Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K: The Good and the Bad

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

Hey man. Thanks and appreciate you checking out the stream. Just a quick correction the aspect ratio of the sensor is 3:2 not 4:3. I do agree I wish they did an SD card just as a safety. Also there are L mount options where you can put drop in ND filters like the R5

Thanks for the correction! I appreciate your videos. I would definitely get and adapter with drop in filter. Thank you!

The loss of pro-res is a shame. ProRes allowed lower resolutions without sensor cropping. For a camera that can only do 1080p 120fps, the addition of proress to avoid sensor cropping would had been absolutely crucial

Watched James' livestream too to supplement the Blackmagic presentation. I'd still spend more & go with the R5C myself.

image and dynamic range are not the same!

[@Stondiexd]

When will these start shipping?

[@FernandoQuevedo]

Agreed on all points. Good video.

I will wait for the box with Nd filters

[@bmefilms6879]

if you get dust or debris behind the nd filters, youre screwed. Blackmagic will charge for a new sensor and filter replacement!

@@bmefilms6879 I currently have 1 lens. Easy solutions to never get anything on the chip is to either have 1 lens or just don't swap lenses in a dust storm

[@SuperSuperka]

smth really wrong with your light setup. Looks like you tried to light your tongue at first place

What is happening with SrewTube? It's been a long while since I received a notification from Magnus. It has to be some suppressing CyOp by this wretched platform. Hmmm... In any event, it is good to see Magnus again. Thank you for your perspective.

Thanks for the comment! It's my fault regarding the videos. Been working on so many projects that keep me busy. Editing KZbin videos eat a lot of time. 😔

Autofocus isn't used in a professional environment. This camera isn't for KZbinrs. It's great to have but, it's not a deal breaker.

[@magnus547]

There are many different kinds of professional environments, and it's naive to think that it's not used. The Sony and Canon's cinema line do have autofocus. Arri and Red don't offer autofocus. It's really up to the manufacturer, but there are different types of professional shoot scenarios. If I'm shooting a film where every scene is meticulous, maybe I don't need autofocus. But if I'm filming a music video and my camera is on a gimbal, autofocus can be a life saver. Both those scenarios are professional environments. Please know that it's not only for youtubers or filming yourself.
