- Last video I posted was a blind test comparing the Panasonic Lumix GH5 and the Original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. In this video however, we dive deeper and do an in-depth comparison between the two cameras. Can the BMPCC from 2013 stack up against the GH5 from 2017?
The tests were shot using CinemaDNG Raw on the BMPCC and 4K 10-bit 150Mbps on the GH5.
GH5 used a Canon FD 35mm F2 and the BMPCC a Canon FD 24mm F2, to compensate for difference in sensor size. The GH5 used V-log L with sharpness and noise-reduction turned all the way down.

I have the BMPCC OG and really like it. But in a blind test, much of the time I'm not sure I could tell the difference, especially if not side by side. I especially doubt that the difference would be noticed by the average viewer. Both are good enough to tell a story. Inexpensive equipment has reached the point to where the camera and lens are secondary considerations compared to the other factors involved in creating a good image and telling a story well.
Exactly, I feel like alot of people (me included) sometimes get to hung up on the technical gear instead of what we can do with that gear.
No way the average viewer notices. They are almost all totally oblivious.
@@GearZenChannel which one is better for you?
@@johanneseckestrom6566 I have a BMPCC and also a BMCC, so I am too biased to have a valid opinion. :)
@@GearZenChannel i have the BMPCC 4k and I Love it but I see people with the GH5 get an extremely cinematic look with their camera
Yeah the moire was a dead giveaway. The gh5 looked great next to the vintage but beautiful bmpcc. Thx for all your hard work.
You're welcome! :)
Hi Cal !
I love to watch your youtube topics on bmpcc og. As you mentioned, bmpcc og has moire to subjects having periodic patterns. It always frustrates me.
But, as you know, bmpcc og is not a perfect camera, so I can forgive it. Hahah~ This little one always makes me think deeply whenever I shoot film.
I mean, if the camera makes you think more about the shots, then they will probably come out better 👌
your tests are all on point.. Thank you
Thanks :)
Amazingly good video. Again: I would pay money for a lut that gets gh5 closer to og bmpcc. Can't quite get the green tint right in my own attempts.
Im pretty late but GHalex lut seems the closest to what you're looking for
I actually preferred B.. I wonder how much of a difference the lenses made though.. i have a canon fd 24mm 2.8 and its a different look then my canon fd 28mm 2.8
In my experience the lenses should match pretty well, but I'm thinking about doing some more in-depth tests soon.
What lens did you use on the bmpcc it looks so good
Just re-watching this in 4k now. I noticed some aberration on your shirt (on the white line part of your shirt) at 2:14 in the BMPCC footage, anyone notice this? Also the BMPCC footage looks softer and less sharp - a bit like if you shifted the RGB channels so they are slightly offset?
Thats the moire

Good work.
Thanks :)
the giveaway was in the leaves shot. you really felt the 'digital' quality for lack of a better word (i'm newer to this stuff maybe there is a word for it) when the leaves were moving in the wind. the GH5 just looked kinda...'home video' ish... the BMPCC looked like a quality/cinematic video.
FINALLY!!=)
Haha 👍
Good evening everyone! Help with the choice. I need your opinion dear. I am going to buy one of these cameras. Someone tell me what is the difference in the image, cinematic film toist between bmpcc and bmmcc? The sensor is the same, in general, what are the pros and cons in these beauties? It seems to me that the first pocket is more like a film strip, but the picture is soapy so much I saw.
GH5 looks like video to me. BMPCC more organic.
For me, The BMPCC is the better camera.
Bmpcc 4k production or the Bmpcc4k??
Which one I prefer? Never used the BM Production Camera 4K so I would have to say the Pocket 4K
Bmpcc get the filmic vibes... Gh5 still digital
