Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (CINECAMPOCHDMFT4K)

I am using this camera mostly on the tripod sinc with out stabilizer it is almost impossible to take footage of anything. So if you plan to buy it buy a gimbal and tripod right away.Video quality is brutal, it exceed my expectation. Also you get a davinci where you can further colorgrade and get a perfect footage.Pros:- video quality- funcionality- codecs and file size- compactCons:- battery life ( battery is more of an emergency thing rather than a main source of power. So look for better source of power right away)- none existent image stabilization (but for the price point it's fine)- huge crop factor when recording in 1080pAll in all worth every penny.Update, 3 years later still my favorite camera.

The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is an absolute powerhouse for filmmakers and video enthusiasts alike. Its compact size belies its incredible capabilities, offering stunning 4K video recording with exceptional dynamic range and color accuracy. The camera's versatility allows me to capture cinematic footage in various lighting conditions, thanks to its dual native ISO and impressive low-light performance.

I called support when I needed to update the software to the latest version and I was able to get somebody on the phone within around 5 minutes to confirm with me the latest software versions available for my camera. Additionally, the interface is extremely easy to operate and the buttons make working this camera easy. I’m extremely happy with this purchase! I was comparing this to some options that had auto focus, but if I was operating on a budget, I wouldn’t have chosen this camera, I have equipped it with the number of accessories, one of which includes the PD movie lidar system to solve the auto focus hurdle. Well, most people use his camera will shoot in RAW or “film” I do like the color grading that comes out of the “video” mode. I mostly work with small businesses for creating high volume content. if you’re considering purchasing this camera, I highly recommend that you do so just make sure that you plan on buying some accessories in addition to the camera, my total build cost to get this camera to where I wanted it is closer to $3.5k - If you’re working on a tighter budget, and you’re not too terribly worried about speed, and you’re OK with putting in a lot of learning and manual labor into working your camera I would say this is a good purchase. However, if you are somebody like me but you don’t have four grand to spare then I would actually recommend that you go with something else more point and shoot capable.

This is one of the most hyped and reviewed cameras around. Not much I can really add other than it's still an amazing choice in 2020. Sure, there are 6k+ options, but as it is 4k is a bit overkill honestly and is not going to be obsolete any time soon.Just a reminder, this is a cinema camera so no continuous auto focus and no in body stabilization. Also, no flip screen and the battery is horrendous, maybe 30 minutes of max. I live in a really sunny area so maybe this won't be an issue in other places, but the screen is also not viewable outdoors on a sunny day. If i had to guess, it must be like 250 nits or less.Just make sure you are getting this because it is what you need and not because of the hype. This will be great for documentaries, narrative work, interviews, etc. It will also work fine for music videos, weddings, etc, but if that is what you will use it for 100% of the time then maybe there are better options. It is also definitely not the choice for vlogging, that is just a bad idea. I use it for multiple uses so while it may not be the best for some, I can't afford multiple camera systems, so it works well for me.

This was such a flash deal! I got it just two days after buying it; it was used but with DaVinci License and everything! I had a problem with FedEx and these guys (the seller) were on top of it and help me get my package soon, very helpful and reliable store. Package looked nice and it came with everything said on the description, I couldn't find any sign of damage in the camera itself so it feels like new as they say.

I'm familiar with the 4k and it's a great camera and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a professional video camera. I purchased a used 4k from seller 6Ave. The camera came in stellar condition despite the modest score provided by the seller. I'm more than pleased with my purchase and would recommend purchasing from 6Ave as well.
