Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

Packaged well. Delivered swiftly. And the product is exactly as described. These cameras have that creamy cinematic look to die for. I'm looking forward to rocking this this summer. Its low-light performance is phenomenal.

I have 2 of these now as I use them daily as part of the kit line-up for by small production company. My review won't be a surprise, as there are literally thousands of 5-star product reviews for this amazing cinema camera. What I will say, which is no reflection on this camera, is choose your lenses wisely. Although this is classed as a budget cinema camera, there's nothing " budget" about it's performance, so putting cheap glass on the front defeats the object. If you're on a tight budget, look for a used cine lens that has some kudos, and you'll be shooting Hollywood standard footage in no time.

While the camera's sensor MFT may not be enough for some seasoned filmmakers, the BMPCC 4K delivers a stunning camera that works seamlessly in the Da Vinci Resolve workflow. It is not perfect in the world of £10k++ cameras, but for £1300.00 it is worth it's weight in gold. This camera is for budding filmmakers and professionals. As there will be a steep learning curve for the enthusiast whose experience in cameras are purely "point and shoot". Saying that this is an affordable camera to get you started in the wonderful world of F-stop and RAW, HDR and all those video technical bits you hear from some youtubers.

An absolute beast of a camera, great image quality and versatility, incredible capability in low light and incredibly cinematic. Would recommend stocking up on batteries and only use SD cards, nor micro SDs as its prone to overheating at times. Would recommend to any filmmakers regardless of budget. Also comes with Davinci 16 which in my opinion is one of the best non linear editors out there.

Difficult for me to judge because it is my first 4k camera. Not easy to set up, a lot of extras on the rig but once you get it running smooth controls and great picture.

Nothing unexpected about this great camera.

It's very frustrating reading the negative reviews on here. Both were posted before the camera was released and are completely fruitless 1 star comments. Really is a shame that fanboys of other cameras feel the need to rate down an awesome product just because they are scared it might be superior to their favorite! Anyway review time. Pros: - 4k 60fps DCI RAW: This is unheard of at this price point (£1100 max, don't overpay). - Picture quality: It is near enough as good as larger full frame cinema cameras, the colour science is insane. Blackmagic have nailed it here. - Recording formats: RAW and ProRES. RAW is incredibly versatile for editing, and ProRES is about as streamlined as it gets. My old outdated computer cuts through 4k ProRES like it's butter. - Ease of use: The interface, everything, just great! Cons: - Battery life: it sucks, but the batteries are cheap and plentiful so either find an external battery solution or bring spares! - no in camera stabilisation/autofocus: These are subjective depending on your uses. This is a cinema camera so realistically you shouldn't need these things anyway, but if you're coming from a DSLR or another mirrorless you might miss them. Overall this camera can't be beaten for the price. It's an absolute monster and produces the best images I've ever seen from a camera in the <5k range. It's untouchable right now.

Obviously, the BMPCC4K is an incredible piece of kit. However, it really is a cinema camera, not a pocket camcorder. If you are considering buying one to step up from a high-end camcorder or a prosumer camera, beware. I would not recommend this device to non-professional videographers. It’s really more of a handy addition to a professional’s arsenal. If you want to splash out on a decent lens, a versatile rig and all the other accessories to compliment this device, you will end up with something that isn’t even the slightest bit pocket sized. Aside from the well-know drawbacks like the battery life and the image stabilisation, this device also shoots enormous and very demanding files that need to be touched up shot by shot in post production. Again, this is all fine if you have the time and some experience in this field. My mistake was thinking that I could use this device in a run-and-gun sense like I did with my previous camcorders. This is not a step up from a high-end camcorder. High-end camcorders can do a great deal more and are so much easier to use. I wish I was a good enough photographer with the time and dedication to use the BMPCC4K properly, but in the end I had to sell it and buy a nice Sony 4K camcorder, which worked out so much better for me. I do miss the BMPCC4K though. It was a brilliant device, just not quite suitable to my needs

