Worth every penny
I am using this camera mostly on the tripod sinc with out stabilizer it is almost impossible to take footage of anything. So if you plan to buy it buy a gimbal and tripod right away.Video quality is brutal, it exceed my expectation. Also you get a davinci where you can further colorgrade and get a perfect footage.Pros:- video quality- funcionality- codecs and file size- compactCons:- battery life ( battery is more of an emergency thing rather than a main source of power. So look for better source of power right away)- none existent image stabilization (but for the price point it’s fine)- huge crop factor when recording in 1080pAll in all worth every penny.Update, 3 years later still my favorite camera.

Its compact size belies its incredible capabilities, offering stunning 4K video recording with exceptional dynamic range and color accuracy.

Great support and value for the money
I called support when I needed to update the software to the latest version and I was able to get somebody on the phone within around 5 minutes to confirm with me the latest software versions available for my camera. Additionally, the interface is extremely easy to operate and the buttons make working this camera easy. I’m extremely happy with this purchase! I was comparing this to some options that had auto focus, but if I was operating on a budget, I wouldn’t have chosen this camera, I have equipped it with the number of accessories, one of which includes the PD movie lidar system to solve the auto focus hurdle. Well, most people use his camera will shoot in RAW or “film” I do like the color grading that comes out of the “video” mode. I mostly work with small businesses for creating high volume content. if you’re considering purchasing this camera, I highly recommend that you do so just make sure that you plan on buying some accessories in addition to the camera, my total build cost to get this camera to where I wanted it is closer to $3.5k – If you’re working on a tighter budget, and you’re not too terribly worried about speed, and you’re OK with putting in a lot of learning and manual labor into working your camera I would say this is a good purchase. However, if you are somebody like me but you don’t have four grand to spare then I would actually recommend that you go with something else more point and shoot capable.

Amazing Camera
This is one of the most hyped and reviewed cameras around. Not much I can really add other than it’s still an amazing choice in 2020. Sure, there are 6k+ options, but as it is 4k is a bit overkill honestly and is not going to be obsolete any time soon.Just a reminder, this is a cinema camera so no continuous auto focus and no in body stabilization. Also, no flip screen and the battery is horrendous, maybe 30 minutes of max. I live in a really sunny area so maybe this won’t be an issue in other places, but the screen is also not viewable outdoors on a sunny day. If i had to guess, it must be like 250 nits or less.Just make sure you are getting this because it is what you need and not because of the hype. This will be great for documentaries, narrative work, interviews, etc. It will also work fine for music videos, weddings, etc, but if that is what you will use it for 100% of the time then maybe there are better options. It is also definitely not the choice for vlogging, that is just a bad idea. I use it for multiple uses so while it may not be the best for some, I can’t afford multiple camera systems, so it works well for me.

Excellent product sold by an excellent store
This was such a flash deal! I got it just two days after buying it; it was used but with DaVinci License and everything! I had a problem with FedEx and these guys (the seller) were on top of it and help me get my package soon, very helpful and reliable store. Package looked nice and it came with everything said on the description, I couldn’t find any sign of damage in the camera itself so it feels like new as they say.

Blackmagic doesn’t miss
I’m familiar with the 4k and it’s a great camera and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a professional video camera. I purchased a used 4k from seller 6Ave. The camera came in stellar condition despite the modest score provided by the seller. I’m more than pleased with my purchase and would recommend purchasing from 6Ave as well.

LO MEJOR:1- Los archivos. Lo mejor de la cámara son los tipos de clips que graba. Se puede escoger entre cuatro variantes de ProRes (todas 4:2:2, 10 bits e intraframe) o RAW CinemaDNG con tres tipos de compresión. Ninguna cámara de este segmento (ni la mayoría de las que son mucho más caras) graban ficheros de tanta calidad y tan agradecidos en posproducción. La resolución va de 4096×2160 a 60p a 1920×1080 a 120p y es previsible que en futuras actualizaciones permita grabar Blackmagic RAW.2- El sistema operativo. Sencillo, intuitivo y rápido, a años luz de la competencia. Además, muchas de las funciones se pueden controlar vía Bluetooth.3- El tamaño de la pantalla. Lo que más llama la atención la primera vez que coges la cámara es la enorme pantalla de 5 pulgadas, táctil y con bastante brillo.4- Rango dinámico. Oficialmente Blackmagic dice que la cámara da hasta 13 pasos. Y lo he podido comprobar realmente, he llegado a 13 pasos y medio.5- La cámara viene con una licencia de Davinci Resolve Studio, hoy en día uno de los mejores programas de posproducción que existe. Un valor añadido incuestionable.6- La variedad de soportes de grabación. CFast 2.0, SD UHS-II e incluso discos SSD a través de USB-C. Es difícil ponerle pegas a semejante cantidad de opciones.7- Textura de imagen. El sensor es relativamente luminoso, pero a partir de 3200 ISO vamos a tener ruido. Lo bueno es que es un grano “agradable”, alejado del ruido de ganancia típico de otros equipos. Además, con Resolve Studio se puede eliminar fácilmente.8- Un despliegue de todo tipo de entradas y salidas, entre las que destaca un HDMI de tamaño normal o entrada de audio balanceado con alimentación Phantom.9- LUTs. Se pueden utilizar LUTs 3D tanto para monitorización como para grabación.10- El precio. Teniendo en cuenta que incluye Resolve Studio que cuesta más de 300€, es difícil de mejorar.LO PEOR:1- Duración de la batería interior. Nada demasiado grave, como en cualquier tipo de cámara de cine, hay que usar baterías externas para rodajes largos.2- Pantalla no abatible. Es cierto que la pantalla mola, pero el hecho de que sea fija hace que en algunas posiciones sea realmente incómoda. Nada que no se pueda arreglar con un monitor externo. Ahora tenemos excelentes alternativas a muy buen precio. Además para rodar cine el monitor es imprescindible para controlar correctamente el foco.En mi caso preferí la versión 4K sobre la 6K por dos motivos:1- Si quieres rodar en 4K, la versión 6K hace un crop sobre el sensor. Y además no te permite usar ProRes. Completamente inaceptable.2- Se necesita un ordenador increíblemente potente para editar en 6K. Y seamos honestos, ¿quién necesita 6K? No olvidemos que las principales películas del Hollywood se siguen rodando tanto con Red como con Arri Alexa a 3.4 K.3- Disponemos de unos juegos de objetivos CINEMATOGRAFICOS en versión M4/3 con una calidad insuperable y a precios casi regalados. Los MEIKE T2.2 en esférico, y los SIRUI en ANAMÓRFICO. Imposible pedir más por tan poco dinero. Junto con la BMPCC 4K obtenemos un conjunto IMBATIBLE.POR EL PRECIO POR EL QUE AHORA PODEMOS COMPRAR ESTA CÁMARA ES UN PECADO PENSÁRSELO SIQUIERA.

