I was thinking most of these things but there seems to be a few camps of people that dismiss the camera and a few camps that welcome it. People that seem to hate it are: 1. the Vlogger/RU-vid exclusive types 2. Indie run/gun types that have never used a box style modular camera 3. wedding/event shoots that place a premium on size 4. BMD haters/ spec hounds People that love it are: 1. Indie people that want the flexibility that a modular camera offers 2. pro cinema/commercial types 3. BMD fans 4. People that want their gear to be simplified through workflow decisions (like having a dedicated tool and moving away from hybrid tools) I pretty much agree and have stated such in many forums/groups that those that want flip screens simply need to get over the absence because that's not what these cameras are made for... and options for those things readily exist in the hybrid space. The dynamic range thing is crazy in many ways but I think BMD historically has always gone about designing cameras for what most people need today rather than "future-proofing" except when it comes to things like the Ursa 12K sensors. I agree that it would be nice to have a faster reading sensor and more DR/Latitude but that's not going to be the things that is a crutch for most people. I'd love for BMD to figure out the internal ND solution given that the L-mount and the Canon RF mount both share a 20mm flange distance. In either case I hope that they also figure out how to do color corrected eVND as well if they are going to do internal ND's. I'd love the option for internal ProRes as well... but I also have an Atomos Ninja V so I''m not tripping if the solution is as simple as buying the SDI module.
The big one that pisses me off is gripes about DR. I shoot with a Sony F55, We all know what that camera has done in terms of Movies and series. Sony rated the F55 at 14 stops. It’s actually around 11 stops. And look at all it has done. Bitching about DR means you’re not prioritizing light, and a cinematographer’s first responsibility is to lighting. Learn the craft or shut up. No camera is going to do the work for you.
Not having an HDMI port is not a legitimate concern because the Komodo and other cameras that cost way more than the PYXIS doesn’t have it, like you said the PYXIS is for professional filmmakers not hobbyists and if you want HDMI buy the BMCC6K.
That price point isn’t so “professional”… which is why it’s accessible to many non-filmmakers…. Who may not own much if any SDI equipment. Hence the complaints.
@@angryrabbitproductions1690 Price point doesn’t have anything to do with being professional it’s just affordable and so is the the Pocket 4K/6k and Cinema 6K that do have HDMI if you want to go the BMD route other than that it’s just complaining just to be complaining. And most filmmakers will say the RED Komodo is a affordable price point without an HDMI port.
Rolling Shutter: Similar rolling shutter as the Sony Burano and FX9… any 6K or 8K camera that isn’t global shutter. Dynamic Range: Similar DR as the Sony FX6 and FX9 (check CineD’s test). No NDs: There aren’t internal ND on the Red Komodo or V-Raptor. Not even on the FX3 or Canon R5C. They’re on the C70 and FX6, which are $5500 - $6000. There on the Pocket 6K Pro, which is a Super35 camera. Screen on the side: Similar to the V-Raptor. Attach a monitor and operate the camera by pressing the buttons on the side, like an ENG camera. Most FX6 / FX9 users do this due to the flimsy screen, horrible menus, and limited touchscreen functionality. No HDMI: SDI is more secure and HDMI port can break. There are affordable SDI monitor on the market. Komodo is SDI only. Remember, most cameras don’t even have shutter angle, timecode, or internal RAW.
Idk why people keep saying this but the people that are complaining about the Pyxis DO NOT OWN A KOMODO EITHER. The people that are mad are mostly pocket 4k, and 6k owners who would like a Blackmagic box camera that isn't a clear compromise
BMD said over and over that this PYXIS is nothing but the previous BMCC6K FF in a box with 2 CFast express card slots, a choice of mounts and SDI so why is everyone expecting something different other than what the was begging for for years. I don’t understand none of the complaints because BMD is not forcing anyone to buy this camera just go out and buy what you need.
Because we have been asking Blackmagic for a proper box camera for almost 10 years and they roll out this compromised overpriced camera. That's why we are upset
The cameras hate isn't real bro. The hate is coming from folks that were never going to buy the camera in the first place. Anyone that is really in tune understands that this is an amazing tool.
