I love finding these newer channels, they are fun and refreshing and they don't have that attitude of "you will watch me regardless of what I make" and just rehashing the same content over and over. thanks for this.

I’m sorry but the images coming out of the black magic Ursa is absolutely gorgeous. Super 35 is the film standard and had been for decades. I’m personally not buying a cinema camera for auto focus.

I'm using the Panasonic S1, and switching over to the S5II X camera next. It's missing the internal ND, but it's better suited for my run and gun style of work. The image is quite fantastic to work with, especially with Prores HQ support. Between FX6 and BM cameras, I would rent the Ursa 12K for fiction projects, because I don't need autofocus in those scenarios, love the 12K BRAW codec, and I really like the Super 35 sensor format for filmmaking

When I'm doing creative projects such as short films, music videos, & fashion vids I utilize my Ursa 12k.

When I'm doing corporate work I usually rent out, Fx6's.

I feel the same way about Sony and Blackmagic. I can't afford the URSA 4.6 G2 or the FX6, but I can afford the A7S3 and the Pocket 4K, and they both work well in the two use cases you outlined. Because a lot of what you pointed out about those cameras, are things that both manufacturers try to incorporate in all their products. That said, there is one area where I think BM wins hands down, firmware updates.

I've been using Blackmagic products since the ATEM television studio and have had a rocky past with them. On the digital cinema camera side of things, nothing but positives. I've owned the Ursa Mini 4.6K, PCC4K and the PCC6K pro and they all performed great. I was apprehensive at first to suggest them for purchase based on my experience with the company on the broadcast end. The early ATEM line was finicky to say the least and their convertors were notoriously hit or miss. Don't even get me started on the failure that was the Intensity Shuttle USB. It's odd seeing the company lean so hard into broadcast with their past being what it is, but I suppose so much has changed in the industry over the past 10 years that budget dictates all. This lean also saddens me in the aspect that I fear the company will devote more time to developing that side of the business, allowing their digital cinema camera family to fall to the wayside. The URSA is now being transitioned into a broadcast camera and the PCC line is just repackaging the same camera with slightly different features. It's odd to think the next camera I purchase might not be a Blackmagic, but I thought the same thing back when I was shooting on a Sony, Panasonic and Canon respectively.

Hello maybe you know where to find volume knob missed on bmcc? 😅 seems in preview picture your missed them all 😂

[ChroniclesofGhoul]

Would love to see how the dji LiDAR pro system would work on the Ursa.

[alexisagcopra]

Got me rolling on “5 stars” but the actual count is 4 hehe kudos!

[uwemuller]

sorry I just saw your comments to your video. I see it is a Canon 70-200 f2.8. What adapter to you use?

Hello! Thanks for the video. Do you possibly know the latency on the SDI output for FX6 and G2? Could FX6 for example be used for IMAG in live concert. How much latency is to much for IMAG? Thank you!

[oprator]

Good job! You deserve more subs. Great video

[Tazky_Mateo]

IT depends. Do you want camera with better image or camera with more versability, smaller batteries, autofocus And good lowlight?

[tbip]

I just wished sony could make a cinema camera that doesnt look like it came out of 1992 😂

[sertocd]

URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 does not have Auto ND. Conversation is over.

[eliovisita]

Fx6 is not quite there regards image quality, I want to love the fx6 but the quality is not at same level as the ursa

[memphismadetez]

Fx6 is downscale 6k and I think that's better 4k

I’ll never understand how people can prefer sony cams over the black magic ecosystem. Braw and the cohesiveness with resolve has made me never want to shoot on anything ever again. Not to mention the god awful cumbersome Sony menu system. Good autofocus isn’t even close to making it worth it for me. But to each their own.
