We visited NAB in Vegas this past week and the first two things we checked out were the new Blackmagic URSA and Blackmagic Studio Cameras. We were excited to see these cameras up close and learn more about their specs. If you weren’t able to attend NAB and want to learn more about the new Blackmagic cameras, watch our videos below.
Here’s what we currently know about the Blackmagic URSA specs:

The Blackmagic Studio camera comes in two versions, HD and 4K.
