Is the BMPCC 4K better than the BMPCC 6K PRO?

I agree with you on the points you make. Please don't get disheartened by the soreness in the comment section. All the best for your future videos!

Excellent Analogy.

Great video. Clear points and explanation. Wonderful job.

A few additions: 1. The file sizes. A lot of people don't realize the difference of cost in media when comparing these cameras. 2. The feel of the footage (this is VERY subjective, so take it with a grain of salt). The look of a shot is affected by resolution - P4K is softer than the P6K due to the lesser resolution. Showing each hair and skin detail of a talent is sometimes detrimental. On the other hand, in a product shot you might want to squeeze out every inch of detail.

I agree. I also had my BMPCC4k modified by Tilta. And I cannot justify getting a bigger heftier camera now, when my 4k has an internal 1TB NVME and a flip screen.

I keep like the image on the 4k is sharper for some reason. 6k pro is softer with better colors but image isn’t better if that makes sense.

hey any camera nerds out there... I have a bmpcc 4k and just bought the sinui 35 anamorphic mft mount. I usually use my metabones ef mount to mount all my canon glass and that has worked great up to this point... However, I did by an adapter for the sinui 35mm to convert it to eft (it is semi permanent so i haven't done that yet, was hoping to get some clarity). I am just wondering if there would be any change or benefit to the actual image if i were to go from sinui 35mm (MFT) -> metabones ef -> MFT or if i should just take the metabones adapter off when shooting with this lens,.... and then just put the adapter back on when i use my other lenses that are ef mount. I thought that metabones adds a stop of light or something like that? Am i crazy? Probably. Thanks yall

Excellent, thanks.

brilliant video mate

I have used both extensively and must say that the without looking at the price difference the 6K is far better than the 4K. The tilting screen, the built in ND’s, the better quality, the ability to record better in low light. Its not even a question that the 6K is better but there’s nothing wrong with that, the 4K is still amazing for what it is. It’s like looking at the iPhone 5 VS the newest iPhone, both are amazing for the time they were built and can be respected but the newer one is just plain better.

I think, for most of us laymen that can even barely afford a set up like any of these. An important factor is actually lens possibilities. Yes, the 4k has MFT and the 6k has EF. But have you ever had a look at the prices of full frame EF glass? Those lenses go new for roughly the same price as the camera itself. Let alone if you want a cinema lens. Im talking ofcourse about not buying a second hand 50mm 1.8 II for 65 $. While for the MFT mount there are amazing MFT lenses out there such as the Meike cine for 300 each which are arguably better than a EF FF lens in terms of image.

i totally agree with your thoughts bro. i have bmpcc4k with 0,64x metabones and its most versatile camera ever does

Thank you!!

Love my 4K with the Metabones!

I’m wanting advice I’m shopping around for the 4K even though I worked on the 6K but I’m finding suppliers keep pushing me onto the 6K and aren’t helping me with finding a suitable lens for the 4K. Im starting a small advertising business to make vids for peoples Facebook pages and ideally want a versatile lens that is good for close up interviews as well as good for wide angle outdoor location shots. Im only starting out and want value for money. I found your video really helpful because I’m trying to keep all my costs to a minimum starting out. Please if you could let me know of a good affordable suitable lens I’d appreciate it. I was using for the 6K a canon 24-105 mm image stabilizer ultra sonic lens which was fantastic for what I needed. Just needing something that will have same versatility that’s not so costly ?

As a BMPCC4K user I can mostly agree with you on the points you make. I'm using the Canon EFs 17-55mm f2.8 with OIS and the metabones speedbooster ultra x0.71 and I'm really happy with the quality I get out of it. But there is one major downside many people forget about. The 6K Pro has built in ND filters. Something that's missing from the 4K and normal 6K models. And since all the BMPCCs do not have sufficent IR filtration you have to use external ND filters with IR cut, which makes that a quite expensive add on. If you, like me, use an APSC lense with a speedbooster on the 4K you can quickly run into the problem of vignetting when using filters in front of the lense. If you use the x0.64 speedbooster with APSC you will have strong vignetting for sure. I use a mattebox with 4x5.6 cinema filters to get around the vignette, but a single IRND filter costs easily around 250 bucks. And that's just one strength. So you would need several of these and have to switch them everytime you want to adjust for exposure changes. I was thinking about getting the new Tilta mirage with VND. But since that VND filter does not have IR cut it would not work with the BMPCC4K. So you would still need an extra IRND cinema filter in front. These are all extra costs you have to consider. So that's a clear point for the 6K pro with internal ND filters. The ease of use, no vignetting etc. all really hard to reproduce with the bmpcc4k when opting for a speedbooster. Of course you could go for a full frame lense on the speedbooster, but those lenses especially if you want a run and gun setup with a zoom lense with 2.8 or better throughout the whole range and image stabilisation will get exponentionally more expensive. So to make a long point short, the BMPCC4K does give you more options in regards of what lenses you can choose but it does come with a price and it's own set of problems. With the 6K Pro you can get around with just slapping on a good APSC EF lense, use the internal NDs, use the flip screen (it's good and bright enough for outside use) and not have to think about all the work arounds you would have to do with the 4K model.

Good stuff man - I think Im getting a 4k again ha - will do a compare over on my channel too ha

How did you get that many resolution options for the bmpcc4k?? I can only choose between HD, UHD, and 4K.

Doesn’t matter how good your image quality is if your filming shite! I think this was a good review!!

Hi, you mentioned rolling shutter, how badly does this affect handheld shots with the 6KP?

As a BMPCC6K user I want buy one 4K and sell the 6K only for the size of the 4k sensor, more big in 4k (15X8 IN 6k VS 19X10 IN 4k....crop factor 2 in 4K vs 2.5 in 6K). I use the camera only in BRAW so I use the only 6K mode in full size sensor for 10%, the 90% of time I shot in 4K. So ise better to have a bigger sensor. Second MFT lenses are less expensive. But in Prores 6k is a good camera.

The last camera I had was a Nikon F2, some 40 years ago. I know nothing about "auto" this or that. I spend my time composing a shot, whether it be a 'photo or film.

Hi Chris. How well do they work together? I'm planning to buy both shortly. 6K Pro as my A-camera, the 4K as the B, obviously.

i wanna invest in the 4k but i dont want to spend that much extra for speed booster.. anyone have footage video of the 4k with a regular cheap ef mount?

Bro I am planning to purchase BMPCC 4k.....My PC has gtx 1650.......can GPU GTX 1650 4gb ddr6 can easily edit footage and render it easily or I need to upgrade graphic card.....

I'm not with you on this review. The paramount reason for the Pocket 6k Pro being better than the 4k, is the image quality. Though Blackmagic Design claims that both cameras have 13 stops of dynamic range, it's very clear that this is incorrect, and that the 6k Pro has a significant advantage in dynamic range, having 1 stop more in the highlights and 1 more in the shadows. There are other reasons, but this is the most important one

I'm filmming a movie using both.

Angry people in the comments 😅

I dont get point of video

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I don't agree. The super 35 is 200% better

You forgot one important thing and that's the PRICE The 4K might be more expensive than the 6K pro The 6K pro is basically ready to use right out of the box The 4K you have to build it up -speed booster -monitor -ND filters -ssd card -vmount battery -cage All of a sudden the a $1200 4k ends up costing you $4000 to rig up I say if you're new and want to get a high end cinema camera go for the 6K pro It's newer and all you basically need to get is a few extra batteries and a cfast card. And the rest of the stuff you could get as time passes.

no

Yea black magic fucked up and it's a better price

First , you should build a very strong fan base than put videos like this. Because, who are you? Why would I trust this review?