LO MEJOR: 1- Los archivos. Lo mejor de la cámara son los tipos de clips que graba. Se puede escoger entre cuatro variantes de ProRes (todas 4:2:2, 10 bits e intraframe) o RAW CinemaDNG con tres tipos de compresión. Ninguna cámara de este segmento (ni la mayoría de las que son mucho más caras) graban ficheros de tanta calidad y tan agradecidos en posproducción. La resolución va de 4096×2160 a 60p a 1920×1080 a 120p y es previsible que en futuras actualizaciones permita grabar Blackmagic RAW. 2- El sistema operativo. Sencillo, intuitivo y rápido, a años luz de la competencia. Además, muchas de las funciones se pueden controlar vía Bluetooth. 3- El tamaño de la pantalla. Lo que más llama la atención la primera vez que coges la cámara es la enorme pantalla de 5 pulgadas, táctil y con bastante brillo. 4- Rango dinámico. Oficialmente Blackmagic dice que la cámara da hasta 13 pasos. Y lo he podido comprobar realmente, he llegado a 13 pasos y medio. 5- La cámara viene con una licencia de Davinci Resolve Studio, hoy en día uno de los mejores programas de posproducción que existe. Un valor añadido incuestionable. 6- La variedad de soportes de grabación. CFast 2.0, SD UHS-II e incluso discos SSD a través de USB-C. Es difícil ponerle pegas a semejante cantidad de opciones. 7- Textura de imagen. El sensor es relativamente luminoso, pero a partir de 3200 ISO vamos a tener ruido. Lo bueno es que es un grano “agradable”, alejado del ruido de ganancia típico de otros equipos. Además, con Resolve Studio se puede eliminar fácilmente. 8- Un despliegue de todo tipo de entradas y salidas, entre las que destaca un HDMI de tamaño normal o entrada de audio balanceado con alimentación Phantom. 9- LUTs. Se pueden utilizar LUTs 3D tanto para monitorización como para grabación. 10- El precio. Teniendo en cuenta que incluye Resolve Studio que cuesta más de 300€, es difícil de mejorar. LO PEOR: 1- Duración de la batería interior. Nada demasiado grave, como en cualquier tipo de cámara de cine, hay que usar baterías externas para rodajes largos. 2- Pantalla no abatible. Es cierto que la pantalla mola, pero el hecho de que sea fija hace que en algunas posiciones sea realmente incómoda. Nada que no se pueda arreglar con un monitor externo. Ahora tenemos excelentes alternativas a muy buen precio. Además para rodar cine el monitor es imprescindible para controlar correctamente el foco. En mi caso preferí la versión 4K sobre la 6K por dos motivos: 1- Si quieres rodar en 4K, la versión 6K hace un crop sobre el sensor. Y además no te permite usar ProRes. Completamente inaceptable. 2- Se necesita un ordenador increíblemente potente para editar en 6K. Y seamos honestos, ¿quién necesita 6K? No olvidemos que las principales películas del Hollywood se siguen rodando tanto con Red como con Arri Alexa a 3.4 K. 3- Disponemos de unos juegos de objetivos CINEMATOGRAFICOS en versión M4/3 con una calidad insuperable y a precios casi regalados. Los MEIKE T2.2 en esférico, y los SIRUI en ANAMÓRFICO. Imposible pedir más por tan poco dinero. Junto con la BMPCC 4K obtenemos un conjunto IMBATIBLE. POR EL PRECIO POR EL QUE AHORA PODEMOS COMPRAR ESTA CÁMARA ES UN PECADO PENSÁRSELO SIQUIERA.

Ottima macchina anche se le versioni dal 2024 hanno un diverso sensore e monitor. Il monitor vira al verde/giallo quindi non fateci caso perché il file invece è bilanciato secondo la temperatura impostata. Il sensore invece lavora bene a 200 e a 1250, non più a 400 come le versioni del primo anno e mezzo di produzione. Su 1250 fa un po' di grana ma niente di troppo distrubante e comunque si toglie facilmente. Occhio perché se lavora a 400 fa più grana che a 1250.

Qualidade, prazo certo e com a certificação original.

I bought a number of SmallRig and Rokinon products, along with Blackmagic and RODE gear, on the recommendation of a professional photographer and videographer as I was putting together a professional-grade kit for my company to produce in-house videos at scale. I couldn’t be happier. The full kit cost about the same as a single day’s shoot with a high-end production outfit. With a bit of training, we’ve already produced more than a hundred videos and turned it into a social media engine for the business. The setup has been fundamentally affordable, incredibly effective, and surprisingly approachable for non-specialists. Across the board, every product has felt professional-grade but still learnable for an amateur willing to pay a little attention. Five stars all around.

Was looking for a new camera to shoot some video - heard a lot of great things about the 4K and decided to take the leap. This camera takes some INCREDIBLE footage. While the battery life isn't great, there are tons of solutions out there to mediate the problem. The editing software included is also very straight forward and easy to use. I highly recommend this camera to anyone interested in starting out in film.
