i want a camera to use for shooting documentries and music videos ,my budget is between 2000 till 6000 , what do you advice me?

One of the best reviews I have seen on both of these cameras and its great to see Black Magic shaking things up in the industry!They can no longer be dismissed like they were in the past!

Thanks for this video Tom. I am waiting to have my BMPCC 6K delivered. You have answered all the questions I had with the SmallRig cage and the Samsung T5 SSD. I will have a look at he Angelbird SSD's now. As always you are on the top of my subscribed list. I appreciate all the work you put into your KZread videos.

Aaand here's the man I'd listen to when it comes to gear. Thank you for the knowledgeable, non-biased and easy to understand review as always, Tom! I'm definitely happy with my newly arrived p4k and considering I'll most likely downscale to 1080p for the project I bought this for, it'll serve me very well. If I had to deliver 4k footage then I'd love the 6k as I can downscale for a sharper look but even so, a bit of sharpening in Resolve should do the trick with my current gear.

Great as always. Very detailed and informative video. Thank you. Hopefully you can make another video about the crop factor on the 6K because from what I've read, it has a crazy Crop factor when you shoot in 2.7K 120fps. Really want to see how you think and deal with it in real world shooting.

Thanks for the review, fair as slways. I own the P4k and still have no real need for the P6k yet but I will for sure get one with in time. I love the Idea of having super 35mm on the Pocket to have bit better match to my UMP and have native EF mount, those things means the moast for me to have the pocket 6k, shooting in 6k is just a plus for me and I can of course see some use for it, even in 4k projects. I am usung pocket 4k on my drone in 4k raw but it would be nice being able to shoot 6k raw on the drone so the p6k will come in handy. Again thanks for your reviews, plain facts fair and honest reviews are always welcome.

I am relatively new to cinematic cameras and I was going for the BMPCC 4k with speedbooster as I take tiny steps into film making. But as a seasoned Canon (photography) user the mount on the 6K is big deal for me. The money saved on the speedbooster or new mft lens will be spend on 6k and I get to use my canon lenses. I will appreciate if you have any thoughts about my plan.

Fantastic Review - how did you get the sigma 18-35 art at 1.7 on the 6k? I understand how you would hit that with the metabones on the 4k but wouldn’t your fstop be limited to 1.8 on the 6k?

Excellent!!

I have the pocket 4k and I use it with Rokinon Cine DS lenses with EF mount with a Metabones T Cine speed booster XL 0.64x. This configuration makes it better for low light conditions because the speed booster gives an 1 1/3 stop extra. That means when I set the ISO to 3200 is like I'm exposing to 8000 ISO. I like that. I love the benefit of the speed booster that makes it better in low light conditions. I think you never considered that when you talked about it, because when you use the speed booster you have to compensate the exposure for the extra 1 1/3 stop that makes the lens even faster.

The lower third in the beginning was awesome! What did you render it in?

Great video. What camera are you using to record this video review?

appreciate this informative video.. I was considering the p4k , but then this camera was announced , at first I was excited but after weighing all the pros and cons I think I will stick with the p4k if anything .. or maybe revert to my original plan and get the gh5s to pair with my gh5... decisions decisions .. never easy

@Deedzproductionz

4 жыл бұрын

im in the same situation. either get a p4k or gh5.....im leaning towards the p4k because its cheaper and has alot for the price, the gh5 is also a dope camera

I far prefer the almost full frame equivalent when using the xl speedbooster. Plus the option to use a whole host of other lenses including m43 lenses.

Good review

What camera are you using in this for your on camera parts? Looks great!

This is great. My only question would be 120fps vs 120fps on the 6k and 4K Are they similar? Or 6k having less moire and jaggies?

I must say that am impress with your review. please can your recommend a good post production system that can edit 6k footage?.

Hello Tom. Great review as always. Thanks a lot for this works. I have the BMPCC 4K and when I film (or shot? Sorry for my english) in RAW 2K it creates an adicional crop factor because filming in 2K only use half sensor. My cuestion is: If you use the BMPCC 6K but film in RAW 4K, do you get and adicional crop factor or use the whole super 35 sensor en RAW 4K too?

The problem with RAW is that it's raw sensor data, so that means that 4K raw from the Pocket 6K sensor would mean it would be windowed so it would be the same as the Pocket 4K image area.

Do you think this would be a good all around lens for documentary interviews ?

Hi, Tom great review! I noticed that you don't get any vignetting with the sigma 18-35 at 18mm with the speedbooster. I do get vignetting on the mine but I have a Commlite focal reducer which works great besides this annoying vignetting! My question is, you never get vignetting with the speedbooster? not even when you shoot 4k dci? thanks for your time!

@TomAntos

4 жыл бұрын

There is slight vignetting with the speedbooster if you look closely but not as noticable as with the Commlite adapter. That's why I dont use my Commline. It's the same in 4K DCI, metabones has a slight vignetting but still works for me.

I just have only canon lenses and I loved the BMPCC4k but it’s almost the same price as the BMPCC6k (including the speedbooster). Also I love the S35 style, it gives the image something and idk I just am used to it and I really prefer it, instead of full frame. It’s the perfect camera for me but idk if it is for everyone.

Thanks, Tom.

Great review Tom.Like camera specs it has really good features for that price.Easy to use and operate.This is a good step up for blackmagic.And good step for the industry. Nobody was able to touch good uncompressed RAW footage in the past for less then 30000 usd$. But if you want to have accurate colors this is not the right choice.If you look carefully in the image you will notice that there is a brownish tint. Like sepia filter applied over the picture. Check the greenery in these footages. It doesn't look correct. This is the biggest disadvantage of all blackmagic cameras together with the fixed noise pattern in the dark areas. For green screen keying is it ideal solution.Low noise in the green channel.Good overexposed and underexposed compensation range.The quality is much better when you overexpose then underexpose the picture. It is perfect for small production with low budgets looking for professional quality. If they fix the color space to make it look very close to the reality the other big camera makers are in real trouble. :))) For sure good camera to have it.
