I didn’t like those staged set tests from NAB earlier this year. I want to see it out in the wild, moving. Nope, my guess it will look something in between Terra 4K and GH5S, but better codecs then both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the last last stop on the graph is the one that you can barely see that is the end of being usable, the next one is in a sense is nearly invisible, so does not count . So noisy or not you could not see it anyways. Now I know you can't have crazy noise but real film was noisy as heck, 8mm was a good example. And people even add it, so noise is not the end of the world. I believe they add film grain, not noise. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just has higher framerate and OLPF, which is the only major difference. Color science and image will be different, obviously.

No it does not, Kinefinity has KineRaw which Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere not supports, you have to transcode before editing which is a slower workflow. As blackmagic is drag and drop :). The higher framerates and OLPF would be nice though but not needed for 90% of the things I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think it does up to 7:1 compression too which is BETTER than what the Blackmagic does. It does Kineraw too which is more options.

It was upgraded in firmware 6.0 beta. Only thing it cannot do is 4:4:4 which Kinefinity says is because of too much processing power required. So that's good reasoning as to why the new Pocket can't do it either. http://www.kinefinity.com/firmware_terra_kineos6p0/?lang=en Crazy thing is it's in the lower priced Terra 4K model, but not the more expensive Terra 6K model. That model was doomed to fail because of the horrible rolling shutter and not hardly any other benefits over the 4k model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Terra 6K is the older model, so at the time it was "the best" Kinefinity made, but they've moved on to the Terra 4K and now the Mavo series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pocket 4K solution of all in one is better for the type of camera that it is. Mavo 6K and LF look much better. zerocool22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the screen of the 5D III is a tad too small to make critical checks(never got it working properlly with a external monitor, which also defeats having a dslr type body). The pocket 4K will def replace my 5D III for video purposes. Speaking of BM 4K BMPCC screens. There is this photo I found. It doesn't look too big in this shot. That guy is not that big either. But we are not going to be able to stick one in our pocket that is for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a play with this camera at NAB, the screen is a reasonable size, though not as high a quality as you would find on a high-end smartphone. It will do for the purpose. I wish it was a "flippy" screen though. When is the footage coming? That's the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the screen on it is a pretty big improvement over the 5" with 800 x 480 resolution BMCC screen. It is 5” with 1920 x 1080. No clue what the pixel count is though. Yeah would be nice to see some footage. On paper though they have say 2 1/2 months, or a bit more to meet the September shipping timeline.

B&H reckon they'll be shipping on September 3rd. That's 5 weeks from now. That's not very far away at all. I would have thought with so little time between now and delivery, BM would know by now if they're going to meet the target date or not. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they already have warehouses in a few countries full of packed up cameras ready to ship out. Then again, I have no idea of the manufacturing and shipping industries... maybe they'll make and pack them all on the 2nd for next day global delivery. ?

Years ago we added noise to cover up poor resolution. It was a TV trick for years for early ENG cameras.. I've seen people add noise in preparation of harsh compression to prevent banding and other compression artefacts, especially for online compression. It's a common technique - they add noise in audio under very specific situations because it can lower artefacts (dither). 6 hours ago, webrunner5 said: Speaking of BM 4K BMPCC screens.

There's talk in other threads about just using a small kit lens or a single wide angle, so if you do that and have cargo pants or one of those vests that can take a 70-200 2.8 then it might be just fine! ?
