Here are the winners of the Tipa Awards 2024 :. I don’t like that award because it looks like they created so many “artificial” categories so that every n manufacturer can claim at least one prize. For example when we talk about choosing the best of the best cameras we have categories like “professional” “high-end professional” “hybrid professional” and “high-end” camera ?!?!?!?!!?

On the show floor at NAB 2024, we stopped by Blackmagic Design’s booth to learn more about their upcoming URSA Cine 17K from Business Development Manager Stuart Ashton. The camera is still under development and won’t start shipping before the end of this year, but we could still get an idea of what is all about. Let’s take a look!

I am impressed Blackmagic did this kind of effort. it might force the hand of the big guys like Sony

Sometimes I think I’m not part of this world. I was sure that this Micro Yashica camera would not make significant sales, but now I see that they have raised almost half a million dollars on Kickstarter !

It would be interesting to study why this cheap made plastic camera with low quality image did go viral. What’s really so special on this one? I don’t really get it. Let me know in the comment system why you think this is selling strong!
