There’s a huge, rubber-clad grip for your right hand and a large nub for your right thumb to rest against, so it’s not hard to get a good firm grip on the camera. When you do, you’ll find the majority of the physical controls easily to hand, including the all-important video stop/start button and dedicated controls for high frame-rate, autofocus and auto-aperture adjustment. On the rear of the camera, buttons to adjust the aperture and focus automatically (if your lens supports these features) are handily right next to your right thumb. Finally, there are three programmable buttons along the top, which by default are mapped to the False Color feature, a default LUT, and frame guides. However, you can change these to whatever function you find most useful while shooting. Separately, if you’re looking for a camera with autofocus, you’d be better off with something like the Panasonic S5 II or S5 IIX, the Fujifilm X-H2, or X-H2S.

Infamously, the Achilles heel of this camera series is poor battery life. The battery grip allows three batteries to be loaded which is a big help, although still not likely enough to get through a day of shooting. You are therefore faced with purchasing an ample supply of the petite standard batteries and chargers or adding something big and chunky like a battery base or v-mount solution. Every mirrorless camera on the market offers continual autofocus in video mode. While some systems are more successful than others at pulling off fast video focus, they all do surprisingly well, especially with human subjects. The BMPCC is still in the manual-focus-pull era of cinematography. A lot of video and cinema content is still created using manual focusing lenses, but having autofocus you rarely use is better than having none. The BMPCC 6K G2 has a Canon EF mount, which makes it compatible with a vast array of lenses between Canon’s native glass and glass connected with adapters.
But this mount also highlights one of the system’s limitations compared to more technologically advanced hybrid cameras. We've been using 3 cameras for almost a year. Everything has been functional so far. No new dead pixel issues. There is 120fps slow-motion in 2.8K 17:9 Raw or in HD ProRes scaled from 2.7K. The crop in 120fps in 3.388x, which is a huge amount. It might work for you in shooting some sport or wildlife, though, as it gives your lenses a huge reach but at the expense of image quality.

Man sollte aber auch wissen, dass man für eine sinnvolle Nutzung dieser Kamera noch weiteres Zubehör in etwa gleicher Gesamthöhe wie der Kaufpreis investioeren muss. The battery is also weak, lasting between 35-45 minutes depending on whether you’re using the official batteries and how bright you set the camera’s LCD display. Onboard recording is to CFexpress Type B cards, which are fast, robust, and relatively capacious. I was sent a couple of 256GB cards with my review sample of the Cinema Camera 6K and found that I could fit roughly an hour of 6K footage on it. Interestingly (and quite annoyingly), I also found that I had to remove the card and insert it into a card reader to get the footage onto a computer, as the Cinema Camera 6K’s USB-C 3.1 port doesn’t support this type of direct connection.

Its price made it an excellent choice for students, new cinematographers, and users of higher-end gear that needed a b-camera or crash camera. However, it was not known for its robust feature set or durability (and it would very easily overheat), but it did everything you could need at that price and did it with a fantastic menu system to boot. Genial das Bedienungskonzeüt über den touchscreen mit sofortigem direkten Zugriff auf die wichtigen Einstellungsparameter The Cinema Camera 6K’s large sensor requires a suitable lens format, which it gets in the form of L-Mount, the 51.6mm-diameter bayonet system co-developed by Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma. Despite L-Mount only being introduced in 2018, there are currently over 50 full-frame lenses available from the three founding manufacturers, plus adapters that allow the fitting of hundreds, if not thousands, of third-party lenses. Users of this camera will enjoy plenty of choice when it comes to creating different looks and fields of view. The Panasonic mentioned above S5 II also has a much less rolling shutter, which I found to be a major issue on the BMPCC 6K G2. Many hybrid cameras with full-frame sensors have less rolling shutter than this camera does.Finally, it’s worth noting that, while the PCC 6K Pro is sturdily constructed from a combination of tough plastic and carbon fibre, it’s in no official sense 'rugged' or water-sealed for use in adverse weather conditions. Features and specs Mit nur einem TB kommt man bei RAW 3:1 6K allerdings nicht weit , insofern macht es vermutlich Sinn mehrere SSDs zu kaufen (und eine billigere 6+TB Festplatte zur Datensicherung an PC zuhause...). Oder eben eine teurere CFast 2.0 Karte. Wobei selbst die 8:1 oder 12:1 Raw Variante in den meisten Fällen ausreichen sollte und damit kann man schon ein paar Stunden filmen. Wer in erster Linie in ProRes-4K filmen möchte, der könnte auch mit etwas billigeren SD-Karten zurechtkommen. The BMPCC is an extremely versatile camera with incredible picture quality. What you get out of the camera is the raw ingredients that when cooked in Davinci Resolve (full studio license included) produces amazing imagery. The 6K BRAW file format is what I shoot almost everything in as it captures the best resolution and picture that this camera can produce. The file sizes, although large, when you realise what it's captured (i.e. RAW at 6K) is quite impressive. I capture to the Samsung T5 2Tb SSD which has no problem. As a test I left it recording for 3 hours and that captured approx 600Gb. Another feature I was expecting the USB port to cover is power supply, as is the case on most mirrorless cameras these days. But no dice. For constant power supply, there’s a 12V DC input, which will probably suit filmmakers who already have the required gear but isn’t too friendly to less well-equipped newcomers. The USB does, however, support internal battery charging via a power bank, albeit only when the camera power is turned off.
