiers dans un workflow pro... Au prix disporpotionné par rapport à celui de cette caméra  .

Ok, le capteur est plus petit qu'un full frame et la profondeur de champs millimétrée du 5D ne sera clairement pas au rendez vous, ni certainement la sensibilité en basse lumière. En revanche, la dynamique gigantesque des images, c'est le jour et la nuit. Moi qui étalonne sur DaVinci depuis pas mal de temps, entre des images en RAW et des images de 5D que tu peux à peine toucher, c'est vraiment une révolution à ce prix.
Si tu lis les specs, il n'y a pas de XLR mais des jack symétriques en 6,35 (1/4") ce qui est exactement la même chose que des entrées XLR. D'autre part, tu peux switcher le niveau d'entrée de -8 à +4db. Ca renvoie les DSLR à la préhistoire.
Après, il faut aussi attendre d'avoir la cam entre les mains et la tester pour voir ce qu'elle a dans le ventre. Clairement, il y a forcément eu des compromis quelque part mais connaissant BMD, il y a peu de chance que ce soit une bouze.

rien que la pocket est déjà pas mal du tout en fait 

[Lagann]

Tester l'ancienne version en 2013 alors que la relève sort dans quelques mois je trouve ça un peu dommage mais bon...

En tout cas la version pocket sera mienne. J'imagine déjà un adaptateur Metabones pour réduire le coeff et un bon vieux grand angle. Genre un Tokina 11-16. Ca deviendrait un 24-36

Dommage pour le prix
