  RE: OT: new camera from Blackmagic Design
  I have seen some really spectacular footage from both cameras, but in the end it comes down to why you want 4K? As there is almost zero demand for 4K release, the majority will be using it to give themselves room to move and re-frame in post, or

  RE: OT: new camera from Blackmagic Design
  I think the most complete camera is the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. It has the least issues, is the lowest cost, and needs the least spent on it to shoot pictures with. As there is almost no demand for 4K release at present, the only thing a

  RE: Proposal to fellow forum members
  Actually there is such a camera: the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera. Very light, small, and very capable. Needs to be tarted up with accessories for production, but quite usable in bare form.

  Received. The crash is in this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Blackmagic Design\Blackmagic Desktop Video\BMDCodecMJPG64.dll It's likely this is caused by the exact same Win8 64-bit randomization issue that's been causing startup crashes for so many
