The Camera is difficult to use. Does not have auto focus. Can only be used with Davinci Resolve Editor which is also a pain to use. People at B&H can't help you with anything. They bundle stuff together they get a couple of sales and thats it. They don't care.

Great camera. Very professional. Has every connection that you will need. Would be nice if Blackmagic sent a list of accessories that you would/could need to use with this camera including Focus Demand, Zoom demand, MFT lenses, etc. Major gain adjustments needed in low light. I'm concerned on how grainy my video might look in low light conditions.

The camera seems to work fine. I've spent way too much time sorting out the built in intercom side of things. You have two options; 3.5mm TRRS, and 5-pin XLR. Having built intercom systems before I assumed the 5-Pin XLR was going to be the easy route. The manual says it will output bias voltage on pins 1&2 for an electret microphone. I've not found this to be the case. I've tried two cameras and numerous electret microphones and I've not measured any voltage on pins 1&2. A lot of frustrations here. The headset that was purchased for this project used dual 3.5mm TRS plugs so an adapter was needed to combine them down to the 3.5mm TRRS jack. That worked fine, but I've had a lot of 3.5mm plugs snap off (I deal with students and faculty that are rough on equipment). I ... MoreThe camera seems to work fine.

I was able to get the 5-pin jack to work if bias voltage is inserted external of the camera and I was able to get it to work with a dynamic mic so it's not a complete show stopper, but it does make it much harder to get to work. Blackmagic tech support was not that much use. My advice is if you are planning on using the built in intercom system then do a lot of research and plan on spending more time than expected on something that should be simple.

It's a BMD camera in it's first release, so it almost goes without saying that it's a mixed bag. The good - the screen is huge and clear. The I/O is very good, and I've had no issues with the 12G-SDI. It's nice to finally have a BMD camera with phantom power, but the lack of metering makes it pretty much a moot point. The bad - the hood is ridiculous. It gets in the way of every possible accessory mounting option because it's so thick. Add 1/4 to every single mount you use to make it work. The MFT mount leaves a lot to be desired in compatibility. I'm using EF lenses and an Adaptimax converter. Since the lens is full manual the lack of electronics isn't an issue for me, but if you have a bag full of electronic lenses, you're going to need a creative solution.

Since the lens is full manual the lack of electronics isn't an issue for me, but if you have a bag full of electronic lenses, you're going to need a creative solution. The lack of audio metering and histogram/waveforms is truly a frustrating thing considering BMD has heard about this as a must on every single camera so far. In the end, it's a good camera, but the applications are very limited.
This is my first exposure to a mid-range Studio camera and I'll post some updates later, but I wanted to give some first impressions. I've used cameras such as the Canon XA35 and that class. I'm very impressed with the screen and screen options. I have a hard time sometimes in bright light and it looks like it'll make things a lot easier to view outdoors. I do either event or active sports and it looks good for both. I bought the zoom and focus demands, but you really need to research the lenses as the demands won't work with most other lenses even though B&H has a recommended lens. The recommended lens doesn't work with the demands and are the same price as working lenses. Blackmagic has a small list of lenses that are supposed to work with both.

The recommended lens doesn't work with the demands and are the same price as working lenses. Blackmagic has a small list of lenses that are supposed to work with both. I bought one and it works great. I have a Manfrotto 503 head and quality manfrotto tripod, but it was too heavy in the back with the handles and demands, so I'll upgrade to the new manfrotto heads Manfrotto 608 Nitrotech. Currently I have to lock the head vertically which limits action shots. The camera zoom and focus demands did not work initially with the software that was installed on the camera. I did a software upgrade and they work flawlessly. My next step is to tie into my Blackmagic video switchers and 4K capture and see how it goes. I am a writer so sorry for the verbiage, but I hope it saved some hours for others. I'll do further reviews as I experience the camera, but I'm very impressed, especially with the price.
After setting up a multi cam streaming system using cheap camera to test it we pretty quickly realized that we need to step up to something better. These were a nice compromise between needs, features and price. Gave us everything we need without breaking the bank.Plenty of adjustments and features for just about any need however remember this does not include a lens. Since we're streaming and the resulting image is being compressed we didn't have the requirements for a high end cine lens so sticking with a relatively inexpensive zoom worked well for us. Mounted to the camera as expected and easy to control.I'll be replacing the rest of our test cameras with more of these and relegating those test ones to other simple uses throughout the office.
Our school's TV Studio purchased 3 of these, plus 3 focus/zoom demands, plus 3 Tamron MFT lenses, which B&H have listed in the accessories, but not on Blackmagic list of recommended lenses. Cannot zoom with the Zoom Demand. Tally light is hidden because of teleprompter hood. And, after reading several of the questions and reviews, the tally light will not work with our Roland switcher, which we already had. Only the ATEM. The manual is helpful, but the zoom will not operate. That's the main drawback for us.
We have been using M43 GH5 & GH5s and BMPCC4K to live stream church service with good results...but the tiny screen, lack of XLR audio (having to use adapter), awkward menu etc. from the GH series made it less than ideal. Was blown away by how well engineered the BM Studio Pro camera is. The the BEAUTIFUL 7 HDR screen with BM's simple menu structure is perfect for volunteers and will result in less mistakes. The low noise floor XLR audio has a lots of latitude and is superb. The ability to control the camera via HDMI from the ATEM mini & (free) software is so nice! The tally light, ethernet/SDI (if you need it) screw down power connector (no accidental disconnect) and other features are unheard of for this price. Perhaps best of all, is the 12 bit BRAW goodness with ... MoreWe have been using M43 GH5 & GH5s and BMPCC4K to live stream church service with good results...but the tiny screen, lack of XLR audio (having to use adapter), awkward menu etc. from the GH series made it less than ideal.

