Blackmagic Design on a Future 35mm

[Rex Orwell]

"And the sensor we eventually found [on the Blackmagic Design Cinema] was just an off the shelf part and we got most of what we wanted on there to build the kind of incredible camera that we have. One of the things we hear a lot is "could you do a full size sensor or a 2/3rds sensor?" … certainly we could if we could find one discreetly, one that would be less than ten thousand dollars and do higher than HD resolution and high dynamic range with a large degree of stops – that would have been great. Would have been a 25 grand camera maybe…Now that the cat’s out of the bag once this camera ships and we can do updates or tweaks into it we can really figure out where to go from there." - Dan May
