We’ve seen several Blackmagic Cinema Camera samples from Australian based filmmaker John Brawley who has been given the opportunity to be the first to play with the much anticipated new indie filmmaking tool, at times the BMCC is now even referred to as the “baby Alexa” (a hype can go too far at times, let’s see this camera on a set first).

Image below is a 100% crop of image above. (open image above in new window for full res.) Is it the 5D mark 5? No, it’s a framegrab from the RED Epic-m camera that Vincent Laforet took at 96 frames per second, ISO 800. It’s 5K. That’s about 14 Megapixels. Why? You go ahead and answer that question in the comments. And if you’re as impressed as I am let us not forget that these cameras push the resolution, but don’t necessarily keep the quality and sharpness there as some others do.