Perhaps best of all, is the 12 bit BRAW goodness with the press of a button. Connect a cheap SSD via USB-C and you can record 12 bit raw video and 24 bit high qaulity audio while your live-streaming. Perfect for music specials or other high value parts of a service. Can use the camera to capture interviews, again in 12 bit raw/24 bit audio and edit in the fantastic Davinci Resolve. I am one happy customer!!! This is a nice piece of equipment. Don't listen to the whiners about the screen get's hot etc. For church livestreams with low skill volunteers and high quality interviews etc. this camera is unparalleled.
I bought one of these about 4 months ago because I thought it sounded like a great idea... can run fiber, SDI out/in, 10 screen, etc. I was going to use it in an PEG Access studio with good lighting. I fiddled with adjustments on the camera and the lens that I bought for it, an Olympus 12-50mm. Not a terribly expensive lens, but added with the BMD camera, it put me in the price range around some other ENG camcorders. I connected this to a TriCaster 860 via SDI. I also connected a Panasonic AC130 via component cables. I then split the screen on a monitor, shooting the same object, from the same distance, at the same angle... you get the point. It was no contest. The Panasonic won hands down. The BMD seemed very grainy. Now, I'm not a broadcast engineer, so maybe the ... MoreI bought one of these about 4 months ago because I thought it sounded like a great idea... can run fiber, SDI out/in, 10 screen, etc. I was going to use it in an PEG Access studio with good lighting.

It should have at least been comparable to the Panasonic. I think there are better options if you're looking for a decent prosumer studio camera.
We just bought three Blackmajor HD studios cameras for a small Tv studio we are building. I would highly recommend AGAINST buying another Blackmagic. I have had nothing but terrible experiences with them. 1) We had three inexpensive Sony cameras in there and under the lights we had put up they were shooting at a 4.5-5.6 at 0 db gain. Under the same lighting the Blackmagic cameras we had to put te camera at 12 db gain to get an image. That's right, they have terrible sensitivity. 2) There seems to be absolutely no way to turn off the auto iris. We have been frustrated with this for over month now and there is nothing on the web or that Blackmagic puts out to help us. We set up the remote camera shading in the control room, but there are no F-stops on the iris control ... MoreWe just bought three Blackmajor HD studios cameras for a small Tv studio we are building.

We set up the remote camera shading in the control room, but there are no F-stops on the iris control at all. Its just rolling up or down and guessing. 3) We bought zoom lenses that we were told by Blackmagic at their booth at last years CCW show in NYC would work with their camera. They work, but they won't zoom with the recommended handle controllers. In fact they were only manual zooms - something Blackmagic did not say. So we sent them back and asked Blackmagic for a list of servo zoom lenses that actually worked with their camera. They sent us their list of all two lenses! Both very short zooms. 4)Out of the box, two of the cameras the handle zoom/iris/record control that Blackmagic stated worked with their camera didn't. One camera it did. We had to download and install firmware updates. All three now work. Why did one work and the other two not? 5)Two of the cameras the peaking doesn't turn on no matter what we try and do and one of the cameras we can't turn off the peaking. So far no advice from Blackmagic on how to fix this problem. 6) Blackmagic has extremely bad customer support. When you talk to them they don't seem to know their own product and then switch you between people. I doubt we will ever buy anything from Blackmagic again.
