Once again Blackmagic Design has listened to its customers and delivered a camera that many have been asking for. It’s called Blackmagic PYXIS 6K and while it shares many similarities with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K that was released last year (like the sensor) it now has the cube-form factor that was requested ever since the release of that camera. Let’s see what’s on offer! PYXIS box camera: Full-frame sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range This sensor is 36 x 24 mm and according to Blackmagic Design offers a dynamic range of 13 stops. See our lab test of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K to find out whether we found this to be accurate. The resolution is 6048 x 4032, almost three times larger than a Super 35. It has dual native ISO of up to 25,600 for good low light performance.
