What makes us happy is the breathtaking image quality coming out of a sub-3K dollar camera. All cameras could always be better but the only cameras that I have used that beat these gems in what really matters are 40 times more expensive. The rest is fluff. If you want modularity and flexibility for ND, large capacity batteries, etc, your not so worried about size and weight much so get an Ursa mini.

I don't understand the gripe. But first of all, Blackmagic has said all that already. One thing I respect about them is their transparency. If people are complaining of a FULL FRAME sensor with quality images, they could just get a Sigma FP or if you have the money, than just a RED or FX3. This is a legit CINEMA CAMERA at $2600. That is insane! And the color science and the downloadable full feature of Da Vinci Resolve in the box as well. Since the beginning of cameras, the operators are always adding things to make it work for themselves.Even since the 20's. There is literally no areas to complain. ND Filters??? LOL, go buy some, like every other camera, or just get the Black Magic 6k Pro if that's the one thing you want. Personally, I like to customize my cameras. In body features are always questionable. Batteries? LOL, this is just reaching. Buy a V Mount Battery like what everyone has done. NO camera will make wonders for you. Its your ingenuity. Canon, Sony, RED, Arri, NONE of them have amazing batteries. -_- They are basically saying, if you want FULL FRAME, here you go. If you don't want it, get the 6K pro or 6k G2 within that price range. Again $2600! That is INSANE! They easily could have raised the prices, like every other freaking company, but they didn't. If you buy a Sony A7S3, that thing is still like, $5,000-$4000+ This is literally a STEAL, as all anyone wants is QUALITY images. CFexpress? lol, who the hell records in them when everyone basically uses Samsung T7 cards to connect witth 1-4 TB. This camera is a gateway for affordable filmmaking for indie filmmakers. We thank you Blackmagic! Now, they just need to collab with DJI and make this camera available and get it into a drone!

If this camera has a usable 13 stops of dynamic range in comparison to the many exaggerated DR claims by other manufacturers it would a very good specification. After grading the test clips available on the BM website and from what I've seen posted on KZfaq this camera may have equal or better DR than any mirrorless under 5K. The highlight rolloff, low noise and excellent colour science represents amazing value for 2.6K. So many people being negative about this camera without having used it.

I'm confused, why you, and everybody comparing the (6k Cinema FF) to the (6k PRO), this is NOT a upgrade or replacement for the 6k Pro - This is a new tool, a full frame camera meant for the reason that people want a full frame sensor, open gate, field of view etc. If everyone would just be patient, the new 6K Pockets (or maybe 8k) will be announced soon - it is an entirely new camera body design, they said this months ago. They are making the Pocket line more in the form factor of the FX30. So - this camera should only be looked at as a new tool, for a new budget line of cinema camera options from Blackmagic.

Ive just found your channel now. And I absolutely LOVE your intro, your editing, the way you articulate your points! I think you're a very underrated youtube creator, and definitely deserve a bigger audience!! Keep pumping out these amazing videos!!! great work!

I have no clue about any of this stuff so im finding videos to learn but i jus wanna say i love how you broke everything down you have amazing content u got yourself a new sub

$2600 for this full frame camera and the image quality with a beautiful monitor I’ll take it.

Why is 1920 x 1080 @120 FPS poor? Because of the 2.8k with the pockets? It's a great idea to do it with HD Format because you need less data size and you can increase the resolution in DVR Studio till 4k in post without loss of quality. I am quite sure they decided to do this step because it is not necessary anymore in times of AI in post production.

I have a question with the regular blckmagic 6k g2 …. Im lookin for a no. Expensive way to get a lens. Do i need a lens mount to use my old Lumix or canon lens ? Ifso what kind of mount i just got it for $1600 and i cant afford a $500-1000 lens right now any cheap recommendations?

Do EF-S lens work on blackmagic G2 ? Or only EF LENS

Love your presentation. Informative, simple and effective

Your opinions on BMD’s new FF camera should be fairly uncontroversial, but it seems a few have taken offense to your comments. Some people are high-affiliators and take any perceived disapproval of their affiliation choices personally. Just keeping doing what you’re doing. You are a singular voice in a KZfaq space filled with “me-toos.”

This cam is good for me. Don’t have the money for the highest end stuff. I have a Panasonic S1 to pair

WOW. Awesome video. I am glad I came across your channel. I know it takes time, but I appreciate your graphics and sound. Keep up the great work.

We have to wait for a new camera. This is a sample sensor. Then there will be more complete cameras. Such a sensor cannot have 13 stops. This means they will soon show a camera with this sensor and more advanced recording modes including a dynamic range of 15 stops.

Hi! When do you think they'll announce a new camera in the Pocket lineup?