Not true, the people that are "hating" like me actually use an Ursa (Rents the 12k for some shoots) and would love a smaller more portable version of that. But the Pyxis ain't it! With no articulating screen on the side you are forced to buy a viewfinder for $1700 or buy a second monitor where you can't control the camera from severely limiting the way you shoot. Also the rolling shutter would be forgiven if it was cheaper but for $3000 I need better than 25ms. Also this camera will suck for Documentary work where you want to pack as light as possible. I've shot lots of footage in cramp cars or and standing awkwardly in the corner of rooms where having a viewfinder wouldn't work and a flip it monitor does WONDERS. So the Pyxis doesn't work with most shooters. And it's very obvious that Blackmagic gimped this camera to not hurt he sales of the Ursa line but the price point is too high for what it offers.
I've legit seen people legit get so angry about the camera & angry it doesn't have all the stuff they want like they're being forced to buy it. Love that you made a video addressing some stuff and making sense!!
I'm angry because Blackmagic could've given us a damn good camera but they intentionally gimped it to preserve their higher end line. I personally hate when companies act in ways that leaves the consumers in a shitty spot. I won't be buying it and I'm not forced to and I'm angry for what could've been.
@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI there’s a difference in saying “this camera is not right for me” vs “this is not a good camera” most people i have conversations with and myself included believes this is not only a good camera but a great camera. If it’s not right fit for you that’s perfectly fine. No shame in that.
Black magic cameras are really impressive this year. The Ursa Cine 12K is the one that really excites me though. Lower resolution with no crop; 16 stops of DR, which doesn’t seem so exaggerated when you factor in the sensor’s design being different than any other sensor on the market right now.
@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI 1st of all it’s not the same designed sensor. It’s a full frame 3:2 with more recording options than the previous one. And even if it was the same sensor…. and?….. can you give me another camera company who gives you a raw codec and lets you down sample the image? I’ll wait. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I dont agree with your statement on 12,800 ISO.. like im pretty sure you wouldn't say that to Greg Frasier's face haha. They're different tools for different scenarios. But I agree with everything else, that with BM cameras people need to use them in more control scenarios if they plan on doing super low light stuff. Overall the camera is amazing and in hand the Pyxis is amazing. I talked to the engineers and they said that the L mount took a while to figure out. So I'm sure at some point we'll get internal NDs. I think most of the complaints people have for the Pyxis are coming from from people who are use to mirrorless hybrid cameras and the pocket series. The square form factor is made for rigging to be used as a proper cinema build.. but now that its here I think people are now realizing what that actually calls for and its just something new and different that they're not use to. I'll be getting the camera n hand soon and I'll do a video showing why the box style is important for the jobs that call for that specific type of tool. While it's frustrating to deal with people complain about silly things, it's our job to educate them. So im excited to see your upcoming content on it as well brutha
Preach. You nailed all the points solidly. To all the haters I would remind: these have always been called “cinema cameras”. Blackmagic could really scoop the film world by coming out with a BMPDC, a “Documentary Camera” with auto focus and a pivoting side screen and actual pocket sizing. Then the haters would really be hard pressed to complain.
the pyxis is made for amateurs and prosumers lol. Blackmagic cameras have still not been endorsed by any cinema industry but small people. Correction, they were used as crash cams on Avengers 1. BLackmagics proudest moment.
Pyxis is an awesome first step for creating an awesome Box Camera.... it lacks couple of things ( 2 video outputs, V-mount, etc) i wont be buying it.. but i think some future version of it will be in my hands!! thanks for video man! always awesome!
People just want to complain about things that have been around for years from other manufacturers. I have no idea why BM gets so much hate when they are constantly pushing things forward and focusing on the legitimate challenges users face.
