[@dfnkmedia492]

Great review man keep up the good work...what exactly is rolling shutter? That's one term I haven't understood in filmmaking

[@pauleporterdp]

Thanks mate will definitely do. Rolling shutter means that the sensor isn't reading the image as a whole. Instead it captures each line from top to bottom very fast to create the image. However fast moving objects appear bended because they moved during the sensor captures the image and because the object is at a different position when the camera captures the bottom line as it was when the camera captured the top line the object appears bended even though The object itself is straight. 😬

[@DavinaHader]

Great video! I own and use the ZCAM F6 professionally and love it! By the way Adobe Premiere 2020 can handle ZRAW with the new plugin and it works and looks wonderful! As well the latest ZCAM firmware has better sound quality. :)

Thank you 🙂 oh that's great to hear hope this will be implemented for Resolve as well 🙂 thanks for watching 🙂

[@StrackChat]

Awesome Video! I like the Z-Cam image better. I think the form factor of the Z-cam is a huge plus as well. Would love to see them on a gimbal, do they have autofocus at all or would you have to rig a focus pull on the gimbal as well?

[@pauleporterdp]

Thanks mate, glad that you like it 🙂 totally agree the shape of the zcam is great. Yes they have autofocus but it's pretty much not useable I think. So world recommend to pull focus manually 🙂

Paule Porter DP Thanks for this info, this makes it hard to choose ! Ha

[@pauleporterdp]

You’re welcome Paul. Soo true.... 😂😂

[@godboy159]

Hmm, I chose the BMPCC 6k image as the best every time. I've been waiting to see a comparison with the F6. I was contemplating picking up one of the ZCams due to it's body and features but every time I like the image better with the Blackmagic. I also like B Raw and am a Resolve user. I currently own both the BMPCC 6k and 4k and I just picked up Juan Melara's Alexa PowerGrades and wow does it make the BM cameras even better!

[@pauleporterdp]

Thanks for your feedback mate. Yes as a Resolve user the z cam doesn't make to much sense to be honest. Which is unfortunate hope that will change in the future but as said b raw is far better. And I don't spend 5k for a camera just to shoot in ProRes.

[@godboy159]

@@pauleporterdp My pleasure! Exactly.. It won't happen but every camera company should implement BRAW into their cameras. It's a great codec. Small size, great performance, lots of tweaks available at the file level and in my opinion much better than ProRes Raw.

[@pauleporterdp]

Yes I also don't understand the hype of ProRes Raw. R3D and BRaw are the best raw formats. So I also would love to see BRaw in more cameras especially z cam 🙂 I also asked that in the z cam group and they mentioned something like the negotiations with Blackmagic about that broke up. So I don't see a chance for BRaw on zcams 🤔

You need to use color space transform for LOG footage. Contrast and saturation won’t get you good results because it’s not a linear format. That’s why your colors were off.

I liked the Z Cam more in every single shot. Maybe I missed it but where you recording prores or prores raw to Ninja? You said you liked BRAW far more than Pro Res RAW. Why? I have FCPX and have dabbled a little in Resolve but that was several versions ago.. and frankly my 2014 MBP 15” probably isn’t up to snuff for the 6K BRAW or Pro Res RAW. Form factor the Z cam wins for me. I have used the BMPCC4K and the monitor is frankly useless in anything other than studio, so you still need to bring an Atomos or similar good monitor with you. If BM updated their Micro to a big brother cube super 35 or full sized sensor I would just got that route. But yes, BM you need to white balance on everything. I’ll look at the higher end Z cams... As I expected though your thoughts the DR was about the same.. the 13-15 stops I am guessing is potential DR while shooting log or even rating their ZRAW which is fairly pointless. So most of these under $4,000 cameras are really 11.5-12.5 stops of DR. IT’s just what flavor of log, lighting, grading you do can get you the advertised hire DR which is of course marketing... would that be a fair statement? Just a guess knowing how advertising works. :)

I'm so confused. Your accent was American when you said "hey guys", but then became German afterward.

As said I’m German ;)

Hi Kamil, thanks for your feedback 😄

[@ScreenFiends]

I'm not sure where this misconception that BRAW is better than ProRes comes from. It's been proven time and again that ProRes is that little bit better at preserving details than BRAW as BRAW is more compressed.

Thanks for your comment - I made a different experience to be honest.

ZCAM BETTER

[@pauleporterdp]

Thanks for your feedback

BMPCC 6K = $2,000 ZCam E2 F6 = $4,000 Is the ZCam F6 worth twice the price? No way. Here the F6 has shallower DOF due to FF, giving it a more pleasing image, but simply changing the lens on the BMPCC6K would allow the BMPCC6K to match the DOF. My big nit pick with the ZCams in general is the color science and skin tone. The skin looks too pink, which is a huge no, no.

[@pauleporterdp]

Thanks for your feedback but I have to disagree I think the skin tones of the z cam looks better on BM it looks to reddish

[@radfield6089]

the comparison test is kinda flawed, the 6k has a better image but its easy to tell which is which because of the crop factor. z cam fanboys out here in force.

[@pauleporterdp]

thanks for your kind words

[@Hannibhaal777]

Z cam rolling shutter looks bad

[@pauleporterdp]

It’s ok definitely better than bmpcc 6k.

I wish people would stop using raw as a selling feature, raw is stupid to use it’s not a pro feature it’s more for someone who doesn’t know what that are doing,

Thanks for watching anyways
