There's just something so special about Blackmagic's image for me. No matter how much footage of other cameras I see, nothing ever beats it in my eyes. I don't know exactly what it is, it just looks so natural, almost "filmic". It doesn't have that overly-digital appearance to it. That may sound crazy to some people, but that's the best I can explain it. LMAO

i dont use any of these cameras, but watching the video i preferred the lumix in day time, till it got low light and i preferred the Cinema 6k first due to the dynamic range and overall pop, and komodo second and lumix third. overall i would say i was impressed by the lumix. as a canon r6ii user. good video, keep it up.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't own any of these brands. I currently own a Fuji. But from your sample footage, I'm liking the colors coming out of the 6k. However, if I were to consider purchasing one of these, I'd most likely go with the S5 II for being a great hybrid camera. Especially given its ability to save LUTs in camera which can be used for both photo and video. Great informative and entertaining content, mate!

I could see which image was the Lumix, and I prefered that and the Blackmagic images over The Komodo, surprisingly enough. I could see The Blackmagic was giving more latitude which would be a joy for a colour grader, but that said, I think if I were to go for the S5ii X and then find myself in a position where I wanted to shoot BRAW with it, then either rent, borrow, or purchase a Ninja at that point, and at other times enjoy the quality and convenience of what that camera can do internally. At least, that's how I'm leaning at the moment. Who knows if NAB will throw some googlies against that mindset. There is the advantage of Blackmagic cameras coming with the studio version of Davinci.

The cinema 6k is a very useful camera! I miss the NDs and Pro Res, but there's a lot to like and a lot of flexibility! And image wise it actually matches with the 6k and 6k pro perfectly (it's just a wider field of view). Good video!

what do you think about s5 raw compare to bm6K raw?

@thatcameranerd Ай бұрын

I like ProRes raw if your using the ninja with the S5II. For me it comes down to your edit platform. If you use premiere you only get a couple of raw settings with ProRes raw compared to Final Cut where you get a lot more settings with the raw clips and also it’s not compatible with davinci. If you use the video assist for blackmagic then you will get a lot more settings in premiere and in davinci. I think for my workflow blackmagic raw is a better option just because I grade in davinci but I have used ProRes raw and the footage looks great

shooting 10 bit log file is more than enough data for almost all user cases. you have a lot of latitude thanks to the low contrast picture, you can get your final colors in post. who sets the camera in 5600k when shooting tungsten internal? I think this trend for a need of raw recording is kind of absurd. for this little bit of extra sharpness and color flexibility you are getting crazy big files. no problem If you are shooting a narrative with all the support needed. but in most cases its just flexing with the camera toys. did someone miss raw when shooting with an Alexa on logC? that said, picture out of the Lumix S5 looks great!

All these comparisons don't know how to grade Komodo footage. It's crazy. Why do a Komodo when you bring down the look to match inferior cameras. Push the levels correctly and up the saturation and you'll see what these 3 cameras will do. Meaning grade the Komodo to look the best it can and see if the other can keep up. Just dropping a LUT is not the way to grade footage, any footage. Thanks for the review.
