A full‑frame 12K cinema camera for under $6,000?! Why? HOW!?

12K PYXIS at B&H: https://bhpho.to/3NGDJJF

The new Blackmagic PYXIS 12K delivers jaw‑dropping specs at a price that makes no sense: a 12,288 × 8040 sensor, 16 stops of dynamic range, and modular box‑style design that rivals cameras costing three times as much. It’s powerful, disruptive, and built for filmmakers who value image quality over convenience. Of course, there are trade‑offs: no continuous autofocus, no internal ND filters, and massive storage demands.

Interestingly, the PYXIS 6K version just received a firmware update adding continuous autofocus, showing where Blackmagic is heading with usability. If you want to check out the PYXIS 12K or 6K for yourself, head to B&H here: https://bhpho.to/3NGDJJF

For those of you shooting in tight environments, I’ve also created a dedicated Small Spaces Portrait Course to help you master lighting, posing, and composition even when space is limited. You can find it here: https://linktr.ee/mattgranger
