Coiii Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Being really honest... What is the market for this camera? I mean, if I have $10K to spend I would definitely put a little more and go for a Sony FX9 with that beautiful full frame/cinetone/AF or maybe for a C300MKIII for Canon colors plus that dual sensor image capture. Or an used Alexa Classic if you're making movies with a crew. At that price range I think that image quality is the best feature, and blackmagic is behind Canon and Sony at that price range. And that's not even mentioning the 12K... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to buy the camera myself, butI may suggest it to future productions that want to shoot 4K 9:16. You see, many people don't just choose one camera and shoot everything with it. Many people hire the right tool for the job when they need it. Yes, this camera is not for 98% of people here but that's ok. The Alexa mini is not for 98% of people here ....is that a waist of time camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many DP's out there who are starting to use FF cameras and really loving them. It needs to be a completely new design though. Better design than the P6K but not as big as the UMP. 3 minutes ago, Andrew Reid said: Talking about 98% of people here is an idea for Blackmagic. Full frame Pocket Cinema Pro 6K. Articulated screen.

A_Urquhart Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Something else worth mentioning, it would seem that BMD have made working with 12K easier than working with 8K from other manufacturers....even the same as working with 4K from others if what Grant said holds true. If you can record it easily, work with it easily ...then why not I suppose. You can always record 4K or 6K BRAW with no crop if you need. I'm the first to scoff at a resolution war because it usually comes at the expense of workflow but this seems different. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2020 I suppose if medium format cameras are nessessary for some commercial stills work, then medium format resolution is in demand for some clients in video and in cinema. So there is demand for it. Very top end, very niche, but it is there. I just think Blackmagic could do more in the mirrorless 4K/6K camera market than they have done.

That it can do 4k 6k 8k 12k Raw opens up all kinds of possibilities One thing it's what you prefer and other thing it's what's clients and market prefers. And that's where Canon and Sony are kings. That's why I asked for the market of this camera. DP/Owner: Sony and Canon are better for rental and are more demanded. Film/Media: FX9 and C300 are Netflix approved. Digital/Ads: Alexa/Sony/Canon colors are always preferred. Slow Motion: Rent a RED/Phantom. The $10-$15K market it's really hard to just try to entry with a resolution race where most professionals are comfortable shooting 2K/4K, prioritizing image quality against any resolution.

BMD have usually been quite open to allowing access to other NLE manufacturers their SDK's should they wish to implement them. We can only wait and see.

SteveV4D Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have no interest in 8K, let alone 12K. Still, if I was asked to shoot 8K, then this camera is probably the better alternative than struggling through the R5 overheating. Better frame rates as well makes it inheritantly more practical as well for a range of videos. Can't say I plan to pick up one unless all my Wedding couples suddenly get 8K TVs. But I'm still getting asked for DVDs, so I guess its not very likely. 😂😂 To be honest, I preferred the idea of a 6K fullframe Pocket upgrade, but I guess that's for another day. I'd be interested to see if the new colour science and BRAW improvements get passed down. Katrikura and majoraxis 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
