About this deal

At the base is a slightly flimsy battery door which is removable so the potential for third party battery grips is a reality, while to the left you’ve got a dual card slot which feels a bit more sturdy. The camera takes SD and CFast cards, with the CFast cards required for the highest quality raw 4K video. The 82mm lens cap easily snaps on to protect your camera’s lens from scratches, dust, moisture, and fingerprints when the camera isnot inuse.

A closer look at the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

I’m curious about your opinion on the xt3, as I recently read about it and thought it seemed really appealing on paper. What didn’t you like about it? I totally get what you say about how the “feeling” you get with a product and the results can be different than what pure specs would imply. Power: Removable, rechargeable Lithium Ion battery for EN-EL20, 12V-20V DC port for external power and battery charging

It’s a great camera in 2020. You don’t need 4k (cinema theaters get max. 2k, most 1080p) – if someone asks for it – upscale it – no one will notice after tiny tweaks (it records everything – there is plenty of detail to play with – it’s not dslr/phone etc. with its sharpening like crazy mode always on). It really feels like there is a demand out there, and if any camera manufacturers are reading this – I would urge you to consider the possibility. The result is what you’d think, complete with 8 bit artifacting, banding etc, but it told the story. Would love to know what a pro like yourself thinks if you get a chance to watch it! https://youtu.be/SBwje8EDl84 Reply Good message especially when I find myself on the verge of purchasing a 8k large format camera 🎥! You did forget to mention possibly the greatest yet strangest super 16 digital cinema camera the Ikonoskop A-Cam which I once had but sold for more supported options. Reply

As we set up each shot, we were floored by how much better of an experience it was just by having a few more tools at our disposal. The larger field monitor made framing and focusing much easier, as did the adjustable mount that allowed us to set the monitor at any angle. The variable ND filters together with the zebra stripes made adjusting exposure a snap and the zoom lens allowed us greater flexibility in tripod placement and framing. A task which was daunting only a few days earlier, had now become fun and exciting! What’s also interesting is that the manual electronic focus on MFT lenses requires a very long turn of the focus ring by contrast to, for example, the GH5. It can feel inconsistent and potentially hamper you from getting that pan-focus you want, especially if you’re winging it without any supporting accessories. What’s missing? We tried shooting RAW and the range of detail we could pull out was even better than ProRes, but the file sizes and additions to processing time meant for our needs, it wasn’t worth it despite the tangible benefits. If a current digital 16mm camera existed, I’d be first in line to buy one. But until that happens, I’ll happily continue to utilize the tool I already own and know can deliver the results I need. My good old BMPCC! We found when we relied on the display exclusively when setting exposure, we had a tendency to overexpose slightly, so if you’re anything like us, underexposing by half a stop should save your highlights.I was shooting Fomapan R100, having it processed, and self scanning with a diy setup using a Nikon D5200. The 77mm lens cap easily snaps on to protect your camera’s lens from scratches, dust, moisture, and fingerprints when the camera isnot inuse. After testing it for over a week for location based shoots and a studio based commercial, does the reality live up to the hype?

I´m using a Viltrox Focal Reducer and EF-Lenses most of the time, it creates really nice colors and very organic motion, even though it is “only” 1080p (that you can transform in resolve via superscale and achieve some nice results). Unfortunately it doesn´t have the 3:1 Raw that the Micro Cinema Camera has and it is missing that 60p capability. But I will keep on using this camera, no doubt about that. After grading the CDNG´s I usually add some Grain in Resove and that´s it. If you need this 16mm- or vintage-film-Look, you´ll probably be much happier than if you´re using newer kinds of cameras. ReplyInput/Output: 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo audio input; Micro HDMI Type D Output; 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo headphone output; 2.5mm LANC for remote Rec Start/Stop, Iris Control and Focus Control: USB 2.0 Mini-B port for software updates and configuration Finally, and most importantly, the fundamental quality of its 4K video takes on much pricier cameras and, when you know how to work it, handles noise better than some full frame sensors too, thanks to its the dual native ISOs. Have you seen the Ikonoskop A-cam DII ? That is what you are looking for. With a global shutter too.

I can’t help but wonder how many other filmmakers are longing for a current, affordable, native Super 16mm digital film camera. Maybe I’m alone on this one… But I certainly hope not. Also, Angelbird makes cards for BMPCC OG and Micro they guarantee will work. Not cheap, but work great. Reply Currently, I have a feature film in development that I aim to shoot on Super 16mm motion picture film. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but haven’t really been able to pull the trigger until now.I know what you feel. I’ve owned original BMCC and Micro Camera. Micro was one of my favourite cameras ever. The picture was nice and organic. You could use it super16 and/or add speedbooster for almost super35 look. The noise was there but it was organic and kinda nice. It was small and it had 1080 60p. I wish BM could just release the micro cinema camera with stabilization and build in flip out touch screen and Sony L batteries. I sold it some time ago, but this is the one I miss 🙂 Sometimes the best camera for the job is the one you already own… Even if it’s 6 years old, only shoots 1080p and has since been replaced by newer iterations. So as of right now in 2020, there are no new cinema cameras being manufactured that have native 16mm sensors. And that is really a shame! We know, we know, when you’re shooting video, a true professional never uses continuous autofocus. But, we’re not true professional videographers, we’re video journalists and on some occasions, needs must.