I am not a fan of Blackmagic but Sony claims 15stops of dynamic range on A7S3 with internal recording, that means.. with all the internal noise compression you get 14.7 stops(CINE D testing) at SNR=0 but BMPCC 6k gets15.7 stops dynamic range at SNR 0(Check CineD) . BMPCC gets claims 11.8 points at SNR =2 & A7SIII gets 12.4(consider the internal noise compression) dynamic range and internal raw is what makes this a unique camera. Considering fullframe & revamped sensor, this sensor might have better dynamic range than BMPCC6k pro, waiting for CINED to test the dynamic range!! Note: Internal noise compression removes the noise and this yields to better dynamic range, if we process Braw with noise reduction in Davinci, Braw might get the same dynamic range as A7SIII

Happy upcoming weekend Ruben 😃 Cool video as always 😎 I'm don't know anything about cameras but I always learn something new from your awesome channel. 225th liked 👍 Have a wonderful safe weekend my friend 😎👍

Thats pretty much all the reasons why I switched to Sony ZVE1 :) IBIS, battery, dynamic range, AF, weight, price, FE mount...

Consumerism is the fuel that camera (and any other type of) companies need to keep the pedal at full throttle, in order to give you more GAS. So, of course the 'Pro' version will come, and then the 'Ultimate' version will follow....and so on, and on, and on. When we stop giving fuel, we might just get what we really want, and how we want it.

Always a pleasure watching yoir videos and about to buy the battery you recommend for my 6k pro. I will wait until BM addresses form factor, AF and battery life.before I ever buy another BM camera. Designwise, just copy the Canon C70 and put a 4 inch flip out screen on thre back.

Not happy at all with this release. I was hoping they would relegate the Ursa line to the broadcast side and build a new camera that bridged the gap between the Pocket Cinema Camera and Ursa, not repackage the PCC yet again.

It is not a hybrid camera. It is a cinema camera. Power, matte box, filters, storage, audio, are always add-ons with cinema cameras. If you want some other features try the Pocket cameras, or another brand.

Wow, thanks for sharing this! Sorry but Is this a good place to ask a question?

Great video as ever, Master Ruben! I've been dreaming about the 6K Pro... Maybe I want the old one? Confused... ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘

Great video. Honest take. Looking forward to trying it out soon because, as you said, life is too short.

CF express card will be more like 500-1000 dollars/euros for one of sufficient capacity and reliability.

Well done

This is a phenomianl camera but the fact is... I just dont need one as I own the 6K Pro and love it. As the prices for used 6K Pro's start to come down some, I'm going to grab another one to put on my gimbal. Great video as always brother!!

Do you use blackmagic branded bats? I get about an hour on my 6k pro if im not using 12 volt and 2 hours 50 mins witht the grip. 15 mins sounds like a dead battery or bad third party one.

Lol I like the disappearing glasses

This sensor is likely the same 24mp sensor that is in the Lumix S5-II, S5-IIX and possibly the next S1H-II. (Sony IMX-410-style family of sensors) I'm guessing that L-Mount Alliance has as a group has purchased a high number of them from Sony in order to drop the unit cost. This could also apply to the new Alliance L2 image processor chip. (cost is split with every company in the alliance) Now that BlackMagic is part of the Alliance, I would not be surprised if the frame rate limitations were NEGOTIATED with Leica, Panasonic and Sigma. Remember,...they work TOGETHER to make products that share technology and avoid stepping on each other's toes. Blackmagic was given the L Mount and BlackMagic prolly will donate BRAW to the Alliance in return. Eveybody "gives" and everybody "gets". By the way,..this same (likely) sensor in the S5-IIX has SUPERB "lab-tested" dynamic range...do NOT worry about that one bit.

Excellent and on point (as allways). As a 6k pro user i nearly hitted the order button but then, after the announcement my brain starts thinking about battery life, form factor, no nd filter, larger data, L-Mount (i have no L-mount lenses) and this and that. So is my decision: i still going on with my 6k pro, who’s still a fantastic camera, and i have ordered the new Nikon ZF for my private pleasure.

I'll stick with my new Sony. I did need a new tripod to use it LOL

Just clever. Just right. I’ll go for 6Kpro 100%

Excellent and insightful 😊✨

Great video.... #Cooking I'm pretty sure they will release another camera within 5 months & most people will dislike it too. BMD does not care about what anyone thinks. SMH

If a beginning filmmaker asked me whether they should buy the CC 6k as their first camera, I would say, “no.” But as a compliment to my existing Blackmagic system, I’m very positive about the sensor and capabilities. I have also accumulated the add ons you describe for use with other equipment, so none of that’s an issue. The body style? Not my favorite except for the 5” screen. Battery? Well that’s nothing new. You have enough internal power to finish a take if the primary battery craps out. But any other system I would rig these days will have some kind of v-mount attached to power follow focus and the like, so it’s not great, but then again it’s fine. And I love the idea I can stop spooling footage to an SSD. I also love the idea that I can hook up my cellphone and have all the proxies transferred to a cloud project without having to buy an external transfer system. That I am sure will come in handy.

The pro version will be coming soon and it might have everything we want , you never know

As a low budget filmmaker, who once owned the BMPCC4K, I appreciate that BM has produced quality cameras at competitive prices. But, I think there should come a time when BM offers a cube shaped camera - hopefully with a v-mount on the back - as one of their designs. I'm filming with the Sony FX30 at the moment, and I am very impressed with it. But, I do miss working with BRAW. If Blackmagic can come up with a camera that is more cinema based, then I would be willing to spend more if that's what it takes. Thanks for your well rounded review of the BMCC6K.

