BlackMagic 2.5K RAW Camera for $3000

Black Magic has been getting a lot of internet buzz with their 2.5K RAW camera designed to use Canon (EF)  and Zeiss lenses.  It has a price point of $2995 and that includes a license of Di Vinci Resolve which costs $1000 bucks.  They throw that in because the camera shoots RAW so you have to color correct everything.


The entire back of the camera is a touch screen menu/monitor.  It can output to a computer via SDI or Thunderbolt but mainly records to SSD's.  


I not so excited about the 4/3 sensor that's somewhere between than 16mm and 35mm.  The battery is also internal and not exchangeable but you can power the camera externally.  Available in July.
