Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K Review // Truly fantastic Images!

Finally Blackmagic released a Full Frame 6K Camera : The Cinema 6K.
But is it really what everybody was hoping for?
The imagery is great but it is lacking in some scenarios.

For the latitude test what iso did you shoot at and did you use highlight recovery. Thanks for the review.

Difference in images is not worth 10 times the price. Bottom line the 6K is amazing

[shopkuc]

The price, quality and color reproduction are all on the level, I even dreamed about this camera once

[christopherjahn]

Fantastic images. Thanks for this review and the 7 film is awesome

Nice review...for me personally having some S5 org and P6K org I would tend to buy S5iiX and pair it with a video assist 12 G to get Braw.
For sure for format option with the new Blackmagic.
Kind of hoping that Pana will pull out a new top tear camera.
Anyway happy new year

Hey Paule, a small sidekick if you don't mind. If you export or deliver video, do you always use the 2.4 gamma? I use mac osx and like others have the challenge of having footage look good on all media. (thank you apple)

I slightly preferred the colors of the Komodo; the reds were a little richer, and the blacks were a touch more neutral. But we're talking maybe a 5%-10% difference in IQ, for a camera that's 4x as expensive. The Blackmagic cameras have always been an insane value for your money.

If Camera 12:1 open gate can we shoot then Normal 3060ti Graphic card system can handle the Footage ?

Not sure you did the latitude test correctly. What ISO did you use for overexposure? How did you grade it? Color management or lut? Highlight recovery? tons of questions since I get the most latitude out of this camera than any other camera I've tested
Edit** I read some of your comments and see that you used ISO 400. I would redo the test using ISO 800 for the overexposure. Remember, there's no such thing as native ISO when shooting raw plus you get better highlight sensitivity with higher ISO values. Not sure how you graded it but highlight recovery would absolutely do wonders, which would entail capturing at 800, lowering in post to 100 and clicking highlight recovery (this is what BMD suggests and it works very well)

Would have 100% picked one up, but lack of internal ND is a no no for me

[junaidcg]

I am finding some chromatic abbreviation in komodo and bit soft, it may be a lens issue than camera itself.

[RafalGendarz]

Great video 🎉How would you compare the 6kff to Sony fx3 or a7iv image quality wise?

[zvlmukh]

PAULE! I just got the canon focal reducer for my Komodo bec of you!

[markjob]

*@**4:44**: What you're really demonstrating is not a difference between cameras, or sensors, rather, a difference between BRAW and RedCodeRaw codecs. The BRAW is a 12 Bit colour precision, while the Komodo is shooting with a 16 Bit RAW codec with a much greater colour depth and image precision, which the human eye can plainly see.*

My machine experiences severe green bands and horizontal streaks in low light, how can I fix them

[salesman]

Why this camera doesn’t have ND anymore

[stephanes.]

The images look fantastic! I’m not even a fan or whatsoever…

[antone]

I’m amazed BMD don’t have the vision to create what people want…..how out of touch with their customers can they be?!
