I don't know anything about photography, but curious to know what the cheapest "pro" alternative is. The phone is now $1200! This feature is cool, but if you wanted that feature, is it cheaper in a purpose-built device?
- yabones 3y agoThe original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema was about $500 on sale, but only shot in 1080p. The new generation is about $1300. And then you have to buy lenses :) So, overall it's not bad value. It's not going to replace pro gear any time soon, but it's great that it can do stuff like this now.
