Cinegain Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hardly any I suppose since he speaks of 'a hair' and 'POINT 15'. It's nice to know image has slightly improved. Then again, some time has passed, so it's only natural that more is possible with newer efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how bad the rolling shutter will be in 60p. BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemaMumford Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 So.. RAW 60fps is possible? Anybody knows anything about that? I asked to blackmagic but they didnt answer yet.. I can´t wait to get one of these babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cls105 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Since its a smaller improvement from what we expected, a price cut would be nice. How about the old $500 summer special. Turboguard and jbCinC_12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bats_rock Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 @ChemaMumford . I just received mine today and that's was one of my first test. You can't shoot in 60fps RAW. You can do Raw 3:1. ChemaMumford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If prores could almost match 5d3 raw then that would be an acheivment, especially at 60p. Yeah just raw, I haven't played with prores. 6 hours ago, Zak Forsman said: for rolling shutter, i want to be able to stack the cameras on top of each other. haven't done that yet. for battery life I didn't time it out but I'd say it's in the neighborhood of 2.5 times longer than the BMPCC battery would last. Samuel's crunched the numbers on my rolling shutter test: 13.4ms. Damn good.

There's no reason why it would be, or should be any faster in 60p. If it's possible to scan the sensor in 10ms, then that appies regardless of how many times it has to scan it. The only thing we knew for certain it that it must be capable of 16.6ms because that is 1/60th of a second. 13.4ms seems like a decent all round figure though anyway.

Zach Ashcraft Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 This camera is so dang exciting to me. Didn't realize how small it was until I saw the picture of it in Andrew's hand. Only thing keeping me from purchasing it now is the lack of a monitor, which I need to get for my Ronin endeavors anyway. But the "In Stock" tag on B&H is calling my name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garug Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The BMMCC form factor is perfect for a small and capable gimbal. The question just is, how much interest there is for such.

Lance Thorn Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi there, I've been a lurker for a looooong time but decided to join up. I'm a newbie so learning as I go. I recently received the BMMCC camera and did a very rough test between the BMPCC, same settings in a lowly lit room. I wanted to see if the dark areas showed dead pixels. Instead I saw this vertical banding going on. If it was broad daylight, something like this wouldn't be common/noticeable, correct? I am aware these are not lowlight cameras and I'll be using lights with them. I wanted to be discreet because I didn't tell my partner I purchased new toys...I will soon! :P If you want more proper tests, I can do it tomorrow when I have some alone time. I did some contrast adjustments to the stills to show the difference. Vimeo file. andrgl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shijan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Its interesting . The results are opposite to Zak Forsman's micro review. Did you try to shoot same in raw? Maybe its ProRes compression bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squig Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hey Lance, I think the extra noise is mostly due to the BMMCC ISOs being slightly darker (<1/3 of a stop) than the BMPCC as Zak mentioned. I'm not seeing much of a difference in noise looking at the wide shot of the room. Best to test raw because prores is gonna add some compression artifacts.

Seeing how it's not the same sensor as at BMPC4k I wonder if there's any dynamic range tests out there about it? it is the studio camera sensor we've seen before, which means it is intended for studio situations where you can heavily control the lighting to fit into the sensor's needs. If you want to make films with it, then probably will not be of interest to you like a BMMCC would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
