High ISO, Sharpness & Autofocus - Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K - Q&A Part 1

Since shooting our initial review on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K you've asked a lot of questions about the camera. In this video, we go through some of the questions you have asked. This is part one, we will be making more videos on the BMPCC 4K. If you have a question that hasn't been answered, put what you want to see in the next video in the comments below and we'll do our best to answer as many as possible.

This video was filmed using:

performance with metabones speed booster with different focal length and lenses.

Are you sure you have enough ProAV TV stickers on the camera? :D

[RobertHalvarsson]

Seriousness in combination with great presentation.

[ANigerianPrince]

You just poured a bucket of satisfaction onto the many people obsessed with the P4K

[Racosz]

This is the best Q&A review on YouTube ever. Complete, serious, perfectly done. Congrats for this channel.

Your three-part series on the BMD Pocket 4K should be the first thing anyone watches! Very good preliminary work that should satisfy owner-operators. Certainly, there will be people who are more interested in being video engineers than creators, who will want more. But I'd send everyone looking to purchase this system, or use it on a project, to you first. Hope you'll follow-up when BMD RAW is added. Thanks!

What i would really like to know is how the camera can handle consistently in actual shooting atmosphere.
Is this camera truly robust to shoot a low budget indie feature or Gh5 is the way to go?
Is it apt to shell our hard earned money on this for filmmaking or do you suggest something else?

Compare with the usability and image quality of C200, C300, Fs5Mkii, FS7, A73, Gh5 and maybe a red epic. It's not about weather this camera is better or not, it's just to know how the colors look.

Also the practical advantages of windowed 120 fps, what lenses are better if we shoot something like skateboarding/motorcycling etc, . Where 120fps is much more useful.

thank you for your attention to details and professionalism in these videos. Everything is clear and even the info tab is well written and laid out. The team behind these videos deserve a pat on a back and an A+ score.

Just a heads up to other viewers.... watching the footage on a computer changes absolutely every opinion I had. Thanks for the great content guys.

[ProjectOverseer]

My original opinion is changing fast. I'm liking this camera more. To be fair, I also got a few things wrong in the spec department. It's a much better camera than I originally thought 👍
Many thanks for the overview.

Thank you for taking the time and answering all these questions, it was veri informative.
I would really like to see the mini xlr in the work, a sound test to see the quality of the preamp in the camera might be interesting

[OzReel]

Finally someone testing moire and aliasing. Thank You!

[UpgradeRomania]

Now this is a professional and in depth review and testing video. Great job sir!

[TimGvr]

Good to see my question about IR answered! Cheers!

[paulschneider]

Played with the camera at Cinegear specifically looking for rolling shutter. Was happy to see there was apparently very little, but would enjoy seeing a more detailed test of it.

[BigPileOfWesley]

Thanks for answering the autofocus question! It must come with some sort of focus peaking function so that you can keep a moving object in focus, I assume? Thanks again for the good video on this. If you have a DJI Ronin S, I'd also be very interested to see if you can use the follow focus wheel with the BMPCC4K. But no worries. Thanks!

[MoeNegm]

I'm sick of it, sick watching your videos as a visitor. So I fixed that, subscribed :)

Great content mate!

[IvanSchoeman]

Thanks Guys this was really helpful! Really good job at answering the right questions. I cant wait to get me one!

[owlmuso]

Really good review. Like really good. Unlike other reviews where I come away feeling like I just got a generic understanding of the camera, you actually know your technical stuff and can explain the technical issues related to camera in a meaningful way. So not only do I get to know the camera better, but I learn something about the art of video. thank you. Definitely subbed.

Btw, starting to like this camera

If you can, compare it to the Fujifilm X-T3. I know they are quite different, especially when it comes to codecs, but the video features on the Fuji are awesome so it would be very interesting to see how it holds up.
