And it comes bundled with a full version of DaVinci Resolve software – a fully-featured editing, colour grading, audio and VFX software package that usually cost £275/ $299, making the actual cost of the camera ridiculously low. It’s on sale at just £1055/$1295, which puts it in a league of its own. Nothing else on the market comes close to that spec.īest of all is the price. There are also built-in LUTs, or you can upload your own. And there is a full-size HDMI socket, a mini-XLR input with phantom power for pro-style mics, and an internal stereo mic that is genuinely useful thanks to decent preamps.īut the unique selling point is that it can record up to DCI 4K at rates of up to 60fps in a variety of codecs, including different quality levels of CinemaDNG Raw and ProRes 422 to a CFast 2.0 or SD card.
There’s a dual-native ISO for great low-light capture, and a claimed 13 stops of dynamic range to provide detailed HDR images. Features include a huge five-inch screen that means you can largely do away with an external monitor, and a USB-C output so you can record up to 12-bit to inexpensive external SSD drives. In comparison, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K really is designed solely for filmmaking, with specs that leave other wannabes lagging far behind. There are still the handling quirks and often handicapped specs, in order to avoid cannibalising sales of their more expensive video cameras. Taking a camera clearly designed for stills and adding more features for movies doesn’t make the camera ideal for filming. While other companies might say they make a filmmaker-specific version of their mirrorless cameras, the reality is that they are largely just playing at it. Finally a mirrorless camera that really is designed for making movies above all else.
