The main difference lies in their maximum resolution and sensor size. Specs-wise these cameras are virtually identical. We will focus on testing several aspects of sensor performance and evaluate the image quality. To make this review fair, we will also throw the popular Sony FS7 into the mix as an additional reference camera. The new 4.6K sensor is 15% larger and similar in size to the ARRI Alexa and Canon C300 mark II sensors. The 4K sensor on the Blackmagic URSA Mini 4K is the same that was used on the large URSA camera and on the Blackmagic Production Camera.

What really differentiates one from the other is mostly the sensor as far as we can tell. Inside the body they probably also share most of the same innards. On the outside these two cameras look identical. Comparison: Blackmagic URSA Mini 4K vs 4.6K Let’s take a look at the guts of the 4K vs 4.6K Blackmagic URSA Mini cinema camera in our lab.