Qualidade, prazo certo e com a certificação original.

Die Kamera ist in der Bildqualität allen anderen Kameras wie GH5 oder Sony A7 Serien haushoch überlegen. Das liegt zum einen an den Möglichkeiten in RAW zu filmen und an der Tatsache, dass die verbaute Technik dahinter zumindest bis in den ISO Bereich 6000 einzigartig ihren Dienst leistet. Das letzte Firmware Update hat dazu noch vieles verbessert.Die Kamera ist nichts für Anfänger oder Spinner geeignet, welche mal fix und aufgeregt irgendeine ”Tante” im Mohnfeld filmen wollen. Es ist also keine Testosteron – Kamera für nen Film und Foto ”Quickie”.Sagen wir es so….. Die Kamera ist im ersten Schritt auch erstmal nur ein Body mit der Option in Zukunft ein wenig Kino zu machen. Denn man kauft hier nur ersteinmal ein Grundsetup. Man benötigt dringend schnelle SSD Platten und Batteriegriff mit ordentlich NP f 550 Vorrat. Dazu ist nen Smallrig Zubehör empfehlenswert. Das macht nochmal rund weitere 1000,00 € nötig. Die SSD Platten sind wichtig um konstant hochwertiges Material aufzunehmen.Die Kamera hat keinen internen Bildstabilisator, das ist hervorragend. Warum? Ganz einfach, diese Stabis lassen ohnehin nur die Bildqualität leiden, siehe GH5 oder Sony A7 Serie bei eingeschaltenen Stabis.Wer also nicht in der Lage ist ohne Stabi zu arbeiten muss auf die Objektive mit Stabi zurückgreifen. Alle Leica Panasonic Objektive mit Power O.i.S. kommen euch dort entgegen. Wer zudem lichtstarke Objektive von Leica oder Sigma verwendet bekommt hier großes Kino geliefert.Die Menüsteuerung ist in der Kamerawelt einzigartig und jedesmal wenn ich in ein Sony oder gar GH5 Menü zurück muss bekomme ich ehrlich gesagt einen Brechreiz. Hier zeigt Blackmagic der Konkurrenz wie es richtig geht. Hervorragende touchscreen geführte Menüs. WELTKLASSE.Ich rate in jedem Fall zu einem Batteriegriff (nur original) oder einer anderen externen Stromversorgung. Wer nicht im Freien filmt kann drinnen auch auf eine 12V konstante Stromversorgung zurückgreifen.Die Kamera hat nur eine Kunststoffgehäuse, welches aber hochwertig ist und nicht knarzt und krächzt beim Bedienen wie z.b. übliche Sony A7 Kamerabatteriegriffe.Nimmt man nun noch das Preis Leistungsverhältnis, bekommt man unterm Strich eine tadellose Kamera ohne viel Theater und bewegt sich dann, bei entsprechenden weiteren Investitionen , auf sehr hohem Niveau. Und ja natürlich können andere Kameras auch sehr gut Filmfootage liefern, aber nicht mit diesem Dynamikumfang und der Möglichkeit in hochwertigem RAW Format oder ProRes aufzunehmen.Wie gesagt die GH5 und Sonys in allen Ehren gehalten, aber was hier hinten rauskommt ist nochmal ne ander Nummer. Danke Blackmagic, für das kleine große Ding.

Was looking for a new camera to shoot some video – heard a lot of great things about the 4K and decided to take the leap.This camera takes some INCREDIBLE footage. While the battery life isn’t great, there are tons of solutions out there to mediate the problem.The editing software included is also very straight forward and easy to use. I highly recommend this camera to anyone interested in starting out in film.
