This camera is AMAZING but there is a huge problem with storage. Most people keep recommending this camera and they don't mention how the best SD card to record raw was discontinued and its a pain to find it. Maybe there is another option out there I never heard about but this is the only reason stopping me from getting this camera.
it’s tricky because there are a lot of people unable to use the new Sandisk extreme pro 170mb/s V30. Even Blackmagic recognizes this problem. The only card that’s reliable is the 95mb/s uhs I but that one was discontinued. What kind of Sandisk card are you using?
I can advise you on a new card Kingston Canvas select plus. RAW 30p is without problems !!!!! I have tested the 128Gb and 256Gb type. Several pieces, all 100%

Totally agreed. I’m still using this camera and the micro abs refuse to upgrade. The 4K and 6k looks too much videoish. I waited so long for the upgrade and they messed it all up.
Julian Rez Masud just had a 30 second glance at eBay and saw 5-6 under £400. Without wanting to spend too much time looking, but there’s loads on the market. I’m sure the prices will fluctuate but they’re there for sure.
I've been on such a hook watching videos about the BMPCC, never owned one but really really want to test it out. Spec chasing and pixel peeping is not what I love about creating videos ^^

Neat review AJ. You nailed it by detailing the shortcomings of BMPCC. We used the 6k on a feature documentary in December last year primarily mounted to a vehicle through the desert (off road etc). The camera had to spin using a ps4 controller via Ronin-S (we all geeked out pretty hard at the great results). We were all surprised just how amazing the image quality was so it made us reconsider the value of the BMPCC6k for future work. However, like Sony, the battery life was terrible. It would die after an average of 24 minutes! We had to tether a power cable (out of site) around the side of the vehicle to a Vmount setup. Short of that issue, it was a great camera.
No way, blackmagic sent out the 6k to us earlier this year. And for sure it’s mind blowing what it can achieve for only $2k but yeah the shortcomings are very short!! Battery life being right up there. Nice to hear some first hand front line experience with it too though.
@@120fps I guess the only other drawback could be the huge files sizes. It took longer to backup footage than from the C700 on average, but we'd always kick it off in the evenings as 'set-and-forget'. If we weren't in the pandemic situation I'd very much consider buying a BMPCC6K as a B camera for documentary work.
By George, you're absolutely correct. There IS something unique to the BMPCC that's missing in the 4K and the 6K. You helped me nail it - it's the Super 16mm sensor = filmic.
@@120fps Yes, you really captured my unspoken thoughts about the BMPCC and its 4K/6K siblings - that though they are very clear, they've somehow lost the filmic look of the original. I was ready to upgrade myself, and had even thought, "Oh well, I know I'll come up with something to regain that certain quality I like about the original." But searched as I have far and wide on TH-cam, no 4K/6K footage really has that certain character of the original. Believe it or not, watching your video tonight made me actually PULL my eBay ad of my BMPCC down. I'm smiling as it's now back in my dry cabinet, and staying for good.

Man that’s really cool to hear. I just grabbed it out of the studio as I picked for the lockdown, just thought it would be a nice to play with. It instantly reminded me why I bought it in the first place. Was lucky enough to test out the 6k and although technically great, it’s just missing that character. I’m gonna go on a mission of moding this one. Anyway. Thanks again dude and good luck with your bmpcc
Black magic switched sensor manufacturers from Fairchild sensors to Sony sensors for their more recent cameras. When they switched sensors, the cameras lost that filmic look. Especially on their lower priced models.
@@120fps Yeah I've been watching hours and hours now of footage of BMPCCs, BMPCC 4K, BMCC 2.5K, BMCC 4K, and the Ursa 4.6K...and only the original BMPCC has that organic, filmic, truly cinematic quality. Some users have commented it's due to the Fairchild sensor used. What surprises me is how I didn't notice that before; it's baffling, really. Many people, in fact, have commented that only the original BMPCC has that cinematic quality, and I found quite a few who had sold their BMPCC only to re-purchase a used one later. Scary how close I came to selling mine; man, I would have been crazy disappointed later. Looking forward to hearing how you mod yours; hopefully you vlog about it. Best of luck to you, too!

"video that affects you on an irrational level" great sentence that summurized great video ! You nailed it just right man!! I would add that there is a big learning curve with this camera, i myself in the progress of learning how to produce high quality image out of it deapite the ultra narrow menu the camera provides.

Thanks so much Daniel. It's such a good creative tool that just doesn't get the love it deserves... although you're right she's a diva to get working right!!
Nice review, AJ. I think the best use for 6 and 8K will remain for post-production zooming! Realistically, most consumers still watch 1080 - and even SD - and don't really notice. I've said it before and I'll say it again (yawn..) humans can watch noisy / grainy / juddery video, but the sound has to be right. We don't tolerate bad sound...but we will quite happily watch old films. The 'analogue' look is part of the reason I now shoot stills on film again - there is something aesthetically inherently pleasing about it that can't be captured by clinical digital cameras. (or replicated in editing!).
Totally agree Chris. Sound is everything for video, funny how it's over looked amongst the film community! Also, chasing specs for their own ends seems to be the flavour of 2020. I've got the S1H sat next to me here (on loan) and I'm more excited about this original BMPCC, it's the closest thing to a characterful digital video camera that you can get. I've been loving your move back to film, probably in-part inspired me to go down this rabitt hole!
There’s a few we go for. By far my favourite is converting old M42 lenses to the m4/3 Mount, they are super cheap and super gorgeous!! However we also get a lot of mileage out of using the canon 16-35 f/4 (the one with IS). Again you need to convert the mount (ef-m4/3) but totally worth it 🙌🙌
Bit late but... from what I understood the crop on the sensor is almost 3x from the full frame, so a Lumix 12-35mm would be like 35-105mm basically - the most versatile IMO 😌
Yeah that’s right. MFT crop is heavy, but it is a defining characteristic of this type Of camera. You get used to the crop, and in truth you’re not buying this hoping for a full frame look. You’re hoping for the super-16 aesthetic and that’s totally what you get.
Wow, it’s really jumped up in price recently then. They do tend to fluctuate a lot, and they do seem right now to be a little more popular again. Keeping watching them, they will drop in price again.
@@120fps I'm fortunate to own one. As you point out in the video, it really is a great camera. I actually think BlackMagic should have made a new version of it. Give it better microphones, timecode and a better battery and keep it very, very small. I think they would have had a winner. I'm not able to make my BMPCC 4k files look as cool as my original BMPCC look.
This camera isn't a TH-cam camera. If you aren't serious, then this camera isn't for you. It requires full attention like your spouse in order for things to workout well.

Such good value still! Thanks for dropping in :)
Thanks for this review. I have been wanting to pick up a BMCC4K but want to get my feet wet with the 1080 version. My question is that I have an M100 which would be great with better glass and am looking at an m50 for the 4K. I still keep coming back to thise 1080 BMCC. Do you think its still worth it even though I have something that is capable at 1080 with decent results?
100% I would that this camera is totally unique in it's offering. I will say that it's hard to work with, a lot harder than the m100 or m50, but if you persevere it can deliver some really beautiful results that very few cameras can deliver and certainly none at this price point. For the money, it is unbeatable!!

This is shot on a BMPCC Tevidon 16 / 1.8 and Tevidon 25 / 1.4 lenses th-cam.com/video/oZD0B3CuK3U/w-d-xo.html
I have a Fujinon 14-84 F1.6 TV-zoom. Does not cover the full sensor, but you dont have to scale much (like ~1.2). I made this full shot with it.
