Over the last few years, we’ve increasingly seen manufacturers-like Canon, Alexa, and Sony -truncate their powerful cinema cameras into more handheld-friendly devices. And, while we certainly know that every brand loves to have the new, hot camera at NAB every year, it might be understandable for Blackmagic to let any BMPCC8K (or 12K?) sit in development for just a bit longer not to nerf its own products’ value too much. However, the other question might be: Is the time genuinely right for another version of the BMPCC?īy all indications, the BMPCC6K is still quite popular (as is the 4K). As someone who’s used the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K quite a bit and loved it (as well as being an adamant admirer of the 6K version), it certainly doesn’t hurt for an even better version to come out.Īnd, as we’ll go into below, it’s not like Blackmagic doesn’t have the technology to make this happen, with 8K possibly and 12K cinema cameras already available. So, this seems like the most obvious one to me. Yet, while we’ve certainly covered many of the manufacturer’s more significant announcements over the years (like the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K or the URSA Mini Pro 12K), at the industry’s current pace, it’s naive to think that we’re not in store for more exciting releases and updates here in the next year.īut, what might that mean for Blackmagic Design here in 2022? Let’s look at some prevalent rumors, popular requests, and other fun speculations for this year. In 2021, we saw the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 release, Blackmagic Web Presenter 4K, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, and many more post-production hardware and software releases.

The much-beloved company, which is a hybrid camera manufacturer, software developer, and post-production hardware manufacturer, has continued to make serious strides in a digital video industry traditionally dominated by big-name legacy brands like Canon, Sony, and Panasonic. In what is starting to feel like a repetitive statement, we have to say that “this has been another big year for Blackmagic Design.” Let’s explore what we can possibly expect from popular digital cinema company Blackmagic Design.
