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

[@OfTwoLands]

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

[@waveland]

I will retire my 6K Pro as soon as the CC arrives on my workbench, for the following reasons: I prefer the flexibility of open gate filming and plan to shed all my 16/17:9 cameras over the next year. Internal CFExpress is a huge improvement over strapping SSDs to the rig, plus this frees up the USB-C for networking and upcoming integration with the new cloud workflow. The automatic proxies will also allow me to travel lighter for remote editing-at worst an even trade off with packing NDs. Plus having larger photo sites definitely matters for image quality. Rolling shutter? The difference compared with the 6K Pro seems negligible even at open gate, but what happens when filming 17:9? I bet the difference disappears. The CC 6k is definitely my camera of choice between the two.

[@evanthecameraman]

​@@waveland Great points! For my workflow, the 6K Pro is here to stay until something better comes along. The internal ND in my niche is invaluable as I am constantly moving from interior to exterior shots. Also, ProRes is the flavor of choice for many companies I currently work with as they are not all familiar or comfortable with BRAW files. The full frame is a welcome addition but I feel is just a stepping stone into the L-mount. The next camera bodies will definitely be more feature packed I'm sure and bring some of those necessities I have into them. But for me, the CC is lacking in a few departments that just don't give it the edge. Cheers!

[@waveland]

@@evanthecameraman I will deliver ProRes as needed, but much prefer to gather the underlying color data in BRAW. Then fine tune. Then render the required codec. To me it’s a fail safe against operator error.

[@OfTwoLands]

@@waveland Totally agree, I shoot BRAW 90% of the time for that reason now.

[@OfTwoLands]

@@waveland Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts!! This new cam definitely has a lot going for it.

[@WinfordM]

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

[@dougfranckwolf]

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.

[@OfTwoLands]

Congrats!! Thanks for watching and for sharing your reasons for owning the two. Happy shooting!

[@ValentinaTheCreator]

And or, you can always just buy ND filters as theyre not that expensive, and you'll get a full frame open gate/anamorphic footage without any attachment. nd filters, battery, storage are easily add-ons for me. The only issue is the 6k footage staying at 30 fps whereas the 6k pro at 60fps, of course if you want that shot. Than I'll the 6k pro for that instance.

[@hirothehero_jp]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Haha me too, that’d be amazing!!

[@A388Flyer]

That empty space in the file format/shooting menu beside Blackmagic Raw is screaming for ProRes (or something else to come) in future firmware updates.

[@mxtreme87]

When will its pro version be out?

[@Swexicaan]

​@@mxtreme87I'd guess a year or two

[@loiccardenas]

It’ll be called the LUMIX S1H II hehehe

[@lukesauls]

For anyone wondering, full frame doesn't give you a more shallow depth of field at equivalent focal lengths to Super 35. At 7:57 he shows this by (not quite exact) matching field of view, and showing the same bokeh at 35mm. Only things that changes depth of field is if you change your focal length to match the same field of view or moving the camera to match field of view. That's what's changing the depth of field, not the sensor size.

[@lukesauls]

Anyways great shots and comparison

[@keef69]

since the difference is about x 1,84 toward the full frame, you mean that for equivalent bokeh/seperation, you'd need roughly a 90 mm on 6k pro as an equivalent for a 50 mm on a 6k FF, right ? i'm wondering about the 6k FF with a metabones ..

[@silas1414]

In practice it does change depth of field, but in a kind of counter intuitive way. What changes is the relationship of field of view and depth of field and the end result it produces. Technically the depth of field is the same or near-same for the same focal lengths, but because it is giving you a wider field of view than S35 at the same distance, the end result is you will get a shallower depth of field for the same field of view, because the camera position must be brought back to achieve the same field of view, affecting the depth of field. This is why when taken to the extreme with something like an IMAX capture you get that distinct wide but shallow look.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

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.

[@matthewhartman7176]

There's a lot of factors we filmmakers give credence to in order to justify our spending habits that general audiences neither notice nor care about. Rolling shutter is only one of them. The problem with this is that often the most important factor is overshadowed, which is the story. It's truly putting the cart before the horse, but we continue to engage in GAS to fill in the voids of missing skillset. Too much importance on what we're filming with rather than what we're filming. Contrary to popular belief, it's the pros that mostly get caught up in this.

[@hellotoddsky]

Absolutely agree with the rolling shutter part. The normal consumer doesn't even know it exists, let alone notice it. Sometimes we sadly get too hung up on quite irrelevant things instead of simply creating. Camera companies use this to make us buy new gear every year even though we don't need it in 90% of the cases.

[@filmbyakiljoefield]

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!

