Introduction to the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K

- Hey there. I'm Robbie Carman. - And I'm Rich Harrington. - And, Rich, this week we're talking about a piece of professional gear that I've been longing for for quite some time, actually, over a year now. - Yeah. - And that is the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K and this is an ultra high definition 4Kish, if you know; - Yeah. - We'll get into that in just a sec; camera from Blackmagic and there's been a lot of buzz about this camera and it's really neat. - Yeah, there's a lot of interest in this camera like all things Blackmagic, there are things about this camera I love and there are a couple of things that leave me scratching my head and we're going to cover both the pros and the cons with the workflow. - Absolutely, and if you've ever used the Blackmagic Cinema Camera; the 2.5K camera that Blackmagic has; almost everything about that camera and this camera are identical, down to the form factor, the screen, the buttons; the real big differences are, of course, the sensor and the ability of this camera to record ultra-high definition. - Yeah, and just to be clear, we're working with one of the final sort of production models. This is one that's one of the first ones of the line, first ones that hit the store; - Yup - We've borrowed this from our friends over at Adorama and this is not actually the camera that's being sold yet; - Right. - Those cameras are supposed to be coming on the market probably at the time you're watching this, so we have one that's supposed to match the final specs, but, all things saying, this is not the final shipping camera. - Sure. - So, there could be slight differences between the two. Alright, with that in mind, let's kick things off and we're going to take a look at what we love about the camera.
