Black magic just announced a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for what what appears to be getting cinema level shots from a slightly bigger than gopro package. Expensive, but super cool. Stoked to try it.
Its a 16mm sensor with 13 stops range and uses an active mount mirco four thirds lens mounting system, which means it can use...pretty much any lens with an adapter. a cheap bower/rokinon 7.5mm fisheye give you a decent 22mm (35mm equiv.) field of view and would be light easy to mount just about anywhere. Very cool.

Looks cool. A thousand bucks, plus interchangeable lenses? I've seen worse offerings.
My question is about the durability. GoPros are pretty tough, and I'd definitely feel worried attaching this to the side of a car.

Its a full magnesium frame so no/little plastic. I bet it can take a hit. The great news about Black Magics small cameras is that they seem to take a dump in price about a year in. So in a year you could probably get this for 700-800. Considering I have all the lenses and adapters I need (and batteries) its an easy sell for me.

This is going to help a lot of production teams get fantastic shots. Looking forward to watching those videos.
That being said, I don't see a huge consumer market for this due to need for lenses and lack of GoPro durability.

HOLY HELL ITS GLOBAL SHUTTER! Well that seals the deal. No more jello shot for my POV's!

How sturdy are the lenses? Those would be the things I'd be worried about taking a hit.
What kind of stuff do you shoot?

consumer demand will certainly be soft considering GoPro owns the market, but this is going to change the game for the mid/high level drone operator.

Lenses are whatever you want. Cheap $200 lenses on up. I shoot short narratives for a hospital system, but we are upping our game all the time for production values.

This would be a perfect fit for my workflow. WE have half a dozen GoPros right now to get the strange shots, a Black Magic URSA EF for the cinema money shots and a Panasonic GH4 for the killer roaming stuff. The fact that its Global shutter ALONE makes me desire this little camera greatly. The URSA is global shutter but its not the kind of thing you strap to a car.

Admittedly, I really need to just focus on increasing my knowledge of photography and filming in general first. haha
