To make the guide easier to digest, we've split it into two sections that cover different types of cinema cameras. For anyone looking for a stills camera that offers excellent video recording features, check out our guides on the best cameras for filmmaking and the best cameras for video. While many mirrorless cameras also offer very high-quality video, they are slightly different from cine cameras so they also haven't been included. We've excluded Arri and Red cameras from our list of best cinema cameras due to the fact they sell seriously high-end bits of kit that are a little out of the price range for most commercial filmmakers.

And yet, you can get this camera for less than $2000/£2000! This program is right up with Final Cut Pro (opens in new tab) and Adobe Premiere Pro as the three top-tier best video editing software programs of all. Its latest camera, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 can capture 6K Raw or Apple ProRes, with built-in support for custom user LUTs and Blackmagic's Davinci Resolve Studio software as part of the package. The company that's really blurring the boundaries between consumer and cinema cameras is Blackmagic.
