The Cinema Camera is a built as a high end cinema camera with a 2.5K sensor ,a built-in high bandwidth SSD recorder, a full version DaVinci Resolve for color correction and a larger than usual LCD display.

This unique camera also makes use of standard connections so that you do not have to buy special cables to connect to a computer or other output device. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera is expected to be available in the market by July of this year. It is expected to cost US$2,995.
