Quote from DPReview.com:

“The size benefit of the Micro Four Thirds system is of particular benefit when it comes to rigging the camera for motion picture capture.

The Panasonic GH2, for example, was recently used to shoot sequences on a RC multi-copter in remote central Africa for BBC TV show Top Gear.

They produced sweeping aerial shots that would have required a full sized helicopter and pilot for full-sized cinema cameras.”

Novo: Modified GoPro for Cinematography

Black Magic Cinema 4K

Quote from DPReview.com:

All the DSLRs shoot 8bit 4-2-0 to the compressed H.264 format which is no match for Raw or 10 bit Apple ProRes 4-2-2

For example, theBlackmagic Cinema Camera and forthcoming Pocket Cinema Camera, outperform in terms of colour accuracy and smooth subtle steps between shades.

Black Magic Pocket Cinema

The future of Aerial Cinematography?

One of the most important features of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is its super wide dynamic range of 13 stops, allowing feature film quality images.

Most cameras, even ones with higher than HD resolution, can produce"video" looking images that suffer from highlight and black clipping that limits details.

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera's wide dynamic range eliminates this problem and provides film quality with dramatically more detail retained in black and whites in the image.
