I would disagree. I don't care how good your story is, and I probably wouldn't even give your film a chance to find out how good the story is, if it's shaky and looks like it was filmed on a children's toy camcorder. Bad image can bring someone right out of the story just as much as bad audio can, and I personally wouldn't even bother to make a film if it wasn't going to look as beautiful as something that would come out of Hollywood.

It's actually explainable. The BMPCC pixels are much, much larger than the BMPCC4K camera. This gives you this cinematic feeling you feel. I also never ever want to sell my BMPCC, it's truly a unique camera. And just getting more and more unique due to camera companies focusing on large megapixel counts and therefore smaller pixels.

amazing choice !!! I made it already!. Since now, I bought and sold 3 original bmpcc already (along 7 years). But this time I keep it, forever !!!

It is so good to watch a video with this kind of message on it. Love when you said that not everything it's about resolution and frame rate. The new models are totally in consonance with our time and also the market but In the end, just the poetry will be a relevant reason these days to have one.

I prefer it. And you're right, even though it's only 1080p digital sensor, matched with a nice bit of glass it just brings back an old school visual quality that's a real love it or hate it look. I'm one of the many who love it. Got mine at auction online for $650 Australian, or about $500 US, with two batteries and a battery plate. Absolute steal for what it is capable of.

Thanks for watching !! I used the screw at the bottom of the plate directly on the cage :)

Love that camera even if I haven’t shot with it for a long time. When switching to that camera on a conference stream other video guys I collaborate with asked what camera it was because it looks so much better than stuff usually used on conferences.

About 4 months ago, happy with my BMPCC4K, I just pulled out my Micro (same sensor as original BMPCC) and shot with it, just for old times’ sake. I brought the footage in, looked at it, and instantly put my BMPCC4K in the closet. The colors. I cannot believe the colors. I can’t fight it. It’s magic, and there is no substitute for magic.

Such a cute little camera!

I purchased an OG BMPCC at the end of last year; I'm just starting out, and wanted something with a really good image. Regarding all the negatives that are said about it, I don't really care, other than the monitor. The monitor is terrible, and when I have the budget, I will be purchasing an external monitor. However, I think it's great to learn on. Being that it's fully manual, there is nothing to help you get good footage (ok, there is auto-focus, however I'm using vintage Nikon mount lenses with a 'dumb' adapter, so for me auto-focus is not an option). It forces you to really learn how to use the camera correctly. It also forces you to learn color grading. But, that image!!!

I sold mine a few months back. I liked how it was actually pocket size with a great picture. I disliked having to find the right media, battery, having to be super careful with the inputs for fear it would break. All those little things add up. I wish they would have created the BMPCC4K in the same body with better/upgraded parts, make it able to take multiple types of media and a better battery solution. I get the why I loved it in the first place though. The 4k isn't the same. It seemed like the pixels on it were unique. May have been just me...

Totally agree, I love the look of the og bmpcc but would pick my bmpcc6k any day for work. Much easier to shoot with and a lot less frustrating for sure.

I still have mine from 2015, it sadly stopped communicating to lenses last year so I use it with vintage Manuel lenses and it’s great for timelapses

Quick question. I saw there was some more slowmo type shots Doesn’t the pocket only so 30fps? Did you just slowdown using some interpolation?

Inspiring thank you

I was definitely looking into this a few months ago. I was referring a camera to someone and was going to send them to this camera because of its image and price.

Najada Davis Yeah it’s definitely hard to beat for the price when it comes to image and codecs.

I waited so impatiently for the 4K but once I saw its harsher highlight roll off, I cancelled my order and stuck to my original Pocket. Plus, it takes C-mount 16mm lenses that have a lot of character! Enjoy your “new” Pocket!

Thanks for the video. Even the footage in this video what is shot with original BMPCC looks quite like film. I wonder what setting it was shot with? Was it Raw, or preres or something else? I also wonder, does BMPCC 4k, gives same look of original BMPCC? I don't think it does.

Thanks for watching !! It was shot in Prores 422. And not really, the bmpcc4k has a different look. Less grainy and flat but more consistent and with more room to play in post.

@@OfTwoLands I wonder if we shoot video in 1080p on BMPCC 4k or BMPCC 6k, the outcome is not the same organic analogue look of what original BMPCC delivers? I somehow love original bmpcc look so much (and infact thanks for this video) that if same organic analogue look is available in bmpcc 6k, I would rather buy bmpcc 6k b/c it can take pictures as well.

Love it man. I still shoot on it as my A cam

I never really used mine. But it's still around. Recording cDNG gives you gen1 or gen4 color in Resolve. Which gives you either the "filmic" quality or gives you something more useable video like. Hope I get a chance to use it one day.

Looks like a great gimbal cam, the 4k is so awkward on my weebil s, the 4k doesn't even work on my gimbal most of the times, just vibrating because of the weight and balance issues

I totally understand - I recently bought a Nikormat 35mm film camera, some F lenses and some 35mm film - it was the first "real" camera I ever owned and I totally wanted to get back to shooting with it again.

I'm happy to see that there's still a market for this camera as I'm looking to sell my barely used one that has spent all it's life inside a full cage :) Definitely produces some very beautiful images in the right hands (skilled photographer+skilled colorist (that's not me) :D I'll spend the money on an X-T3 or X-T4 instead

I Just update the latest software of BMPCC OG, but after updated, I can't see the quick manual as in the original software, thats mean I can't find format the card option, do you encounter the same problem? how to restore it ? thanks

most importantly I don't have the meter to help with manual focus, in previous version I have the green inter to help with manual focus,,

I knew the same thing was gonna happen to me if I were to sell bmpcc original to get bmpcc 4k, so I kept it. So glad I did:)