To sum it up: haters are gonna hate… but real professional that actually do video for a living will either understand what BMD does and they will buy it, or they will evaluate that their products aren’t made for them and therefore will skip them and buy something else. Only trolls have time to waste on the internet to bitch about something because they cannot comprehend that not all products released are made and designed just for “them”… Just because it could be in their wallet price range, doesn’t mean a product is tailored to them… all wannabes, amateurs, hobbyists, vloggers and youtubers, etc… For instance, HDMI is not a professional connector, it’s unreliable and limited. Professionals will always favor SDI over HDMI… even if you buy a professional color grading display it will be in SDI only (trust me, we just got one this week). I haven’t seen one complain that actually really made sense… complaining that the screen doesn’t flip, while other cameras from Arri, Red, Kinefinity, etc… generally doesn’t even have large display to beginning with. This is not your vlogger Sony mirrorless camera here, it’s not a run & gun camera, it’s CINE cameras, it’s even in the freaking NAME… so long story short, don’t pay attention to haters, don’t waste your energy with them, they will always find something to bitch about because we all know they wouldn’t even buy it in the first place, they probably don’t even have the money for it… But don’t worry for BMD, they will still sell a shit ton of camera. The Pyxis could be the perfect “crash camera” for Hollywood movies
My first BMD camera was the 6k FF. I loved the image but sold it due to horrible battery life, form factor awkward, no dedicated TC port. As soon as I saw the announcement for the Pyxis I ordered one. It solves all of my problems I had with the 6k. I've been shooting video off and on for the last 50 years and two things I've never worried about was rolling shutter and dynamic range. Control your light and plan your shots. Now obviously this doesn't apply to the run and gun crowd but there ya go. I like that there's a lot of hate out there because that's less people in line for the camera.
I'm pretty sure you can use a USB-c to HDMI cabe with no problem at all. A lot of people just like to trash things without even knowing them. Others are just trolls.
You were on point, man. Box cams are meant to be tricked out. BMD has given us something special to work with at this price point. All of the stuff you need on RED or others have to be tricked out. I'd much rather start at this price with these images than not.
It’s crazy how toxic this industry is sometimes, like it’s a camera, people have their own opinions on what works and fits their needs, I’m an fx6 shooter, does this camera look cool to me yes, will I buy it, no it just won’t work with me but I hate seeing people hate on something for no reason, but at the same time I’m sooooo tired of seeing videos from all camera consumers calling a camera a “xxxx killer” like for example seeing videos called the “the Komodo-x killer” this is not a killer of any camera, both cameras will be used regardless of each others existence. Just like when the fx6 Mk2 comes out I promise there will be videos called “fx6m2, the killer of all cameras” lol
With regards to the internal ND. The real issue is flange distance and the OLPF. If Blackmagic kills the OLPF then there might be room in flange for some type of electronic ND; however, in doing so they're far more likely to loose the ability for the camera to be used on Netflix. This was one of the issues with the OG URSA 12 and why many believe they came out with the OLPF version. The Difference between the URSA 12k, Cine and the PYXIS is the flange distance of EF, PL and LPL is large enough for both the OLPF and their mechanical ND system, and thus why the URSA has it. While they could have added ND to the EF and PL PYXIS if one really wants rear ND then the best option in the L-mount, because there are a few third party adapters for both EF and PL that offer ND. Anyhow just my 2 cents.
If you were in the market for a 2nd BM camera, would you go with a used ursa g2 or the Pyxis since they’re around the same price? I currently have a 6k pro. My only gripe with the 6k pro is the lack of versatility with the ef mount in terms of cinema lenses.
That’s a good question and I think to an extent it comes down to whether you want full frame or super35, and what lenses you already have, or which ones you want to use. If you have a bunch of super35 glass, I’d either go with the used URSA or sell the glass (if you can’t use it with your other camera) because that’s going to require you to shoot cropped in the Pyxis, somewhat defeating the purpose.
I shoot with both Blackmagic and canon c70. The reason why canon c70 has a high dynamic range is due to its dual gain output sensor. You can shoot towards the sun and expose for your highlights and maintain a great deal of detail in your shadows. With blackmagic the same shot would have no detail in the shadows. It would require 1 or 2 more steps in adjusting your lighting and exposure. However you can get great images from Blackmagic you simply have to know how light your subjects. You can’t expect the camera to do the work for you.
