Convince me to switch

For wedding photography I think you'd be better off keeping the FX30 as your A camera, especially if you rely on autofocus. The main advantage with the BMPCC 4K is the better flexibility for grading: I have an FX30 as well and while the footage is much more flexible than I feared (in terms of adjust

Pro colorists here, what do you guys look for a camera that you would use personally like for travel?

Partial to Blackmagic cameras, BMPCC 4K and 6K are good on a budget. Or Alexa’s, also the best color science and handling for more $$$

Most Affordable (Used) Mirrorless for Vintage lens Filmmaking

I think the Nikon Z-series are your best choice, but for the most flexibility for grading in post you could consider the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K; this has MFT mount so you'll want to use focal reducers unless you're okay with the so-called crop factor. It doesn't have IBIS but does have g

Upgrade to BMP 4k and DaVinci

Hello, Former GH6 and BMPCC 4k shooter here 👋 I would say that the Blackmagic Color Science is pretty special - but how necessary and game-changing it is depends on what you’re shooting. I started doing live music sessions with 2 x GH6 and 1 BMPCC 4k in very high-contrast lighting conditions with lo

Upgrade to BMP 4k and DaVinci

So, firstly I should say I have the Gh6 so please do double check with GH5 too in case anything I say is incorrect / different. I would say that Blackmagic Video Design Assist is expensive(!) unless you can find a deal, but you need the 12g one in order to record the 5.7k / 4k from GH5. It works as

Let’s say you had to buy a camera right now. Which of the three would you choose?

r/bmpcc 5/10/25 Zorbaxxxx Bmpcc 6K Pro or Bmcc 6K FF as B-Cam https://www.reddit.com/r/bmpcc/comments/1kihzm0/bmpcc_6k_pro_or_bmcc_6k_ff_as_bcam/ If the second camera to the BMCC6K FF is to be used for low light, the BMPCC4K is a better choice than a BMPCC6K. Quality F/0.95 lenses for MFT, like the Voigtlan

4K for run and gun?

I bought a lightly used Blackmgic Pocket Cinema Camerea 4k as well as a used Panasonic®️Lumix®️ GH7. I did both Micro Four Thirds based units for all the reasons you cited in your post plus more. GH7: is better in low light; Pristine stereo audio from the built-in mics and audio preamplifier. — I mean

Which digital cameras have the closest aesthetic to Super 16mm film?

The BMPCC 4K is the obvious answer for most people, and for good reason. The Micro Four Thirds sensor is physically close to Super 16mm dimensions, the colour science handles highlights in a way that feels organic rather than digital, and shooting in Blackmagic Raw gives you a latitude and grain str

Every Time I Try to Convert BMPCC4k ProRes 4ww LOG to Rec.709 it Looks Awful

Have you tried shooting BRAW and does that look good? If so, then the camera is fine and whatever method you're using to bring log into Rec 709 is not working. The simplest way to do this is Resolve Color Management. Forget LUTS, forget CSTs. Just do this: Create a new project or else delete all you

Sony A7III vs Blackmagic Cinema Camera 4k?

The A7iii is far better for photos, the BMPCC 4K is far better for video. I shot one or two video projects with the A7iii and while it worked I wouldn't do it again; I'm spoiled by working with Blackmagic Design footage. I use my A7iii for photography and love it for that, just not for video. The fo
