New Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K

[Jake Wilganowski]

All agree with you Zack, I do not think the Komodo will allow Red to face Blackmagic or Z-cam ... because the Komodo will stay on a price still too high.
This, even if the sensor is a recovery of the Red Raven or that we stay on a beautiful dynamic range of 16 + ... it will not change much, to the point that we add 2 to $ 3000 more ...

The only weak point of the Pocket 6K is that the monitor remains fixed and the dynamic range is limited to 13+.
But the rest makes this camera a beast without equivalent.

The next Z-cam will have the advantage of having a more "reassuring" body than the BP6K, with a more pro mount.
But Z-cam remains a very young company that does not have the experience of Red or Blackmagic.

It is still possible that Red, with the Komodo, surprises us by revealing a spectacular price ... but I doubt it.

Answer, soon? ...

16+? So just referencing spec sheets? Cmon. The blackmagic is a beast no doubt.

The 4k also got a free resolution/fps bump with the latest firmware.

4k 2.4:1 at 75fps, ~5k anamorphic (2880x2160 = 2x desqueeze to 5760x2160>5120x2160 for 2.4:1) at 80fps, and ~3k (2688x1512) at 120fps. Pretty substantial bumps for a ~$1000 camera.

If they can manage to poop out a firmware update that gives BRaw at 4K/60FPS, it'd make the camera a solid must-have for me and a lot of other people.

In what way is that better than 5744x3024 60fps BRAW?
4K60fps BRAW will only give you 3.2K RGB in the best case scenario where 5.7k will give you 4k DCI RGB in the worst case scenario.
