This massive data rate can eat up your storage space fairly quickly, especially when you have multiple back-ups for your footage. At 2.5K resolution, a single frame of CinemaDNG video (1/24th of a second) can run up to 5MB in size, or ~7GB a minute. However, to handle this amazing image quality, all Blackmagic and ML Raw cameras record to a the data-intensive CinemaDNG format. No other cameras in that price range ($500-$4000) can capture such high quality imagery at up to resolutions of 4.6K. Most people who know me or follow my blog know I'm a huge fan of the Magic Lantern Raw 'hack' and Blackmagic cameras, not only due to their great price-to-performance ratio but also because they can use the great CinemaDNG format to capture raw video. Update 1/2016: Added reference to new lossy compression feature.
