If you don’t want to shoot in 4.6K but want RAW, you will want to choose your lenses accordingly. The URSA Mini Pro 4.6K, depending on your use, will require you to spend a little more money making the camera work for you. First, the camera doesn’t have any type of monitoring outside of its 4-inch touch screen. If you need an EVF or studio viewfinder, Blackmagic Design has you covered, but they aren’t cheap. We reviewed the camera with the optional URSA Viewfinder; it costs 1,500 bucks. If you are in a studio setting and need a tally light or a larger screen, the URSA Studio Viewfinder with a 7-inch screen will do, but it’s 1,800 dollars.
Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro 12K review
We compared the similarities and differences between this camera and the Canon EOS R5, Z CAM E2-F8 Full-Frame 8K Cinema Camera, RED KOMODO and the Sony FX9. Because this camera shoots HDR, its monitor is 1000nit bright for real HDR preview. When shooting with the sun at our back the brightness helped. If it wasn’t that bright, the limited articulation of the monitor leaves you wanting.

The E2-F8 is a full-frame camera that captures 8K 12-bit ZRAW internally to Cfast 2.0 media. Though the design of the E2-F8 is for cinema, it’s a modular camera. With a modular camera, you add on what you need for your specific need. So there are no built-in ND, the buttons and form factor make it awkward at best without some serious investment in rigging. Its Super 35 image sensor is nearly 80 megapixels (MP), which is insane. Because 12K is 4 times the resolution of 4K, if the final product is 4K, any noise reduces in size by 4 times.

Nowhere else will you get this much camera for that low of a price. The image quality easily competes with competing cameras that come at ten times the cost. And for the dedicated videographer/cinematographer, the image is going to be far superior to anything you will get out of a mirrorless SLR hybrid. One more thing that could be a benefit or a drawback, depending on your shooting style, is the body format.

URSA Broadcast G2 has a high quality microphone and professional audio recorder built in so you don’t have to carry any extra sound equipment! That means you can use the built in stereo microphone or you can connect external microphones. The XLR connections have 48V phantom power so you can plug in everything from shotgun to wireless clip on mics. URSA Broadcast G2 also features knobs for adjusting levels and onscreen meters so you can trim audio levels even when shoulder mounted.
Blackmagic URSA
Blackmagic Cloud and clip sharing features compatible with and DaVinci Resolve 18.6 or later. Detects camera information embedded in the SDI signal from URSA, URSA Mini and Blackmagic 3G-SDI Shield for Arduino. Holds hard to mount accessories such as wireless receivers, USB disks or phone for streaming. Rotating attachment point for a video light or LED panel to illuminate your subject.

Yet it took me no more than five minutes to figure out how to get the camera operational. The layout of the menu in the URSA Mini Pro 12K is incredibly easy to navigate. No digging into submenu after submenu just to do the basics.
Includes DaVinci Resolve Studio
The unique design of the Blackmagic URSA Mini Recorder means it attaches directly to the back of your URSA Broadcast G2 between the camera and the battery. It’s controlled via the USB-C so you don’t have to worry about manually starting or stopping the SSD recorder. Digital film cameras shoot logarithmic colorspace to preserve the dynamic range, which is great for later post production. However, when these files are viewed on a monitor they can look flat and washed out. 3D LUTs solve this problem as they allow you to apply a "look" to the monitor so you get an idea of how the finished images will look when editing. LUTs can be applied temporarily for monitoring only, or they can be recorded into the Blackmagic RAW files for use in post production.
Features
Professional cameras need to be able to handle extreme situations as well as years of heavy use. URSA Broadcast G2 features a super strong magnesium alloy body that’s extremely tough so it can handle the bumps and knocks that consumer cameras cannot handle. The magnesium alloy is lightweight, internally there is a whole separate cooling system that pipes heat from the electronics into the heat exchanger.
It also features a low light sensor so you get amazing images using natural light. That's the perfect combination for broadcast news and programming. In conclusion, Blackmagic created a truly innovative camera, as its almost 80MP sensor captures the image to the Blackmagic RAW captures. The camera offers all of the bells and whistles you need on a camera.
Uncompressed RAW in the Blackmagic records at 4.1 Gbps while with the Canon, Cinema RAW Light records at only 1 Gbps. At less than a quarter the size, Cinema RAW light is much more efficient. However, we must mention that the increased resolution of RAW from the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K means files will inherently be larger. With a fold out LCD screen, you don't need to bring extra monitoring! The monitor simply folds out and pivots up and down, making it super easy to shoot either down low or up high above the crowd.
With a solid build, innovative capture and specs, the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K is a beast. Because we typically use an URSA Mini 4K in our productions, the differences between the cameras were easy to spot. The most noticeable and high value offering in the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K is its improved dynamic range over the 4K sensor. Blackmagic claims 15 stops of dynamic range in the 4.6K sensor, and compared to the 12 stops on the 4K sensor, it shows. We set up both the 4K and 4.6K URSA Minis with the same lens, distance from the subject, and exposure. The scene was lit to have one side almost over-exposed and the other side in full darkness.

The URSA has a larger top resolution at 4.6K over DCI 4K on the C200. Additionally, the top frame rate of 120 fps on the URSA is available at a higher resolution at 2K over the 120 fps in HD available on the C200. We found ourselves with the first URSA at 16.5 pounds (lbs) and needed a tripod, but tripods with that weight capacity aren’t cheap. This camera weighs less at 5.1lbs, but the battery will weigh between two and three pounds and the lens adds another pound and a half to two pounds.
Shooting in camera in smaller sizes has the advantage of still using the whole area of the sensor and also unlocks higher frame rates. Automatically populated lens data from electronic B4 lenses. Scene average auto exposure in video and extended video mode.
ISO 200, 400 and 800 are noise-free, we would not hesitate to bounce between the three. By ISO 1600 noise enters the image, but not enough that we wouldn’t use ISO 1600. However, it is enough that we wouldn’t shoot any higher than 800 with 1600 there for edge cases.
