BLACKMAGIC PYXIS 6K - Real World Experience | Is this camera for everyone?

[@cam16filmproductions33]

Hmm, everyone has a personal opinion. I think you can use this camera for a run and gun shooting, if for example you own just the Pyxis. Have shot with Sony Burano, Fx6 Fx3 Red Komodo’s. It boils down to your workflow and what you really see as Run and Gun type shooting. Great Review tho. Cheers

Thanks man! I agree

[@adanchagolla8685]

What camera do you recomend for short ads for fb and ig bro? Tajnks for the content

[@stumpflukas]

Thank you! For IG content and such stuff I would go on a hybrid cam like R5, A7 IV etc.

How often do you need to change settings in the middle of a scene? Why would you change the ISO in the middle of a shot? Can't You just hit record then lock the buttons until it is time to cut the take?

[@stumpflukas]

Thanks for your comment. Of course, changing ISO during a scene hardly ever happens. But I use the custom buttons like F1 F2 F3 regularly. It would make sense if it only locked the screen and not the buttons below it. Even when I'm not recording, these have no function, which makes little sense to me. The colleague in the example mentioned above used his thumb on the display, where you can also stop/start recording, and that's where it makes sense. But locking the buttons makes little sense to me :)

@@stumpflukas if the buttons on the side are locked is the screen also locked?

I… I feel like you’re going to sell the Pyxis in about a year or less. Seems like you really like it but your use cases are more catered to by your Sony cameras.

[@stumpflukas]

As I said in the video, this camera is not a “daily driver” for me. I use it for specific purposes and it works really well there. Would I use it for IG content or an event where it's super dark and everything has to work quickly? No, definitely not. But for all projects that are well prepared and you have a bit more time, it's a great tool.

Did you try to use 1250 iso, it’s a second tier ISO and way cleaner than 1000 iso from first tier (and the highest, so noisier than 1250). This camera perform the best when you have more light than you need for exposure and bring down I post a bit. Nice video, cheers! 🤘

[@stumpflukas]

Yes I mentioned it in the video that I only used 1250 and 400 :)