I'd like believe a new pocket sized, sony fx 3 like camera is in the pipeline from BMD. I hope it comes with all the specs which didn't make it to the new BlackmMagic 6K FF sooner than later🤞

Good points

Hmm... I feel there's a great deal of assumption there. You're taking the possible needs of a group of users (probably based on your use of the camera) and making them a general rule. Do you need CF Express cards? Do you have any idea how much people use external SSDs with the BMPCCs? Not only it's more affordable even compared both to CF express and the previous CF cards, but then you don't have to spend a dime. Do you need a pro mist? Why exactly? Basically, if a person already uses a screw-on pro mist, they will continue to be able to so, but, ok, without the internal NDs.. But what if the person already has a screw-on ND?. Or what if the person uses a matte box? Then they probably have a square pro mist and maybe even NDs. You're also taking as a premise that a person who's upgrading from the BMPCC 6K has started from scratch with that camera and on has the strict necessary gear to make it work. Although this can be the case for many, it's a far fetched assumption that it's the case for EVERY user. It's not. Especially for those who had other BM cameras before upgrading to the PRO, or those upgrading from the original 6K or the 4k. Basically, every user will be well aware or their own needs and can prioritise this or that if they decide to upgrade. I\m not even going to comment on lenses, because if someone is buying a FF camera, either they use FF lenses or they are choosing to upgrade, otherwise they won't even consider a FF camera. I think that BM is being transparent there.

Hey Ruben! Great episode.

I don't shoot for netflix every day but i do a substantial amount of video work in a given year and I had to google L-mount. Saw the promo stuff and heard their reasoning but I don't get it. What gives with the L-mount? And we lose the ND for it. So, its a one-man-band style body with no internal nd, one card slot (proxy), so-so battery life and a full-frame sensor. There goals seem so diffuse. So many cameras that are basically the same, pity they can't take a leaf from sony and have a clear cut line of cameras with trade-offs based on needs. the trade offs in bms seem to be based on design limitations and shoulder shrugging and then the price is just arbitrary. low but arbitrary. just stick with the 4k pocket and get the battery grip and the focal reducer, save yourself a lot of money and it'll do the same job

I wish this would have been an E-mount. There are few L mount lenses compared to e-mount out there.

100% agree with you! I've been with BMDsince the pocket OG. Had the 4k and now 6k Pro and the new 6k Full frame is a big disappointment for me. I was waiting for a new box style or at least a re-designed body with a better battery performance, but nothing like we've expected. I don't know what BMD plan for the future, but it's been nearly 6 years since the same body design and no upgrades and for my need I am close to leave Blackmagic for either Z-Cam or Sony.I wish they would release a new box-style/redesign pocket with a better battery performance since I really like the UI and their color science. I don't mind the 8-12k resolutions, for me what's important is the ergonomics of the camera.

You are such a wise guy with a wonderful humorous undertone ... very entertaining besides your brief and substantial. information. And you accent is also fine hilarious 😘

Maybe they can make a pro version: Higher dynamic range, 2 card slot, ibis and continuous auto focus for $3k

Can't wait for Black Magic to release a full frame sensor in a cube in 2024 or 2025, and watch everyone slag it off and nitpick it to death for not having whatever is being hyped in 2024 or 2025 by youtubers

Continuity...

$2,600 USD. What that camera offer for the price is just mind-blowing, want more fps for that quality of image? Get a RED or ARRI. Find us another camera that offer that kind of image quality for that price range. You "cons" are invalid and shows your lack of understanding in the area.

All the same information again and again. Like to see some one marking a video with hands-on experience. See how good actually is the dynamic range of this new sensor.

This IS NOT a "professional Cinema Camera" people! Sorry, not even in the same ball bark. The whole "6k" resolution thing is ridiculous and nothing more than a marketing thing. but I can "Re-Frame" in post! - give me a break... learn how to shoot. Remember, Huge budget movies like Captain America, the first couple Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Game of Thrones were all shot in 2k ARRI ProRes4444 not to mention 95% of all content is streamed in 1920x1080 HD or less.

you look like an Expert, but are you?

It's hard to focus on the pros when you have such a big con. For years every user has been praying for a compact shape camera and they didn't listen. It's a huge disappointment, and the reason I'm not buying it.

Anything more expensive than 1500 euros I will not buy.

I have the solution to all your problems…buy SONY. And what’s this silly thing with you cutting to a side view with your glasses suddenly on… So amateurish.

The new blackmagic is honestly a huge disappointment in my book other than being full frame and a new mount nothing was really significantly improved no ibis, still no auto focus honestly why not buy an a74 for the same money? Wasn't impressed blackmagic

Yes, the body format is awesome! Everybody "LOVES" it ,, the cubic cameras. are, let's say too sqared and old fashion hahahah Honestly it sounds like a "cheap" version of the Lumix S5II X Great video, brother!

My 10 years old Arri Alexa does 16 stop dinamic range with a true 16 bit color sensor!
