Need honest advice — Should I buy a Blackmagic Pocket 4K or Sony A7III for short films & music videos?

I've been using cine cameras for 12 years now and have experience with Sony, Blackmagic, Arri, Red, Panasonic etc all of it. Sony is by far my least favorite brand of all the cameras when it comes to consumer/prosumer. Their flagship cameras have always been great though. (Like Venice, F55 etc) The

I have a BMPCC 4K, and Idk where to start...any advice???

I stated with a BMPCC 4k not too long ago, and no idea of how to do anything at all… probably still don’t lol. I’m so glad I learned on this though. These cams are ridiculously good. Cheap too. A few things I found on the way that may help with what Google searches etc (there is so much golden info

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

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

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

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

Need honest advice — Should I buy a Blackmagic Pocket 4K or Sony A7III for short films & music videos?

I have the A7iii and hate it for video; it's a fantastic camera for photography but not for video. I used it for two video projects and it is behind even my OG Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (1080p) in terms of image quality and especially flexibility in grading. Better low-light capability of cour
