Cameras appropriate for studio and live event production work come in all shapes and sizes, but none is as unique as the Blackmagic Design Studio Camera 4K. This camera comes in two models, the Studio Camera 4K Plus and the Studio Camera 4K Pro, the main difference between the two being price and I/O. They share the same unique form factor associated with previous studio cameras from Blackmagic Design, which is to say they look more like a monitor with a lens mounted to the front than a camera. While this seems like a bold design choice at first, from an end-user standpoint, it’s pretty brilliant. The shape lends itself to being packed side by side in a pelican case for productions that have constant setup and tear down. Few, if any, other cameras can claim as much. The camera can be connected with a single cable and receive all the advanced features we have come to expect from studio-style cameras like; talkback, tally, camera control, and CCU colour correction. The camera is really in a class all by itself.
