One of the surprise reveals at NAB 2025 was the Pixboom Spark, a new high-speed 4K cinema camera from a fresh player in the professional space. With a BSI global shutter sensor and the ability to shoot 1000 fps at full 4K resolution, the Spark is designed with accessibility in mind, making advanced imaging more achievable for indie productions, small crews, and creative teams with big ambitions but tight resources.
At a glance:
- Super 35 sensor
- Global shutter for distortion-free motion capture
- Compact form factor
- Lossless raw recording
- Still in development, but promising for stylized action, commercial work, or even VFX-heavy shorts
As cinematographers continue to balance creative vision with practical constraints, tools like this could open the door to more experimentation in motion and light.
