BMCC6K VS BMPCC 6K PRO | Comparison between the new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K and 6K Pro

Gear used to make this video :

Here is a comparison between the new Cinema Camera 6K and the BMPCC6K Pro.
Since I’ve started to share content using the new camera one of the most popular questions I received was “How does it compare to the 6K Pro” or "Should I upgrade from the 6K Pro to the new one.”
So I thought I would make this video to hopefully help you make a decision.

In this video I focus on Theirs similarities, The differences , The pros of each of these cameras. And share my thoughts on whether or not I think it is worth the upgrade, or which one I think you should get.

I will also show you what the same focal lengths and lenses look like on both cameras.
As well as a quick Rolling Shutter comparison.

Let me know if you have any questions :).

Cheers,
Flo

Here is a comparison between the new Cinema Camera 6K and the BMPCC6K Pro.
Which one would you pick and why?

Cheers,
Flo

The biggest improvement was them dropping the work “pocket” 😂.

Mines on order, cant wait to get it. I already have the 6kPro as well, so its the both of best worlds. 6kpro for outside work with the built in NDs, and inside the 6kCC for shallower depth of field and more image without having to back up against a wall to even try and frame a shot. As a narrative filmmaker, they both fit the bill perfectly. Thanks so much for this comparison.

Hi Flo, very nice video as usual. Many thanks for your great work. I ordered my bmcc6k the same day it was announced. I will be using it alongside S5Il for FF L lenses and adapted EF. Also keeping my bmpcc4k and GH5ll for longer reach, portability and direct live streaming. The NDs on the 6k pro have a magenta shift and I returned it back. Instead using matte box or NISI circular NDs. I am using BM since the OG, I fell in love with the image. I don't mind making any camera work if it gives me a beautiful image. I was considering the 12K, but now waiting to receive my 6KFF with anticipation and I think I will be very happy with it. Take care, George

Man, excited to see the PRO version of the Cine6K FF.

Always helpful info & experience here -- thanks Flo!

Really nice video, very well made, precise, and informative, many thanks, Mick.

The OLPF is a MUST. I got a Rawlite OLPF for my URSA G2 as soon as it was available. It was a game changer.

[AllThingsFilm]

Having used the BMPCC4K, I can say that I love working with BRAW. Even though the 6K Pro has internal ND's, the Cinema 6K has the OLPF filter which reduces moire and IR pollution. Personally, as a filmmaker, I think rolling shutter has been blown out of proportion. Shots where there is a lot of horizontal whipping left to right would not end up in my edit. Even a whip pan would have RS that 99.9% of your audience wouldn't even notice. If you're only making your content for yourself, then sure, rolling shutter might bother you. But, if you're sharing your content with the outside world, most people would not likely notice rolling shutter much less care about it.

Wow ! Thank you for making and sharing this video, it's really well done and shows clearly the difference between the 2 cameras. But i agree with you it will be a tough choice to make: Personally i'm always drawn to full frame cameras for any applications mainly because FF has better resolution and less noise, but it also simplifies the lens choice and not having to convert focal length in my head before fitting a lens on the body. But When more focal length is needed then of course the smaller sensors have the upper hand. But in this particular case, not having the built-in ND and slower available frame rates just might be a show stopper for me. I'll have to really think about it, but your video will help me decide for sure.

This is an incredible review, very detailed and straight to the point, I agree it can be a tough decsion to make but I'm leaning more towards the 6k Cinema Camera, that Full Frame and image quality alone is enough to pursuade me!

[JonathanPalfrey]

Great comparison. Tempted to pick up the FF mainly for shooting 4:3 Super35mm. Having a 4K 4:3 image to work from would actually be more useful than the 6K, slightly smaller Super35 sensor of the Pro.

[mistafussi]

Thank you for this comparison. Much appreciated.

[horchata]

Thanks so much for this. SUPER thorough video.

[phanatiksent]

I love watching your videos, reviews, and filming. Great stuff. We appreciate you. I already have the 6K Pro, and I need another camera. I'm getting myself more into shorts and narratives. My dilemma is between the FF and Canon R5 C.

[BaconMoustache]

Who knew engagement would lead to you making a video that answers all my questions! 😂 Thanks Flo! Another great breakdown.

[MrGabbass]

Hi thanks for your videos!!! I have one question, how does it look compared to the 6k pro or even to the 4k what you crop the sensor for super 35 on 4k? Does it still keep a better image quality since it would use a larger sensor for the same resolution?

[tarekstatico]

Looking forward to the Pro version of this new camera. Great review and comparison footage! Really puts the full frame into perspective.

[BaconMoustache]

That image pop on the FF is really noticeable, this was incredibly informative.

I can see this being an additional camera. I currenty own a BMPCC4k and I feel the FF6k to be a great addition to the camera stash. I really could see me using the FF6k as a main and the 4k for B-roll and secondary shots. (for client work I've been doing coroporate interviews) I do love the open gate, it gives me 70mm IMAX film vibes. The field of view with a FF sensor gets me excited also. That's a big drawback for me with the Pocket4k. I use vintage Canon FD lenses and constanly wish I could have a bigger flied of view. The FF6k fits that bill really nice.
