At the heart of the new C300 Mark II lays a brand new 8.85MP Super 35 CMOS 4K sensor capable if the phenomenal 15 stops of dynamic range.

NAB is off to a flying start with thousands of eager audio and video professionals flocking to the dessert oasis that is Las Vegas. And just like in the previous three years Aussie gear maker Blackmagic Design unleashed numerous new products, and of course a few new cameras. Something they've been doing for the past few years and surely become a standard. Whether that's a good thing, and we think it is, we'll let you decide.

Every year in the beginning of April thousands upon thousands of video professionals and industry folks descend upon the desert oasis and get lost in the lavishness of Las Vegas for the biggest broadcast video trade show in the world – The National Association of Broadcasters Show, or simply NAB Show.
