BMPCC4K Still good?

Another fanatical BMPCC 4K user here lol This camera is incredible. The image is superb. BUT, you pretty much have to rig this thing out to compensate for all of its shortcomings, like no CAF, terrible battery life, and whatever else you consider a con. But once you turn this thing into a proper cin

Looking for Used Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, and have Questions.

Data cards, either CFast2, high quality SDXC cards, or a decent USB-C SSD. The data rate of the P4K even at its lowest settings is likely going to be quite a shock compared to what you're used to out of the 700D. Also I'm noticing that they didn't actually list the focal length of that Samyang lens,

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

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

beginner cameras 1000 dollar budget?

I’d get a used BMPCC4K and take advantage of the Super 16 2.6K crop to use vintage cine lenses with an adapter. You could get a C mount to MFT adapter to use Cooke Ivotal lenses, or an Arri B mount or Arri S mount lens to MFT adapter. You could also adapt Arri-S lenses with $149.00 Rafcamera Arri St

BMPCC 4K or 6K Pro for a beginner filmmaker

El rendimiento de la 6k es mejor en todos los aspectos. Toma en cuenta que de lo que cuesta la cámara, probablemente invertirás el doble en los aditamentos necesarios para hacerla funcionar. Yo en lo personal tengo la BMPCC 4k y he gastado mas en los accesorios que en la misma cámara y aun me falta

Most affordable video centric mirrorless camera (used)??

Black Magic Pocket is unmatched for budget video. Its lack of AF is the big draw back to many users, but you don't care. They don't have ibis, but you can stabilize in post with gyro data in resolve. This requires the lens IS to be turned off, again not a problem for you. EF Speed boosters are very

PL lens on BMPCC4K

I use a PL-mount Super 16 lens on my OG Pocket (which has a Super 16 sensor) and it's great. The BMPCC 4K has the best resolution Super 16 mode of all the Blackmagic Design cameras except the Ursa 12K. You may still get some vignetting with some lenses. As others noted I wouldn't use a speed booster

used camera upgrade options: BMPCC 4k, 6k Pro, C100 MkII or Panasonic S5

Thanks for the input! Yeah, you're making a good point about the C100 footage. I think that was also one of the points that bothered me: Not only is it just full HD, but it's also only 8 bit. Despite the really affordable price and the great form factor/handling, I think I might just want to go for
