Dan Wake Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 1) BMPCC is newer than BMCC 2K, does it improve in some way right? 2) at low light RAW shooting (1080p) which is better? and which is the most usable ISO for professional use during night shots on both? 3) does BMPCC has image stabilization? 4) which is the crop factor in both cameras? 5) BMPCC is compatible with canon EF mounts and also with micro 4:3 lenses? I do not need adaptor rings? 6) does BMPCC and BMCC works with adaptor rings for old vintage lenses (example M42)? 7) does BMPCC and BMCC have cropmarks (like ML) or some solution to shoot 1:85:1 or 2:39:1? 8) does its take photos? 9) I have a canon 50mm 1.8, that would be my prime lens on APSC because it's cheap and has fast aperture: if I choose to buy a BMPCC which lens should I choose now? T.H.A.N.K.S. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisso Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think if you watched a few reviews on YouTube you'd have a better idea. Your questions are very wide ranging and often wide of the mark. But...... No, the pocket camera doesn't shoot stills. It is scheduled for raw, but presently doesn't shoot raw. It's a m4/3rds camera. So any other format lens needs an adapter. It doesn't have in camera stabilization, but you can use 4/3rds lenses with stabilization if the lens has an IS switch on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Read Andrew Reed's great reviews of both cameras and all your questions will be answered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/p/ Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'll answer the ones I can.. 1) BMPCC is newer than BMCC 2K, does it improve in some way right? They are different cameras.. They both have pros and cons, they can't improve on one another as they aren't in competition with each other.. I don't think BMD were like "Ok.. We've released the BMCC, how can we make the BMPCC better than it?" 2) at low light RAW shooting (1080p) which is better? and which is the most usable ISO for professional use during night shots on both? 3) does BMPCC has image stabilization? 4) which is the crop factor in both cameras? 5) BMPCC is compatible with canon EF mounts and also with micro 4:3 lenses? I do not need adaptor rings? BMPCC is not an EF mount.............. Therefore it is not compatible with EF lenses.. You can get adapters to get EF lenses to work on m4/3 bodies but all of them (the adapters themselves) will need some sort of power solution, which is why they have bulky power/control units attached to the adapters. Some adapters (EF > NEX) do not need the attached power solution for the adapters as they have electronics built in that let the camera power the lens via the adapter. Currently I don't know of ANY EF > m4/3 adapter like this on the market (I don't think there are any currently available) However Metabones is working on an EF > m4/3 solution for their Speed Booster adapter, it will either have a bulky power/control unit attached to it like the RRM and MTF Services adapters or it will be like the EF > NEX adapter which means it would only work on the BMPCC and not the BMCC as the BMCC has a "dumb" (no electronics) in the m4/3 mount (BMCC works with the other EF > m4/3 adapters with attached power/control units) 6) does BMPCC and BMCC works with adaptor rings for old vintage lenses (example M42)? Both can adapt ALMOST any lens via dumb adapters, Canon EF is the hardest/most annoying to adapt as explained above.. BMPCC could IN THE FUTURE have a slight advantage (since no EF > NEX like m4/3 adapter exists they are pretty much identical in terms of what's available) boh can use the power EF > m4/3 adapters. 7) does BMPCC and BMCC have cropmarks (like ML) or some solution to shoot 1:85:1 or 2:39:1? 8) does its take photos? 9) I have a canon 50mm 1.8, that would be my prime lens on APSC because it's cheap and has fast aperture: if I choose to buy a BMPCC which lens should I choose now? Not a Canon lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 can you answer just this question number 9 please? thx Some Micro 4/3 lens between 25-30mm would be the ideal replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
