Reddit mentions of Blackmagic Design Micro Cinema Camera Body Only, with Micro Four Thirds Lens Mount, 13 Stops of Dynamic Range

Hi /u/fishbowl88 - for the same price as the BMPCC (plus the price of an inexpensive monitor), you might want to look at the [$995 Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera] (https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Cinema-Camera-Dynamic/dp/B00WNFK0P0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) instead.

The BMMCC records to 1080/60p RAW (the BMPCC is limited to 1080/30p) and uses Canon LP-E6 batteries (a lot better than the tiny Nikon EN-EL20 batteries my BMPCC uses).

With a [$9.83 cold shoe] (https://www.amazon.com/ALZO-Blackmagic-Cinema-Cameras-Pocket/dp/B00HQPF7PU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$6.69 cold shoe monitor mount] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019U7SYOW//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$149 LP-E6 powered monitor] (https://www.amazon.com/LILLIPUT-667GL-70NP-Camera-Monitor-BATTERY/dp/B00MB6M2L6///ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) - plus a lens and an SD card, this camera is ready to shoot images that look like this:

• [Behind The Scenes - “A Pirate’s Tale” by Noam Kroll] (https://vimeo.com/163465118) (interview shot in studio - BTS shot on location with the BMMCC, scenes from the film shot with the URSA Mini 4.6K)
  
  
• [The Gathering Karak Pancake Ad by Chema García (Mumford)] (https://vimeo.com/165262005)
  
  
• [Training Day - Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera by Simon Shasha] (https://vimeo.com/155747487) (available light - please note how the windows are not blown out)
  
  There isn't a video camera with better dynamic range (or a more robust codec) below $2K from Canon, Nikon, Panasonic or Sony.
  
  Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the best camera for your needs!
