BMPCC4K a 5 year old camera battles against Lumix S5IIx 

The biggest give away for me was the stabilization. Panasonic are quite spot on with their stabilization (from a former GH5; now Sony shooter).

Pocket 4k with speed booster absolutely destroys the s5iix. I have both, just bought the 4k a month ago for a fashion campaign b cam to my 6k pro. Got it with the intention of running vintage lenses. Had no idea the 12 bit 4k raw would be so amazing. Just bought the pd movie lidar for it. I honestly can’t believe how good it is

In a run and gun situation where focus is importance on shot after shot. I am going with Lumix S5iix

I have this and it is SO UNDERRATED

You seem genuine

This last year I moved from the original micro cinema to the s5. The raw footage clips you’ve posted here could almost have been from a comparison of those two cameras! When I saw the A-B it was so obvious!! They are very different, but for me, I feel the s5 is way more versatile but also more work in post/colour grading to get the image where I want it. Even the menu system on the micro cinema camera was easier to navigate than the S5…

I own the Lumix S5iix and had no interest in BM cameras until the 6kFF came out. I purchased it because it was L-mount and I can share my lenses, I already had v-mount batteries because the battery life on the 6kff is really bad, and finally because it has a 1.6 anamorphic de-squeeze factor which perfectly matches my set of Sirui anamorphic cine lens set. I shoot in open gate and it's a fantastic image. I also already had a bunch of CFExpress cards but I mostly capture to SSD. I wish it had a dedicated TC port but for the price it's pretty good. One annoying thing is that it can't keep time. I always have a battery on it and always charged but if I don't turn it on every couple of days then it can be off by days or months. I researched and found this is a common problem with BM cameras but how hard is it to put a crystal system in there to keep the time.

S5iix is like atleast 4 years ahead of the bmpc4k 😂 but ya no I’ll take that lumix every time

I would recommend getting bmpcc 4k only if you can't afford something better. Updates are good and all, but I see lack of information and buzz for this camera online. If you get it now, you WILL feel left behind, because most of the people have moved on to bmpcc 6k or other brands with bigger sensors. bmpcc4k is great, I have no plans to replace it soon, but S5IIX would be a better overall choice for someone looking for a new camera.

Also, no offense - this is a terrible video sample of both cameras. The cam B blacks are nowhere near zero. Did you even try to color grade?

I have a bmocc4k, but both footage looks bad brotha

You didn’t set these cameras up correctly. I have the Pocket 4k, Cinema 6k and Panasonic S1 and they are much closer than you examples. Some of your frames look horrible and non of them should.

from the beginning, camera a is visibly softer, but when in one of the hand-held shots camera a was shaking and camera b was not, the suspicions became 100% certain 😂😂😂 your content is very very nice, good and helpful 👌🤌💪💪💪

One thing I noticed with black magic that it looks like film
