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.

[@nxdgna]

3:20 that shot is unbelievable amazing work bro

Thanks so much!!

[@GDFilmsLondon]

[@OfTwoLands]

Woohoo congrats!!

[@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?

[@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.

[@light_leaks]

I have a lot of original canon ef glasses, primes and zooms. Does the Sigma adapter work fine with, let's say, the 16-35, 24-70, 70-200? I guess the sirui jupiter line would work without limitation, right? Your answer would be a huge help as I can not decide between the ff and the pro. Full usage of my canon lenses would be of great help

[@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?

[@BaconMoustache]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@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?

[@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.

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 :)

[@AskJoe]

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.

[@christiancavazos4358]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks!! Great Joys :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@ArchetypeCinemaLLC]

[@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.

[@Scriptshepherd]

​@@OfTwoLands I agree!

[@alchemymagick]

Hey Flo, I heard someone say that for the Pocket 4K, they like to record ProRes HQ HD to soften the image a bit, bc the 4K is a bit over sharpened comparatively. As someone who loves the softer filmic looks of the OG BMPCC, I’m wondering if shooting BRAW in HD would achieve a similar effect on the full frame Pocket 6k (being that it doesn’t shoot ProRes)?

[@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?

I'm not interested in greater bokeh, most narrative film movies use a S35mm sensor. But, I keep hearing that the full frame's sensor has larger photosites, which give the image a slightly richer, filmic look. If this is so, this camera is incredible. I'm in love with the cinematic quality of the 6k Pro, but I'm very curious to test the image from the FF

(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.

There was surprisngly only a small amount of vignetting but was easily fixed with a slight crop in. I am aware there is a super 35 crop mode on the new 6K FF so I wonder how that looks as well.

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.

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

[@alutzlft]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much 🙏🌊

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@tarekstatico]

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

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks mate!! A Pro version would be amazing, probably needs a new body though.

[@Titofke]

I miss a comparison of performance and noise at certain light levels. I'm assuming the C6K will require less light ergo a higher ND.

[@mistafussi7813]

Thank you for this comparison. Much appreciated.

[@OfTwoLands]

Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@alejandrovargas1171]

I really miss the prores in the full frame version of this camera. I always want Blackmagic to extend its codecs, for example H265, H264. Not all the content is for Raw.

[@OfTwoLands]

Even though I now shoot braw 99% of the time I still miss Prores too.

[@raymondmenard5444]

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.

[@mauricioli3901]

Great comparison, hope to see more. 👍🏻📸☀️☕🌴🌋🏝

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you :) !!

[@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.

[@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.

[@collinhardeman2614]

I know that you use Artlist for your music, but do yo mind sharing the name of the music track used in this video?

[@jazzlehazzle]

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

[@hellotoddsky]

Thanks for the in-depth review! I feel the BMCC 6K is the perfect camera to pair with a Lumix S5IIX. What one lacks, the other makes up for.

[@aman681]

The only one thing that I want from BM is Dual card recording. Have a ever experienced any card failures with the 6k pro? Do you use only cast with it?

[@OfTwoLands]

Never experienced any card failure with either of the original 6K or the Pro. I use both CFast and SD with the Pockets but mostly CFast.

[@aman681]

@@OfTwoLands Thanks for your reply. I use SD cards with my BMPCC4Ks and always fear losing data. Never had a failure though. OCD may be 😁

[@AndyKunkel]

A while ago I saw you using the EOS R as your B Cam. Still have it?

[@OfTwoLands]

Sure do ☺️

[@AndyKunkel]

@@OfTwoLands good to hear! I have it mainly for gimbal work. The autofocus has been acting up as of late unfortunately, but it still serves it's purpose. Looking forward to your next documentary!

[@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.

[@Breonnick]

Ty for this review. Its nice to hear the oros and cons from some one who used both cameras instead of youtubers being salty that black magic didnt give them one early. 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.

[@Walnutplaner]

what a beautiful place! id love to see that out my window lol thanks for the informative video mate

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏔️

[@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

[@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!

[@ardiyanto.t]

Wow the 6k FF.. remind me to ori 4k (slimmer) vs ori 6k (bulkier). Any change to test w/native L lens? Not really fans of mount adapter (make it more bulkier).

[@OfTwoLands]

I will test it with a native L lens asap! So far this adapter has been very solid even though I don’t like adapters in general I’ve been very happy with the sigma.

[@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?

[@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 ☺️

[@aspensplace3293]

Very thorough review.

[@OfTwoLands]

☺️🙏

[@digital_pictures]

How about lowlight performance of new FF sensor compare to S35?

[@OfTwoLands]

I actually haven't shot in low light yet but I intend to asap :)
