Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame VS Sony ZVE1 BLIND TEST!

Black Magic Cinema Camera 6K full frame facing my favourite little Sony ZVE1 (same sensor as a7siii and FX3 and FX6) in a BLIND TEST! Well a short version anyway - a lot more to come soon!
So far though can tell its incredibly close. BMCC6K has better skin tones and is a tad sharper but ZVE1 has cleaner shadows.
I am REALLY impressed how the Sony's 10 bit is holding up... its crazy.
But Blackmagic is much nicer to shoot with that screen is FANTASTIC!
Shot using identical lenses before you fanboys start freaking out haha

    Damn, that's a tough choice between the best imagine quality out of the box (BM), or overall usability and convenience (Sony). Different cameras for different uses I'd say. But hard to argue with how versitile Sony line is with autofocus, ibis, photo capabilities, size, weight, battery life and pretty much everything except for the BRAW. And just in case, I was a BM fanboy, so even I'm surprised that I'm now gonna pick Sony over BM, but hey, whatever works best and can payoff itself faster...😅

    100%! Actually out of camera BMCC6K only looks good at the very lowest ISO if you go past 640 you need NR and I personally would like that to be handled in camera than do NR to most shots in post.

    I've been hesitating between these two cameras. Considering the price, dynamic range, low light performance, rolling shutter speed, and convenience. I feel like I made the right choice with the ZV-E1. The subtle difference in skin tone is really easy to match. I appreciate your comparison video!!

    Not exactly I can match them near identical in few seconds this is just a CST conversion and not all manufacturers do it the same way. Sony is a bit more on a conservative side. But yes also need to remember we are comparing RAW to 10bit so its really impressive that 10bin can be even compared considering the size between the two is about 10times different.

    If it wasn't cause of the compression algorithm of sony camera I would say the image is pretty close, but man ... the open gate, low pass filter, full frame sensor, 12 Bit Braw and Pro L mount has made this camera the one I been waiting for from BMD.

    I thought B was Blackmagic. For music videos b is better and i liked it more. Isn't the highlight rolloff better on that one? We change the colors on post production anyways. Sony, contunies and better autofocus, smaller files, lighter, frame tracking, lens breathing, and probably better low light performance. Btw last scene can't be considered there is definitely something wrong there, it cant be that much of a color difference. The only good thing 6k has its big screen and menus.

    ​​@@CINENIMUSlook, I just have a Sony a6100 - with which I always struggle with skin tones and white balance. Perhaps I'm a bit sensitive to it. Seeing these two cameras, both of which are clearly better than mine, I expected them to be very close but the much more blueish tones of the Sony camera jump out to me even on my phone screen. Could be just a different calibration of their white balance scale?

    Very good job on the color grading, congratulations. You've managed to get the color of the Sony very close to the Blackmagic. Personally, I much prefer the Blackmagic, but it really makes you think about what cameras and new technologies Sony will come up with. They already have global shutter (a9iii), the best autofocus, and are the best in low light. From Blackmagic, I like the look and colors of BRAW (12bit), which are closer to ARRI and RED than Sony. Can you imagine a full-frame FX3 with BRAW 8k 60fps, or 6k 120fps? Is that too much to ask??
