In this video I explain the main differences between the Blackmagic Pocket 4K and 6K and I also tell you why I will never go back to micro four third sensors.

I love the 4k and MFT. All a filmmaker needs.

[crisrocchi]

In the shot at 3:08, where the skin tone is perfectly visible, I prefer the BMPCC4K more; it seems much more accurate and balanced... or am I wrong?

[jmac]

Pocket 4k for the win.
Price +
Weight +
Quality +

[isaacbedford]

Pocket 4k + Metabones Cine Speedbooster XL 0.64x has wider coverage than the 6K, has a locking EF mount, has more manageable file sizes, can shoot BRAW or ProRes in any resolution, better anamorphic mode, better slow motion, and has a faster rolling shutter.

I actually switched from Full frame back to MFT for lens reasons.

I own a P4K and a Lumix S5 and I'm selling my S5 for th GH6, just so I can have a lens set usable between both

[ndavies]

I own both and a Z Cam E2. The differences are not that crazy in my opinion. Sometimes the Z Cam actually looks better than both, other times the 6K looks great. I think it depends on your work and workflow. MFT has come decent glass as of late too.

[ozzythemighty]

You said it. the 6k is sharper as for the pocket4k is way more softer. For me the advantage goes to the pocket 4k for that reason. The over all creamy look gives this caméra an Arri look that no other caméras can imitate. If your going to be a filmmaker and have less budget go 4k. If you gonna do products, promos, commercial.. invest more money & go 6k.

[jimveybe]

I can appreciate the perspective of someone whose skill and budget have outgrown MTF, but I can equally appreciate that of someone with skill and/or funds limited to HALF of the 6k plus rigging and power budget, and thus opt for the 4k. In the end, it doesn't matter what we create on or what sites approve which cameras. It only matters that we create. Not having anywhere to crop in post does wonders for necessity, the father of invention.

Love my Pocket 4K‘s with Super16 zooms for live productions, but a 6K definitely gives that wow-factor! :))

[citytouchstudios]

I shot an a73 for 5 years I love Sony. I recently purchased my bmpcc6k and I will never look back my clients have grown my work has shown range and the color science is just industry standard.

[vanzetti]

Great video Mattel! I personally love the mft native lenses. The size just makes them so portable, I can carry a great range in my small bag, the 35-100 lumix lens for example (70-200), is smaller than a can of Coke!

[aethersuperfluid]

Pocket 6k for life!! love this awesome camera, has never let me down! Thank you Matteo for your amazing Buttery LUTs, they are definitely my go-to colors on set.

[alchemymagick]

Thanks! The large 6k file sizes are the only thing holding be back from upgrading my P4K. That and also my P4K has the Tilta screen mod which allows you to see when filming yourself. The 6k although has articulating screen, doesn’t allow you to swivel it around like that. I’m also wondering, when do you think Blackmagic will release the next Pocket cam?

[florianbarras]

I got an amazing deal on a pocket 4K with metabone speedbooster and built a Ninon AI-S set that I cine-modded based on your advices on here. I'm really happy with it. Thanks Matteo.

[PaulPaul-vjvx]

Cant help myself, but i love your 4k canon fd shots😂😂

[nonsolorasatura]

What happen if Canon discountinued the EF mount? Apparently this already happen for some primes ...
Sure they will work fine the same, for years, if taken care properly, but since inside are present electronic components, probably will last less than manuals lens, at that point, aside for a period of service, mmm.

[hunterh]

Just get the 4k. BRAW 4k much better data rate/ quality ratio. Much more versatile mount. Much more compact if needed when traveling. Both require power solution for longer shoots, and both need an external monitor for pro shoots. I wish I would have gotten the 4k first. I opted for the 6k pro first

[thegospelcallTGC]

Thank you for a great video, I love the bmpcc 4k but I am looking forward to the ursa 12k I am saving for. God bless you.

[gabydiaz]

I recently found your channel, and you are amazing. Thank you for giving me the information I need to decide and buy the 6K EF. I love the look of your R leica lenses, but can you recommend more budget-friendly lenses? I am going to start making my own independent films soon, thanks! Best wishes from TJ Mexico!

[drmatthewhorkey]

Thanks for commenting on my channel. I’m aiming to move to Lisboa next year. Nice review of the Black Magic Pocket Cinema cams… I wanna change my systems to Sony in the next year.
