Blackmagic Design – perhaps best known for its external film recording boxes – has announced a cinema-quality video camera, compact-style at NAB.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera captures 2.5K, 12-bit RAW footage on a sensor similar to the micro-four thirds seen in EVIL cameras. In a similar way that EVIL cameras brought SLR quality to smaller bodies, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera brings cinema-quality video to a compact size.

It also claims an impressive 13 stops of dynamic range, and features a Canon EF mount. Built for demanding video shooters on the go, the Cinema Camera includes a touch screen and thunderbolt connection for speedy transfers. The camera does come with a hefty price tag: $3000.
