Kinda let down...
Don't get me wrong, the Ursa and micro cameras are great and everything.
But I feel that even the ursa mini is a bit on the big side (I was never into shoulder mounted cameras) and the micro is a bit on the too small side.

Last night I was getting super excited...
Especially after I saw this rumor:
http://www.43rumors.com/ft2-is-that-the-new-4k-blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-ii/

It was the perfect size, not too much internal recording, not too little either.
I was imagining preordering 2 of these. But alas... t'was just a rumor.

mkabi,

Blackmagic was out to make a cinema camera to directly rival the FS7, right down to the size and weight. Mission accomplished. AND, they made it with a native EF mount, internal 4K RAW and ProRes, and $2000 cheaper than the FS7... $4000 cheaper if you consider the necissity to add the $2000 accessory to the Sony just to get the RAW and ProRes the BMC already has. MEGA HUGE WIN for blackmagic. They are doing what Canon SHOULD be doing

What time is the Blackmagic press conference. Really looking forward to learning more about the URSA mini. Still can't believe it is only US$ 2995.

I'm curious about the mini, but wait for the reviews. It ends up about the same price as the Sony: $4999 for the version with 15 stops DR, and you have to add another $2000 for the shoulder mount and Viewfinder. There is no viewfinder on the base unit, so it's almost a must to buy the $1500 view finder.

I'm hoping this is the killer camera of the year, and still $9000 less than the C300 mk II, with viewfinder and shoulder mount
