can one say, once you go blackmagic, you never go back?

Everybody laughed at L-mount but now it has Panasonic, Leica, Sigma, Blackmagic, DJI as members...looking kinda hot for L-mount in the coming years. All make interesting and unique cameras I their own market segments.

Waving around that exposed sensor gave me the heebies

[camerachris]

Weird that you call it out for not having ND's because it's a "cinema" camera, but then say you're shooting on the FX30, which is also classified as a "cinema" camera.

3:13 I love those lumix S-lenses. The 18 up to 100mm primes are all the same size and almost the same weight as well. So great for gimbal/steadicam work and for when you have a mattebox in front of your camera.

I still own a GH4, it’s awesome to see how far consumer cine cams have come

[zechenwei]

I actually like the shape of the BM cameras, too. They are pretty comfortable to hold in my hands——especially as it is such a large camera(which I’m willing to accept for that beautiful 5” screen) :P

If I were to get a cinema camera, I would get the Canon C300 Mk3. I know it’s around $6k used but has the closest to an Arri look, 16 + stops of dynamic range and your favorite built in ND filters. Plus built in image stabilization and autofocus. I gotta get that camera.

I'm 99% sure it isn't a firmware thing with prores. It's like a thing where certain sensor variants will only do certain codecs.

[KofiYeboah]

with a few more people jumping into the new 6K full frame, are BLACK MAGICIANS?!
I mean, Dark Magicians

[filmbyakiljoefield]

Honestly I am willing to overlook everything else but the abscense of internal ProRes, I have no experience with Blackmagic Raw but years of experience with ProRes workflows that's a bummer for me!

[sitebstudios]

Glad you picked up this cinema beast! Love Blackmagic!

[AlienGrade]

That memory storage Card being wet inside the Blackmagic is the biggest red flag I ever seen in a Camera period. No wonder they are all over facebook marketplace.

Great overview of the BMCC6K. Regarding box shaped cameras, they do appear to be more professional and yes they are easier to rig in many ways. But, for a low budget, indie filmmaker like myself, having a DSLR shaped camera makes run and gun shooting easier. Once you step outside with a box shaped camera, you immediately draw attention to yourself. Until I can afford to shoot with permits and have access to studios, I'm better off shooting with DSLR shaped cameras. That being said, if BM comes out with a well priced box camera I will definitely consider it. But, I will most likely have a 2nd camera that I can shoot without drawing attention.

After reading comments… IMO, every camera is a tool. Use it as intended. Don’t buy sneakers to wear to go mountaineering, you’ll hurt yourself. I work for a production house in Australia and we use both BMs and Arris, which we own in-house… among other brands, for our client projects. Each project’s requirements dictate which camera we use. I don’t know why people bad mouth one brand over another. Go buy the appropriate camera according to your shooting style and needs.

@7:50 you forgot to remove your a-roll behind the footage — just a head's up my dude

[VideoVo-Tech]

I wouldn't get the battery grip it seems flimsy and makes it hard to set the camera down. With my 6k pro, I either use it totally bare bones or fully built out with rods, monitor, battery, etc and it definitely excells in the later. Not really a great camera for the in between style shooting. Still my favorite camera of all time though. Great video!

[lmackreath]

Great stuff.. blackmagic on its way and I have the 35mm lumix so good to hear it’s so good!.. however for run and gun do you think I need a stabilised lens instead?

[KnapfordMaster]

What did you use to add film grain to the test footage? Looks really really nice.

[BrandonSoum]

Wow... The image quality and price to features ratio is really something else. I am currently in the process of swapping systems and was wondering, how do you feel this would perform in conference/corporate work vs Sony FX30/FX3?
I admit I kinda do rely on auto-focus but my goodness Blackmagic really has been having me look over, even with their previous Super 35 6K Pro.
