TwoScoops Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 If there's a still mode, hopefully it has a hotshoe for a flash trigger or they add it as an accessory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in short, a camera that is excellent when it is used as one third of a cine setup, but not a good standalone performer...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juxx989 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Man BM is killing it. I believe this my be the point where I dump everything for Them. I'm all about that post work flow just wonder if I should keep bmpcc for b cam. I'm drinking the kool aid for real. You think this will push used pocket cams 1.0 to $250 us? they would really have to fumble this in a Epic lengedary fashion for me not to have is before years out.(most likely a lot sooner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'e subforums 12 hours ago, kye said: There is logic to this as there is convenience in a manufacturer providing compatibility across their range of cameras. Not only does it mean that on set you can have the A-cam and B-cam (and C-cam?) arrangement sharing lenses etc, but it also means that when someone buys into a system at the lower end there's less friction for them to upgrade within the system. Sony supports this, from the a5100 to the VENICE. Meanwhile, Panasonic fvcked this up with their EVA1 not having a MFT option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots going on in this price-range (when you consider all the support equipment required they're up against lots of other -seemingly- more expensive setups). jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me BMPCC was/is the most beautiful (cinematic) learning tool above all specs/quirks. I just hope new one will somehow retain that special distinctive DNA profile... although perhaps it is more or and more hard to keep such position. salim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Is anyone talking about internal Prores Raw for this? At least in a future upgrade. That would be incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Daniel Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Wow at last! Didn’t buy the original but loved using it (due to the image). My wild prediction: - S16 sensor - Detachable 4” touch screen (fit it on the camera or off camera) - CFast slot and SD slot - 4K 60fps (at a stretch, I’m expecting at least one “wow” feature ) - Canon LP-E6 batteries - 13 stops DR - ProRes RAW in future firmware - Price $1295 I hope it will be like that..... please. They’ve had 5 years to make it. I hope it’s as charming as the original. tekeela and AaronChicago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The 5 things that would make the update WELL worth it. 4K Slow Mo Canon Batteries Full sized HDMI Flip out screen Oliver Daniel, Kisaha and graphicnatured 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera is most likely to have an SD card slot and require 300MB/s Sandisk cards for 4K raw recording, which have about 200MB/s (=1600Mbit/s) continuous write speed. That write speed is required for recording ProRes Raw at 4K/30fps (whose bitrate is up to 1400Mbits, according to Apple's White Paper). Flip-out screen would be unlikely, too, because screens have always been where BM cuts costs. But a robust HDMI port would partly make up for that.

cantsin Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Latest rumor/leak. If true, then this could indeed mean that the new Pocket will be sold with different sensor options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 it better not be more... especially if it's a 1" sensor. too many good large sensor hybrids in the sub $2K region atm. and with ProRes Raw probably appearing in future DSLR/MILCs, BM are going to have to be real innovative & agressive to turn heads imo.

JordanWright Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 price sounds good, I hope they don't have two average sensors instead of one really good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that this will happen. Otherwise we could have had conventional ProRes in DSLRs/mirrorless cameras which didn't happen either. So far, ProRes has exclusively lived in the world of postproduction, external recorders and small/niche camera makers. - But it could indeed happen that future DSLR/mirrorless cameras, including the upcoming Sony A7s III, will offer external ProRes Raw with Atomos recorders. The resulting package would be more cumbersome than an integrated camera like the Pocket, but beat it in image quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 @cantsin I think it's a possibility since ProRes Raw brings so much more to the table in post than just ProRes yet in a similar average size bitrate. It's like raw for stills is now almost default in every camera which wasn't the case a decade ago. But of course I'm saying this because of Atomos's advertising on the new recorder aiming it at DSLR/MILCs with ProRes Raw via HDMI. Wishful thinking maybe but i really hope the introduction of this new codec will be a game changer and that camera makers will run with it..