[@OfTwoLands]

Really glad you enjoyed it, thank you!! The new 6K is definitely an impressive cam :)

[@Thatsmantas]

I think it would be nice to compare it to the Panasonic S5 II X because it has an L-mount, it's full-frame, and it can record in ProRes and BRAW. Additionally, it features phase autofocus instead of contrast-based autofocus. At this price point, it might be a deciding factor.

I never felt I wanted a full frame, until they had that huge sale and I couldn't resist grabbing one while it was only $1500. I still love my 6K Pro, and it's still my go-to for shooting outdoors because I don't need to fiddle with different ND filter ring adapters or boxes. That said, I love that I no longer worry about the crop.

[@GDFilmsLondon]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Hey, thanks for watching and for the positive feedback!! And congrats on the getting the new 6K I think you'll be pretty happy indeed :) Such a beautiful image in such a small body!

Woohoo congrats!!

[@quantumimagesQC]

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.

[@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.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks!! Having 4:3 S35 and 3x2 6K OG in this new camera is pretty cool and very flexible.

[@KenFlanagan]

Appreciated but the question is quite simple. If you have the 6k pro and you are going to do a shoot why would you swap it out and choose the FF version instead. Are you going to grab a whole new set of lenses?? No. Shallower dof without auto focus just makes focusing more difficult given this camera has no af compared to say a c70 4d or fx3 fx6?? Landscapes generally dont need more width given a general rule is accessibility. A sharper image sure but the 6k is plenty sharp enough for most use cases and social. If shooting open gate the image will have to be cropped as a deliverable so youll be losing sensor real estate? Shooting outside which is what you seem to do most if the time surely needs nd?? Maybe the internal nd on the pro isn’t good enough?? Shooting anamorphic is the only reason and given how much more weight anamorphics generally are how is this form factor suitable? Likewise it’s unlikely youll want to shoot landscapes with anamorphic because if the distortion. If its for narrative then A kinefinity mavo would make more sense for anamorphic. Locking mounts?? Sdi. The ff pro is still a camera that cannot be shouldered mounted. Not particularly gimbal friendly. As alternatives go unless it had genlock or sdi an olpf doesn’t seem enough of an upgrade despite how obvious a short fall it was without. I cannot see the use case or when it would make sense to carry these two different cameras around. Lenses?? Though some may think that this new model is an improvement it solves none if the immediate issues why so many people have given up on bm. Given you shoot landscape’s and for ljbrary i just don’t understand why you dont use the new 12k with olpf???

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for your detailed opinion. I actually used the same lenses on the 6K FF, just with an adapter. And full frame does help with landscape and depth, that I can confirm. And I don't use the 12k because as a solo shooter I prefer the Pocket body especially when hiking for hours or when traveling.

[@BaconMoustache]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Haha thanks for stopping by ☺️🙏

[@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?

[@MrMick560]

[@jeremy_woods]

I don't know if it's gonna be this one. Definitely love that image and i think it's the best looking one i've seen from Blackmagic, but an Ursa body with this sensor, ND, V mount battery, faster processing for rolling shutter. Well that'd just be 😚👌 ...real nice.

[@OfTwoLands]

Yes it would be!! :)

[@nigerian-nightmare]

For the benefit of those of us who use the camera for weddings, your next test should be low light at ISO 3200 and 6400. Interested in seeing if it is usable at ISO 6400 like my Panasonic s5IIX. On 6kpro, ISO 6400 is trash. BTW, your film converter is the best. It works great across all the cameras except on Fuji. It's not the best for Fuji, but it's excellent for Black Magic, Panasonic, and Canon. Not sure if I am doing something wrong with it when it comes to Fuji.

[@phrasalsyntax]

The BMCC 6K FF seems to be pretty good in low light: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpmUoGqjj6qfeaM

[@BeierFilms]

Interesting comparison. I'm debating between these two as a personal camera and I'm strongly leading towards the flexibility of the Pro, not just for the NDs but also because of ProRes support. I can definitely see a world in which I would want the Full Frame for certain projects but, to me, that feels more like the type of project I'll be renting gear for anyway. Being forced to shoot in RAW all the time (even with proxies); makes it hard for me to think about his camera as something I can just pick up at a moment's notice and go shoot some B-roll with. Right now the 6kFF feels like a half measure. I really wish they'd included a better form factor, NDs, Pro Res recording if they were going to upgrade. I think a lot of people would have been willing to pay an extra $500 - $1000 for some of these features.

[@robertper4102]

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.

[@damiansciberras]

I am in a real similar position and use the same set up!!

