I saw this (which I assume to be an accurate chart) and I was surprised by the complete absence of Blackmagic on this list. I mean even an iPhone and a Digital Bolex are present...WTF?
As it should be obvious by now, I am a big fan of Blackmagic products and have been using them on most of my productions. I find the color science to be well suited for narrative work, and I love the seamless ecosystem between BlackmagicRAW and Resolve.
What puzzles me is why, even after more than a decade, Blackmagic is still struggling to break into the field more strongly despite having such a strong stable of products? Speaking with several camera professionals here in Los Angeles, there appears to be a reputation that precedes Blackmagic cameras as toy-like an unsuited for "serious" production. As a part-time CG artist, it reminds me a lot of how many in that field regard Blender.
I guess ultimately it doesn't matter that much to me, as long as Blackmagic continues to make cameras that I enjoy shooting with, that's really all that is important for me. But still, the question remains...
