The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera from Blackmagic Design is a compact Super 16 format camera designed for digital film production. The Super 16 sized sensor has an effective resolution of 1920 x 1080 and is capable of capturing 13 stops of dynamic range. The Pocket Cinema Camera records Full HD video in either the lossless CinemaDNG RAW or Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) format. The active Micro Four Thirds lens mount can accommodate a growing range of MFT format lenses as well as a host of excellent legacy lenses via optional adapters. Blackmagic Design has packed all of these impressive features into a remarkably compact (5 x 2.6 x 1.5") and lightweight (12.5 oz) magnesium alloy chassis.

This is suppisively a good deal for a video camera. Still out of my budget with needing a lenses and all.

My Sony a6000 APS-C has slightly better dynamic range. If the sensor were larger it would probably be a better deal.

I looked up that Blackmagic camera on Amazon last week and too many people were complaining about issues.

The a6000 also takes great pictures

The Blackmagic really only has the Raw and ProRes recording as its only redeeming features, but even then I can just slap an Atomos Ninja on my a6000 for only $300. Not to mention you can adapt any lens ever made to the e-mount.