[@Adamkhannn]

The only gripe is no internal nd filters

[@AdamGell]

Any thoughts on the Sony fx-30 to the pocket 4K?

[@Indieblackmagic]

I just purchased this camera (I was so excited that it was finally available) and it’s arriving in a few days! I have a question for you though. How is the super 35 mode? Does it still retain the same depth of field, image, low noise floor, and lowlight performance as open gate since it’s on the full frame sensor? Basically I’m asking if it becomes a juiced out 6k pro on the super 35 mode, or does the noise floor and problems of the 6k pro start to sneak in?

[@JonasStuart]

"Best image from any camera you've owned." Serious commendation. So close to pressing the button on this one!

@@OfTwoLands gotcha, I'm looking at different options as to what I shall acquire in the very near future, I was thinking of getting the S5iix and pairing it with a FP but with this release from Blackmagic I'm thorn haha. Also, this might just be me but since I don't like filming with SSDs too much I think the addition/replacement of the CFexpress to the BMCC is a top notch addition!

[@SamAxtell]

I was a little underwhelmed with the BMCC 6K…probably because I predicted it to be a true “mini” ursa with a PL mount, internal nds, higher dynamic range, etc. But I own the 6k pro and it still is my dream camera to own. I want to mod it with the PL mount and use cine lenses one day. I think Blackmagic’s target customers for the new cine line fall right under the URSA customers, so maybe I’ll just get to the level of an URSA one day. 😂 Anyway, I was waiting for someone to make this video so thank you.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching!! A new mini or micro Ursa would be amazing for sure :)

[@peterchamalian5005]

As someone who formerly converted a P6K to PL via wooden camera’s conversion system, there’s a few major factors to be aware of that I’d like to warn you of. 1. It’s nearly impossible to re-convert back to EF once converted. 2. The flange in the P6K is extremely shallow, which rules out a lot of PL lenses as they’ll puncture the sensor. I wanted to use super speed mkiis for a project, but after researching and testing, the back of the lens would’ve nearly kebab’d the entire camera. Just wanted to share as these were two pretty significant discoveries of mine.

[@SamAxtell]

@@peterchamalian5005 Gotcha, good to know. Do you know a good range for the back of pl lenses before they hit the sensor? Since I have a 6k pro, I’d also have to make sure they dont get in the way of the NDs. I believe the channel Film Jams tested a few, but I want to try and find a list of confirmed lenses with the 6k pro w/pl mount.

[@HakonBroderLund]

You can also use a speed booster and cropping the sensor to super35 4K. You still have the depth of field from the full frame lens, get an extra stop or so of light and get better rolling shutter performance.. Main trade off is that you are shooting 4K and not 6K. But for many situations that is fine.

I'm not interested in greater bokeh, most narrative film movies use a S35mm sensor.

I'm in love with the cinematic quality of the 6k Pro, but I'm very curious to test the image from the FF

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.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for the positive feedback and for watching!! Really is a tough choice for sure.

[@Scriptshepherd]

The choice comes down to Internal NDs vs Full Frame sensor. That's a tough call. I'm curious though, why with a full frame sensor, the new BMCC6K is advertised with only 13 stops of dynamic range, the same as the APS-C Pocket 6Ks. My one complaint with image quality in my BMPCC6K is low-light performance, so I would hope the new larger sensor would provide an extra stop in the shadows.

[@OfTwoLands]

It sure is a tough call! To me this sensor gather more light but I haven’t used it in low light yet so can’t really compare. I’ve always find the 6K cameras to be ok in low light and also to be very easily cleaned in post when shooting raw.

Ff is the obvious choice for me because it has more variety of choices of lenses to pick 5 then of the 6k pro, which feels like more lens brands are moving away ftom ef mounts every day.

[@louisrafaelcom]

I think if the 6K FF is sharper, it's because it's making use of more glass. If you only use a small part of a lens for the same pixel resolution, then you're magnifying resolving limitations of a given lens.

[@JoseTheRover]

This is a perfect video disproving the myth that you get "more bokeh" with bigger sensors. Theres no such thing. Bokeh depends on lens, focal length and distance to subject not sensor size. Perfect comparison.

[@daleweed]

Correct but you have to switch to a different focal length. You can get closer on the same focal length in FF because of the larger image, and the warping from the lens is what I’m interested in. I want to shoot my subject in 19mm, not 35mm for example

[@CABIN6FILMS]

Thank you @OfTwoLands What about autofocus? That is also a big difference isn't it? How does the autofocus perform on the full frame?

