The Blackmagic Cinema 2.5K camera is our newest piece of equipment. If you liked the "HD-ness" of the latest WAN show, then I guess you already like it!

We went with Kingston HyperX 3K SSDs for our camera because they're on the validated list. Sandforce-based drives are perfect for use with this camera because of their strong write speeds and great performance with highly compressible data.

Dat price tag... I probably won't notice much of a difference on the videos until I buy a 2.5K/4K monitor. Can't wait!

Linus- can you review cheaper cameras with great features?

[Barrington]

hmm noticed at the end the outro had phones instead of gaming 

 

Nice little bit of foreshadowing going on there

Very nice camera... Are you actually going to film in 2.5K, or down-scale it to 1080p?

If you are going to start filming in 1440p, will you also upload to YouTube in 1440p?

 

Oh, and sockeye salmon...

Please start using this camera in your "day-to-day" videos. It would be nice for those of use that have 1440p monitors to utilize them on your YouTube videos. Let Linus know if you agree!

Funny I just created a video about this drive yesterday too. A year after using it has lost a lot of speed, can anyone tell my why?

 

Watch my video here.

 

 

The drive test is the one on the bottom, my S drive.

 

I just checked and the firmware is up to date.

 

I also reformatted the entire drive (slow foramt) and that did not help.

Hey there, Dave! Big fan

I know this is not helping you, but just wanted to say hi!

Update: I figured why my Kingston "S" scratch drive was running slow, I had it connected to a Marvel 6G port on my motherboard, when I connected it to my Intel 6G port, it was above 500MB/s on both read and write. I not know much about the Marvell ports but I have it set in AHCI mode in the Bios and others on the web say it just runs slow, so I will avoid it unless anyone knows how to make it fast. As for the Crucial 960GB M500 drive I am running the "Active Garbage Collection" for the next 8 hours to see if that will fix it.
