It can deliver 13 stops of dynamic range and dual ISO performance up to 25,600.

The new camera now uses L-mount lenses instead of Canon EF mount they used in previous models.

The Cinema Camera 6K is capable of capturing footage in a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, including DCI 4K and 6K. Additionally, it can capture high-resolution still images with up to 24.6 megapixels.

It records videos in the 12-bit Blackmagic RAW (BRAW), Apple ProRes and H.264 proxy formats. The camera cleverly allows for convenient storage of videos on a CFexpress B or an SSD directly using the USB-C port.

The camera sports a 5-inch tilting HDR touchscreen with up to 1,500 nits brightness.

It also offers a variety of audio ports, including a locking XLR port, an HDMI output, and the option to use NP-F570 batteries with a locking DC power connector.
