mtheory Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ever since the BM4K release I wanted to wait till the RAW update to make up my mind about the camera, and today I finally got a chance to grade the compressed DNG files. Wow, was I disappointed. There is significantly less exposure range in these files than in either Kineraw or 5DRaw, and much more noise. In my personal view, the current king of affordable RAW is Kinemini4K. My hat's off to these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrgl Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 KineMini 4K costs $5,582.42 USD. BMPC4K costs $2,995.00 USD. The difference is ~ $2,580. Meaning, for an extra ~ $400, you could buy 2 BMPC4Ks. As for quality. The Kine's 13 stops should be better than the BM's 12 stops. The difference may be devastating, but without side-by-side frames, who's to say? If DR is key for a shoot, why settle on 13 stops? I'd rent a Red camera and shoot in HDR mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
