It's not just the same sensor, it's the same sensor but with a better thermal design. If a person didn't preorder, then it's likely they will have a tough time getting one for a long time... so be happy you have a preorder in.
That's true. I always just wanted the image quality of the bm cinema 6k in a more riggable body with better battery solution and good IO. The Pyxis is exactly what i wanted 4-5 years ago. Yeah tough times if you preorder now, when even i have a hard time when preordering months ago.
I honestly don't understand why people obsess over the fact that it has an "old" sensor. As if from one day to the next a wonderful sensor stopped being good. Alexa updated her AleVIII just the other day which was more than 10 years old. No one ever complained. Finally I have missed focus more with the FX6 than with the Ursa 4.6.
I agree, thats the one thing that was keeping me positive with my decision to preorder. Because its an existing sensor that people love the image from, me included. So that was one thing to rely on. Adding it being a box styled camera that can be rigged out to your exact needs, the build quality, the new battery type, the media type and everything else makes it just as perfect as it gets for that price IMO.
"Old" sensor = Reliable. Also it's not the sensor that makes an image but also the electronics. Despite being an "old" camera, the Ursa Mini form 2018 still produces some of the most beautiful images I've seen.
@@sergiomartinez5946 Agree! It would take way more for a sensor to be "old" than being released couple of years ago. It's still fairy 'new' technology and packed in a new polished body like the Pyxis makes it a really good combo.
The camera is perfect, don't worry. I say perfect, because it's the closest thing to an Alexa you can get (now). A proper EVF, SDI out, Dual CF Express and with a Mofage PL-L adaptor, you've got "internal" ND's too. It all adds up I know, but I've only talked about the physical attributes of the camera. Less cables, less rigging, less batteries. It all helps you get closer to a professional rig. Then, there's the image quality. It destroys any Sony camera. You will experience that soon, and never look back. BRAW is truly amazing in every regard. Of course Sony will be able to record BRAW soon via external recorders, but fuck that - it will be like what Panasonic's BRAW is (not full spec). Then you'll need to rig out your Sony with an extra monitor, extra batteries and extra media, and it will always have Sony colours. Anyway, this all adds up to an amazing tool that you can rely on. I've shot big spec TVC's with the bmpcc6K for almost four years now. The image quality has always impressed me, even to this day. The pyxis delivers on all the things wrong with the bmpcc range. It's amazing! I'm so excited.
Thank you for your comment! I think i will be more than happy with the Pyxis comming from the Sony A7iii. Im really exited for the superb color science and the 6k 12bit BRAW. The form factor is really nice aswell and perfect for the work im aiming for doing with this beast. Im really looking forward.
@@keshhh i don't know much when it comes to comparing to an Alexa but i've heard many times that you can match BRAW really good with Alexa footage. I know someone that owns an Alexa 35 and he meant that no camera to date comes even close in direct comparison but if he would choose one for comparison it would be Blackmagic.
@@wallenboeckfilms your friend is probably right. I was speaking more about the performance of the Ursa compared to the Pyxis. The Ursa has a much faster (and therefore comparable to the Alexa) sensor readout speed as well as internal ND filters.
You will like it, if not you will be able to sell it quickly. The thing that will be a pain is manually focusing all the time. By the way if you had any newer Sony camera with 10 bit you would not get that banding in the whites that you are getting in this video with the A7III which is only 8 bit. Your white walls have a lot of color banding in them. That alone will be a big updated for you. I had the BMPCC 6K pro but was tired of worrying about being in focus all the time. It was way too stressful for me and Sony was the best decision I made bc I could start creating again and not worrying about focusing all the time. I shoot a lot of Moving models and subjects and it was hard to say the least. With the new Lidar systems I might be tempted to try out Black Magic again some day.
First of all, i appreciate your comment. Autofocus is a blessing thats true, but it can also be a curse, especially as a cinematographer. I do agree tho that it does take away always worrying about if your shot is always in focus. That's why i have been forcing myself the last couple of months and since i knew im swapping to a video oriented camera like the Pyxis to mainly shoot with manual focus to just get used to it and become better at it also. Win win. I still think that investing into a lidar system will benefit me and you cant go wrong with that. To the banding.......yes im tired of 8-bit. Im experienced enough now that its really starting to limit myself in post, so im really looking forward to the 12bit 6k BRAW, which is just more than better.
@@directorhenley a lot so far. i have yet to get out and film some proper stuff with it. i have to say tho the build quality and feel is really premium
@@Samiam-mu5ln tell me how a normal question is copy paste? It‘s literally the topic of the video. The question i was asking myself for weeks because i wasnt always 100% sure of the preorder. I wanna se you comment that then under every video of all the tech channels when a new smartphone etc. releases. You make no sense, thank you for the view and engagement, helps out my channel a lot. :)
@@wallenboeckfilms Yeah, as I kept watching I realized that you were just exploring atypical compositions. Which is fine, It's important to try new things.
@@SimplestUsername appreciate that you kept watching! i find that more interesting for a short video like that than a typical talking head setup. and yeah, i also wanted to try something new
If I have one hang up against the Pyxis, it's the side monitor. With the Pyxis monitor coming out, I think they should have just ditched the side monitor and included the external Pyxis monitor with it. With that side monitor gone they could have added more internal hardware, make it better, or maybe even cut on costs and added internal NDs or something.
I can see that point but i dont mind the side monitor at all. I think an onboard monitor of some kind is a neccessity. and it doesnt really matter where it sits or how big it is, since its suposed to be used for settings and as control view. Hopefully with the Pyxis Monitor connected you will be able to turn on and off the sidescreen when not needed.
The side monitor makes perfect sense for cinematography, but makes no sense for videography. A cinematographer works with assistants; a crew. A cinematographer (Director of Photography / DoP) has AC’s, one of which has the job of adjusting settings, and it’s very convenient for them to be able to stand close to the camera with their own monitor whilst doing so. In fact, DoP/Cinematographer is such an overseeing role that they don’t even have to operate the camera; they can have their own camera operator. While the Director _directs_ the DoP, the DoP him-/herself _directs_ the photography and its relating crew members (light, operation, etc.). This is very different than run-and-gun one-man photography, and the side monitor is stated by BMD to be an AC monitor.
@@whengrapespop5728 Exactly, the Pyxis was never solo operator first. It is meant for small to medium production work, or Broadcast environments where the camera is mostly static. There you will always have an AC. But you still can easily use this camnera as a solo filmmaker especially with the Pyxis Monitor it will be really nice. I will use this camera for solo filmmaking a lot as well jsut bec there isnt always produciton work with smaller groups. No matter what use case, you are gonna be attaching an external monitor anyways.
All this useless talk of gear just to attract views around prosumer products....in the actual industry, they're too busy renting the right gear for the specific project because the focus is on making something, not creating a YT channel where gear is the focus. Just make stuff with whatever friggin camera you have.
so when i have a passion that i made to my profession i am not allowed to talk about this topic on my TH-cam chanel? When i literally only talk about things i own or wanna own to share my experiences and opinions with like minded people? So to you every single tech chanel on TH-cam, let alone any chanel talking about consumer products, is redundant? And how would you even assume im not creating stuff outside of TH-cam? Interesting opinion, thank you for sharing.
brother can i come work under you. and help you through your youtube carrier. if it okay i want to send you my cv how we can improve the channel. BTW i am from maldives.

BMD wanted to appease people who like boxy cameras so they took the pocket 6k, stripped it down, boxed it, and said "here ya go" 😉😈
Which was a really smart and good move by them!
