Paul Jonathan Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 @stephen how is your experience with latency? Any comparison to the AccSoon Cineye perhaps? I sent that one back because oftentimes I couldn't get a clean signal from it, but what I liked about it that it could be powered via USB-C.

stephen Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 220 ms latency, measured. It's there but can live with it. Don't have AccSoon Cineye, so can't compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanWright Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Improved start up time is very noticeable. My 4k goes from switch on - ready to record in about 2 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveV4D Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 This update news has made my day. Since the last update, the start up time has been worse. And I was wondering how I would cope when my main working season begins again come April, and I am not able to offload the files as quickly and empty the hard drive. It didn't take long for the number of files to really slow the start up. Can't wait to test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonprimo1 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hey I know this for the 4K camera but I wanted to post some 6k camera stuff and get your thoughts. First is a music video I shot last year I thought was ok and the 2nd video was a shoot I did with my DP and model and I really pushed it. It’s just a test currently my editor is editing it and I will get it colored. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/wUdkxEAJ8bU https://youtu.be/wp72zHZgInM JordanWright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that vigilant on staying up to date with the pk4. Hardly ever go to the bm website, not because they have jerked my chain or anything, but i just seem to lack the interest in general. In the comments on the details page when you go to get the update file i did however ask them to investigate a means of retrofitting a flippy screen to a p4k, i'd pay another $200 to have a flippy screen as then, for me the p4k would be killer. How far that request makes it up the chain of command is anyone's guess. by the way i notice a certain loss of enthusiasm down here in the p4k thread. Has the reign of the mighty p4k thread come to an end ? 😎 Do we now all migrate down to the eos r5 thread and worship there for awhile or is there life after p4k ?😉 Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had of been a bloke standing there behind the camera i would have come up with another comment regardless. If you want to see sexism at work i suggest you go immerse yourself, in the girls on film thread. Now there a chance to have a real argument against sexism. mercer and Jonesy Jones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it is best way of usage and really motive of interest for camera - is, at seems, matter of preference. Those who mostly enjoy in comparison and debating about specs and values, simply and inevitable eventually migrate to new theme for their main interest.

thebrothersthre3 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think the hype has died down but its a hugely popular camera. I see it being used a lot and I know a lot of people who are planning on purchasing it. I usually tell them its a good choice. I personally am thinking about getting one as well. The Pocket 6k had my attention but now that I think about it the Pocket 4k is probably a better option. Longer battery life, larger FOV with a speedbooster(1.34/1.24 crop depending on speedbooster, compared to 1.6), being able to mount a speedbooster also means a stop more light making it superior in low light, 4k RAW without crop(6k is not always wanted). I am thinking about an S1 or S1H as well but the Pocket is such a good deal at $1000 used. The internal RAW and beautifully easy menu system on Blackmagic is hard to beat.

MeanRevert Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Yeah, since the 6K came out, you can get great deals on the P4K. Been very happy with mine although thinking hard about the 6K just because the anamorphic resolution is a lot better there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been scouring the whole internet for a deal, cause it's either that, a used X-T3, an RP, or the E2C. I can't even really find a worthwhile price used, except for a dude who was selling one with a cracked screen he later sold for $500.

leslie Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 when i need a giggle i visit ebay and type in blackmagic p4k, there several priced at about double what you could buy one for at retail in aussie dollars. i think the correct term is scalping, but surely any one with half a brain would by from a retailer but maybe not 🙄 None advertised on ebay are better than retail price, you may as well by new and get the full warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't come up used that often but can definitely be had for around $1000 without Davinci. XT3's come up a lot at 1k or even a bit less. Check DVXuser and ebay a lot.