Loved that comparison. It takes more sense when you realize that Blackmagic made a good decision in my opinion by producing a new camera that would not replace the older version but that would focus on other aspects. I found the crop factor explanation very useful and was wondering if it has a crop zoom mode such as the PIXEL│PIXEL mode I have on my GH6. Can be useful sometimes when you dont't bring all of your lenses with you for a project but want some close up shots. Cheers !

Hi! Great video! What anamorphic lens did you use on the full frame camera?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks!! Great Joys :)

[@LisaSamaritan]

At 7:58, it seems like the new camera have a darker picture, with a slight reddish tint to it. Looking at the skin tone of the figurine, I am guessing that the more neutral color of the old one is more correct. Being able to look at the object and compare it to the picture. Which one is closer to the correct color?

[@sitebstudios]

Thanks for this video. I can't wait to get this camera. Also, from the video, these cameras will match perfectly. Do you think so?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching!! And yes, I think they will match pretty easily. Even though the 6K FF as more details and depth and a superior image overall they still look similar in terms of colours and general look.

[@sitebstudios]

@@OfTwoLands Perfect, thank you!

[@alutzlft]

Bro, the shot @3:20 its amazing, that shot alone made me a suscriber lol

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much 🙏🌊

[@jazzlehazzle]

Also 6K-50. That’s a pretty specific use case we might need.

[@DeanHarringtonimages]

Good presentation on the differences between the 6k pro and 6k full-frame!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you!! Glad you liked it ☺️

[@keef69]

Very nice. How about a metabones on the 6k pro .. to have a simulated sensor size of the same height as the FF ? Would it compare nicely, regarding the image uality / separation ?

[@shauntayers]

Hi Flo! I was curious if the Tilta cages will fit the new CC6k (from the PC6k non pro)

[@OfTwoLands]

Hey, I have no idea actually as I have never used that one :(

[@ryansulak]

something i didnt see covered which im interested in: does the FF have much better lowlight naturally? might also be something to consider for run and gun shooters. Do they both still have gyro for stabilization?

[@OfTwoLands]

I haven't shot in low light yet and from what I can tell based on my experience so fare I think the 6K FF is gathering more light but can't quantify it.

[@ALLTHINGSCINEMA24]

Hey.. think you forgot to compare the low light and noise. I'm curious as the dynamic range is the same BUT does the FF sensor with bigger pixels allow the FF 6K to have better low light?

[@ShaQti0007]

I read that the new bmcc 6k has 4 internal microphones. Can you share some details of the same. I love recording moments with my kids, and a good internal stereo microphone would be so good. Thanks

[@nouvelphotofilm]

Do you think 6k Pro cages (like the Tilta cage) would fit the Cinema 6k?

[@MrSujg]

Hi! Would you still use NiSi IRND on bmcc FF or the new OLPF filter is enough to get rid of IR pollution?

[@DANAMIONLINE]

The background separation of the Full-frame camera isn’t apparent to me. I simply don’t see it.

[@OfTwoLands]

KZbin probably doesn't help haha!

[@DANAMIONLINE]

@@OfTwoLands ahhh. I might have to rent this camera.

[@mguess1796]

BMPCC 6k shoot Blackmagic RAW and H.264 proxies at the same time. That is huge for my work flow.

[@OfTwoLands]

You mean the bmcc6k? And yes it’s pretty handy for sure!

[@mguess1796]

yes. didnt mean to add the "P" in there. lol!@@OfTwoLands

[@iyobosastudios]

Thanks for making this video. Question: How good is the quality of the .H264 proxies?... can they be used as social media clips?

[@OfTwoLands]

No worries, thank you for watching!! The proxies are ok, more to edit with than actually use as finals. Maybe you could use them for socials or to view on phones but they are pretty soft. It depends on the type of footage really. If the footage doesnt require a huge mount of dynamic range then it's actually ok.

[@iyobosastudios]

@@OfTwoLands Thank you for replying

[@iyobosastudios]

@@OfTwoLands one more question: what's the estimated battery life, with and without the battery pack extension?

[@lombardy3274]

how is low light performance on the Cinema Camera 6K? lots of reviews saying 3200 is noisy. Some people on the Blackmagic Forum saying that new firmware has caused issues with low light performance on older cameras. Wondering if it's a firmware bug in the new camera and not inherent of the sensor?

[@LukeBroadhurstfilm]

Would had liked to see low light comparison

[@OfTwoLands]

First of all I don’t really shoot in super low light and haven’t with this new cam yet and also I think this firmware might not be the final one and more testing are done in the iso department so better to wait to compare the two :)

[@LukeBroadhurstfilm]

@@OfTwoLands with the sensor being larger we all want to see how that makes a difference other then wider field of view/ aspect ratio. It would also be worthy to compare 2.8k at 120fps on the 6k pro versus 1080p 120 on the 6kFF because the 1080p on the FF is aquaring a little larger sensor area then 2.8k on the 6k pro.

