Oliver Daniel Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Looks like a direct response to the rapid development of the Z cam cameras. Shame they couldn’t get to 4K 100/120fps. But RAW 6k 60fps for that price is hard to sniff at. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't know if it is an urban legend but I have heard BM have a lot of quality control and reliability issues, so I have to say the Sigma fp looks more interesting to me. It will be interesting to see the price compared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCV Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Any Idea if the P6K is the same beautiful but a bigger sensor as the P4K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abehalpert Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Actually looks like the 6k version has a tad less DR in 3200 mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cls105 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 BM is using an HDR sensor but doesn’t actually have an HDR mode correct? They’re only using its dual iso capabilities if I’m correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely that most S1H buyers would take this instead. The S1H is a hybrid, the BM camera is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

currensheldon Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Black Magic is doing so awesome things and I do love BM Raw. I find the EF mount disappointing and would have much preferred the RF Mount or L-Mount (if they even have access to those). Though, outside of BM Raw and a bit cheaper of price, there isn't much here that would tempt me over the S1H (which may have some form of raw). S1H will have a flip out screen, should have IBIS, wayyy better battery life, has the dual XLR adapter, better form factor, way better stills camera, better autofocus (assuming the Pocket 6K is a single point, single shot AF), easier to use on gimbal, more lenses available via adapters, full-frame sensor, probably better low light if the S1 is anything to go by, more dynamic range, and a couple of other advantages I'm sure I'm missing. Yes, you can save $1000+ by getting a Pocket 6K, but I think all of the above specifications are worth that and more. Black Magic should have used all of that EF-Mount real estate for an electronic ND filter - that would be game-changing. Still, Black Magic is doing an awesome job releasing some really cool cameras with a gorgeous image and really pushing raw - which is great.

The reason why 1080p is not windowed on the P6K is because it only records that mode in ProRes (along with both 4K flavours as well) therefore it captures the full sensor and then downscales it whereas the P4K can do both, BRAW windowed or ProRes downscaled.
