BlackMagic have decided to release the details of the 6K version of their Pocket Cinema Camera.
I would wonder if all those who are still on the waiting list for a 4K Version to arrive will they be changing their orders.
There are some very nice tech advancements…
KEY FEATURES
- Active Canon EF Mount
- Super 35-Sized HDR Sensor
- Record 6K 6144 x 3456 up to 50 fps
- Dual Native 400 & 3200 ISO to 25,600
However I question this one and it’s target market. I would assume the quality is superb but with a tag of over $2500 (Irish price would be more I would say), this camera now falls into a very saturated price category.
Depending on the user and their requirements for filming, is there a need from clients for 6K (at this time)? Does the client have 6K playback to maximize the viewing experience of the package?
Also with other 4K cameras, including the previous pocket cam (pictured above next to the 6k) would this be the better buy? I do however like the idea of all the EF glass now compatible with the BlackMagic pocket though, (long over due).
Here is a breakdown from Newsshooter.com which gives all the details