[@SamuelJamesVideos]

It's really strange to me that no one has come out with a camera yet that just has "everything" ... Like price it accordingly but just put everything we're asking for in it already. It's obviously possible so what's the hold up?

[@OfTwoLands]

I don't think it's that easy, and it would be hard to satisfy everyone. It's also non only about price but size too as well as shape and all the componants. For example I would love to have a weather sealed camera but that's very hard to achieve when you need vents for processing power..

[@followthefocusofficial]

Great comparison. One thing in wondering, is the fan louder or quieter on the FF?

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks!! Haven’t noticed a difference so far but I’ve also only used the camera outside.

[@AutoFOCUSED.]

You should have tested the field of view in the other recording modes. I'd love to see the Sigma 18-35 in the Super 35 mode in comparison to the 6K Pro.

[@OfTwoLands]

I'll keep that in mind, doing my best to answer everyone's questions with videos and comments :)

[@stopframemedia]

I currently own two BMPCC 4K's and wish I bought the 6K Pro instead for the internal ND's, higher resolution and bigger sensor. Now I am torn because this camera came out and I want to sell my two 4K's and either get this camera or a used 6K Pro and a good photo camera for time lapses. Which I didn't see anyone post about regarding this camera. Does it have the same Off Speed Recording features as the pocket line?

[@filipmichalsaffray441]

Bravo pour la vidéo, Toujours dans la région de Grenoble? Vraiment difficile le choix entre le 6K,6K pro et éventuellement le S5iiX avec Videoassist 1#G que j'ai actuellement...vu que j'ai la 6Korg avec 24-105 F4 combo parfait pour run and gun et 3 boîtier S5org que j'utilise avec Ninja V. Je voulais un upgrade pour Noël j'ai eu de bons résultats avec le 6korg et Panasonic S5org...le mieux serait AF de Panasonic,Braw a l'interne image avec OPLF et un ND électronique a la Sony FX6😂😂😂😂😂 BlackPanamagic S2H

[@OfTwoLands]

Merci!! Et oui toujours dans la region :) Haha ca serait la camera ultime!!

[@chicojuanito395]

Did they fix the major issues from the previous 6k? The random audio drift? did it get ibis?

[@Jazzmarcel]

images look crazy good!........i have a a7siii and an fx3 and if I'm not mistaken, the quality seems better! can you tell me if its because you shoot raw or it the color grade???.........good stuff here!👍🏾😎

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you!! I haven’t used the Sonys so I can’t really compare but blackmagic has always been known for their image and I’m used to grade it ☺️

[@birthright94]

Blackmagic fans: We want a box style camera, high fps, internal nds, sdi, and with pocket sensor. Blackmagic: I gotchu. Here's a full frame camera, no high fps, horrible rolling shutter, no prores, no internal nd, no box style. Just like you wanted.

[@TheLostKuma]

Can’t wait to get mine!

[@OfTwoLands]

Can’t wait to see what you do with it mate!!

[@bonzology322]

rolling shutter never was and isnt an issue unless you dump straight from your cam to youtube....., which you don't

[@nima5230]

which one is the better choice for filming Musicvideos? ( i m thinking about purchasing one, but i m not quite sure wich one i should pick) i m a beginner and i m a little bit confused. 🤔

[@Meatyowlleg]

6k FF has 0.5 more dynamic range than the pro. Also you can replace the sigma 18-35 with the sigma 24-70. Even though I like to shoot low light anamorphic and there are more options out there for the FF than the pro, I'd wait for them release a upgraded version of FF or at least adding more recording formats. The box format is not 100% required if they just make the camera internally use bigger npf battery.

[@vaidasmiskunas2331]

Hi,how do you manage to get decent stabilisation with these cameras?Ther is no stabilisation isn't it?

[@OfTwoLands]

Hi, I am used to film handheld I guess :)

[@CineMobilePodcast]

Does the 6K Full Frame include the Gyro data in BRAW files for stabilization?

[@cinemaipswich4636]

I have seen a few reviews with lots of complaints. This is not a hybrid camera, it is a cinema camera. You will have to rig it with power, matte box, filters, storage and other things, just like every other cinema camera. Treat it like a box camera, and forget about its looks. It is not created as a point and shoot camera.

What lenses do you recommed for the FF camera ? Also, would it be good enough for photography ? Thanks.

I’ll make a video about my recommended lenses once I’ve used enough different ones :). And whilst you can take stills with this cam I always prefer to use a dedicated photo camera or just my phone.
