Blackmagic Design has unveiled a stripped-down version of their flagship large format cinema camera, the URSA Cine 12K LF Body, priced at $6,995. This strategic move appears aimed at experienced cinematographers and rental houses who already possess their own camera rigging solutions, while also providing a more accessible entry point to their 12K ecosystem. The new body-only variant maintains the core specifications of its fully-equipped sibling, including the 12K large format RGBW sensor (36 x 24mm) with its 14.5 stops of dynamic range (measured at SNR = 1 in our CineD Lab Test of the camera). What sets this version apart is what’s been removed rather than what’s included: gone are the shoulder mount, handles, multiple lens mounts, battery plates, power supply, and the 8TB media module that shipped with the original package. No high-capacity media module, but dual CFexpress Type B slots Instead of the 8TB media module, Blackmagic has included a dual CFexpress card module, providing a more standard – if less capacious – storage solution. The camera ships with an (locking) EF mount as standard, with PL and LPL mounts available as separate purchases. The timing of this release is particularly interesting, as it comes when many production houses are weighing their options for high-resolution acquisition. While 12K might seem excessive for many current delivery formats, the ability to shoot in multiple resolutions (12K, 8K, or 4K) at full sensor size offers significant flexibility. The camera’s impressive frame rates – up to 80 fps at 12K 3:2,...
