Great review guys!! And thanks for including my footage with credits :)

The lack of option to select your desqueeze is disappointing, but hopefully something BMD will fix via firmware. And adding the option to desqueeze vertically would also be great. Turning the camera sideways to record 5:6 with a 2x anamorphic would result in a 1.66 aspect ratio, which would a really cool look when paired with a Proteus or Pavo

Fantastic that rolling shutter correction thing, never had heard of. Regarding the lens selection, glad to know about Nisi and SP3. I would mentioned Irix Cine Lenses too, a bunch of focal distances in L-mount for a good price

[oleberek]

Grear review, thank you! I like that Blackmagic has chosen to implement the tiny screw hole in their l-mount. This can be used in combination with the SIGMA MC-31 PL mount adapter. You will get a tiny screw with it, which you can use to screw in the adapter into the mount, making the camera basically a native PL mount without any wiggle.

Why didn't you guy's at CVP test the low light camera movement to see if the dreaded fixed pattern noise is still an issue in this camera.

[PiercingSight]

That gyro rolling shutter correction advice is a GAME CHANGER!

[BushmanMedia]

Test the 4k micro G2. There are many of us interested in that camera. ❤

If only this sensor was in an URSA body... (I mean, the old URSA Mini body, with the 5 inch screen and less ENG buttons).

[renaissancedigital]

Wait, so for the second native ISO you tested them at -6 under?

[北小北-on]

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

[neurojitsu]

Great insights as always, this has helped me rule the camera out for my purposes as I'd only really consider it for my needs if the low light performance were superior to the 6k Pro. One thing confuses me though, which is that I had always thought that a 6k full frame sensor with larger photocells would always have better low light performance than a 6k S35 sensor. Why is this not the case versus the 6k Pro? I ask because I'm currently deciding between the 6k Pro and some other full frame sensor cameras, and my use case includes using s35 lenses alongside full frame lenses, and so I don't want to compromise on low light performance when using a full frame sensor cropped in... but is that over-simplifying things? I plan to test the cameras on my shortlist, but I'm confused by the principles in operation here... any help appreciated!

[verebellus]

Can u do a comparison between the s5iix and this?

[miguelgonzal]

Did you think that maybe Blackmagic is reserving the “box style camera” for maybe a new ursa mini FF?

[RicoStein_]

I just enjoy watching your content! It's always on point and precise, BUT – I would love to see more in depth criticism. For most of the reviews I feel like you leave big downsides behind, trying to keep it soft with the brand instead of taking the risk and really talk about the downsides. There are many downsides to talk about which would not only be more interesting to hear from you, but which could also attract the brands to listen more to the customers needs, if well respected Channels like yours talk about it more. <3

[timekeepermedia]

what is with camera companies not offering custom desqueeze no matter what mode you're shooting It's such a simple thing and has NO reason to be handicapped -_-

[mauraece]

Unfortunately Blackmagic decided to use “L mount”, I’ve already switched to Canon RF so there won’t be any Blackmagic for me 🤷🏽

[bathboysadventuretime]

Would you know if the NISI are compatible with the Meike filters? Due to the protruding rear element

[fossmountainfilm]

I just bought the Black Magic 6K Full Frame body and did some night test shots at various ISO levels. Unfortunately, after doing many thorough tests and making sure I was not doing anything wrong, I have horizontal banding issues. Such a big disappointment. Unfortunately the horizontal banding issue is more common than I thought. The horizontal banding issue is highly noticeable from about ISO 200 to ISO 2500. Above roughly ISO 2500 the banding disappears a fair amount but, as one would expect, the image is quite noisy and unusable. I have been shooting various cameras over 25 plus years and never seen such a problem. I was shooting 24p 180 degree shutter with 50 hz anti flicker (Japan 100v 50hz electric) and doing everything I could to stop the horizontal banding and nothing worked. Contacted BM Tech support and they viewed my footage on my YT channel and they agree “ We confirm that the excessive banding is occurring in the video.” They want me to send them the BRAW file so they can do further inspection. Been a rough week with my camera but BM Tech support are helping as best they can to fix the problem.

It looks great but it just costs way too much, considering the S5iiX exists and has slightly better dynamic range, better autofocus, better form factor, and external RAW. You also have a budget to pickup the Blackmagic external RAW recorder too so this is a very tough sell. Definitely a big slip up from Blackmagic

[Animayta]

Saw the rolling shutter elimination video a few days ago and was blown away, definitely would be a big help for this camera!
