Blackmagic design Studio Camera 6K Pro

Information

Designed as the ultimate studio camera, Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro adds a larger 6K Super 35 sensor and EF lens mount for true cinematic images in live production. There are built in ND filters that let you reduce the amount of light entering the camera, allowing you to work in a wider range of situations, including in bright sunlight. Plus stream direct to the internet with built in streaming! You also get 12G‑SDI, HDMI and 10G Ethernet which allows all connections on a single cable for a SMPTE style workflow that's much lower cost.
