Hey everyone!
Long time lurker, first time posting.
I am admittedly still using and liking my Original BMCC 2.5k, but the new Ursa Mini 12K is very intriguing.
The footage from the new Ursa Mini 12K just looks very good. I am having a difficult time even defining it. I think it's the color, the rolloff and just something non-harsh that I often attribute to a lot of digital footage. Despite the resolution, for lack of a better way to say it, there is a flattering smoothness to it. I can only chalk this up to Blackmagic's new sensor design. I know a few people like John Brawley on his wordpress page have delved into this non bayer sensor a bit. I suppose I am trying to wrap my mind around this "new tech". I'm not sure it will even be fair to measure it using the previous standards or parameters.
As others get their hands on the camera, I would love to see more footage and hear their experiences with what they are discovering in post, as far as dynamic range, color, rolloff, etc. I also look forward to seeing how different lenses play with the new 12K. For instance the new Laowa OOOM 25-100mm Cine lens
https://laowacine.com would be interesting to see. At just $5,000 for a Cine zoom, it seems like it might be a nice budget paring for the Ursa Mini. Or the new cine zoom lenses from DZOFilm look interesting as well. If anyone is able to get their hands on any of these new budget lenses, please share your results. I look forward to seeing and hearing about everyone's experiences.
