  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K

Not surprising, given the competition hitting the market. I think it will be a hit with the diehard BMPCC enthusiasts, but I wouldn't place any bets on it going big beyond that.
 
I'm not convinced it looks better than the 4K model from the sample images online, but it's really hard to tell. I was hoping they would use the Sony FF sensor that's found in the A7III and Mavo LF, but it's still a nice camera, and the prices is the usual competitive prices I would have loved to see built in ND.
 
If someone develops a focal reducer that fits in the throat of the EF Mount or they release an RF version, it’d be deadly... 6K “full frame/LF” at 50fps for $2500? Yes please!

I wouldn't be suprised if the FF 6K version of this camera is already in the works given the Z-Cam e2 4K m4/3, 6K S35, and 6K/8K FF cameras that are coming out. Blackmagic looks to use similar sensor tech, but except for resolution, there doesn't seem to be any dynamic range improvement over the 4K micro 4/3 Pocket 4K, so I don't know if I'd buy this one at double the price.

How does that effect color?

Probably more than it should. Blackmagic is notorious for fixing hardware issues with software fixes. Remember the uneven magenta corners of the original Ursa Mini 4.6K? Software fix. The IR pollution that exists due to a not strong enough IR filter even when not using ND? Reduced with the Gen 4 color science. Moire/Aliasing have also been significantly reduced with the Blackmagic Raw updates.
 
I'm really starting to wonder if I should still hang on to my RED Epic MX at this point. Yes, I still have one of those, because not all of us can afford the new stuff ;)
 
Cmon guys this camera looks super cool! What a great little cam to take along for lots of things
 
Super cool and always great to have more options but I have to wonder about actual delivery of cameras. Seems like the BMPCC 4K is never available. This is one area of their company that has been a bit frustrating. Would love to see them improve delivery of cameras.

Grant Petty specifically covered this in his presentation. He said that their parts suppliers have run into slowdowns that affect their camera deliveries, and it's out of their hands.

And I don't think they forecast just how popular the P4K would be. I think they just can't keep up with demand as I'm sure lot of those parts have a long lead time for ordering.

This is misleading.

This is misleading and nonsense.

I Think they are referring to dual iso architecture where it really changes the sensor sensitivity

I’m awaiting a power solution for those pocket cameras. I would love to see a ronin s power grip plate with two 12v hirose output and 2 rosettes to attach the grip left or right side.

What you think and what they are referring to does not remove the misleading nonsense of the formulation.

It's a dual gain architecture, presented through ISO reference. Gain affects what can be captured. Analog (real one) only. The rest is digital induced fantasia of post-production time travel, increasing sales figures while decreasing touch with reality.