Thanks for this video. To be honest, when I hear all of these complaints about Blackmagic it makes me ask if these people are even actual film makers. I get the thing with the internal NDs, but it’s not that big a deal. Now if there is one thing I’d like to see Blackmagic bring to market it would be a monochrome cinema camera. That would be hot and worth an intelligent conversation vs “Why didn’t they make the screen articulate?”
No Internal Nds, No articulating screen, bad rolling shutter and a crappy battery implementation. All packaged at $500 more than their more capable Cinema Camera 6K. You can see why people are upset
@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI all of those options are hybrid mirrorless cameras. Look at other box style cameras and you’ll see 1) the power draw of the Pyxis is far less than the likes of the raptor, Arri Alexa mini, kinefinity and z cam. 2) it’s a box camera. Your suppose to build it out yourself, its like wanting a master race PC but getting upset that you have to find and build the parts yourself.
The Komodo X is $10K and doesn't have internal ND's. So why should anyone expect internal ND's in the PYXIS at $3K. Sorry, it's nonsense to complain about it considering the price difference between these two cameras. The ARRI and Venice cameras have screens on the side and on one complains. But, the PYXIS has one and all hell breaks loose? It makes no sense. You can get a Blackmagic SDI monitor for $325 USD. With that, you're still saving thousands compared to other box cameras. As a filmmaker, the PYXIS is a totally viable camera for me. I used to have the BMPCC4K. And I loved working with BRAW. Being able to work with BRAW again would be great. Bottom line, I find the hate thrown at the PYXIS is crazy. (EDIT: And yea, get some dang lights, and light your scenes!)
The new Pyxis body style looks very professional and I love the flexibility of the new mounting options. I'm ready to get into the ecosystem of the Pyxis and then I'll be ready for the when the Pyxis 2 comes out in 2025. As far as built-in ND filters... Blackmagic said the reason they didn't do that was because they wanted to keep the form factor as compact as possible.
I'm curious if a USB to HDMI video conversion cable will work with this camera? Clearly they are fundamentally doing this once the footage is getting into the viewfinder it self, but if it's operating off the same standards as phones and most computers then one just might be able to plug and play an HDMI display with one of these adapters.
Cheers much for your opinions! Can you please compare it to the 6k Pro? A RU-vidr said that the 6k Pro’s image quality is better and it has the exact same sensor
A lot of the haters or more specifically the people that do not like doing work in post, really don't like doing post work. Then again, I'm speaking as someone that does a lot of post and actually enjoy doing post. Biggest gripe would be trying to fix fast moving subject jello effect since there really isn't a great way of fixing it. Other than that, the announcement of the Pyxis made me stop from buying the Broadcast G2 to pair with my Pocket 4K. The small form factor and the rigging options are a blessing and the L mount option makes it great for adapting older lenses. The dynamic range doesn't bother me due to my time with the Pocket 4K and learning what works and what doesn't. The noise is a little worrying at 3200 for the Pyxis/FF6K, but it's not awful.
@@FelixCervantes actually you can. There’s a feature in Davinci specifically for blackmagic cameras that uses a special stabilization for Gryo data. If you were to engage it on a clip it nullifies the rolling shutter.
@@JamesJacksonFilmz Gyro data used for the lack of IBIS yes, but exactly how does it know what type of image is captured to correct the rolling shutter? A shaky image and rolling shutter are two very different things. If the camera is on a tripod, the gyro data is useless for rolling shutter.
My only and biggest concern with this new camera is the side screen. Not so much the presence of it or lack of articulation, but whether it can be turned off when using another screen. Otherwise it would just end up causing battery drainage because let’s face it, no one will be using it when solo operating. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind engineering it that way except for trying to sell the new EVF. URSA mini/cine is a higher end model and has a tilting screen you can actually use, small yes, but saves in pinch when catching b roll off a truck at the end of your shooting day.
James my brother, I feel you, this was the most balanced video I viewed since the Pyxis was announced, I can't recall Grant saying " Here's the box camera you asked for, Buy it or a BMD rep will come to your house with an AR15 and threaten you!" come on people if it's not for you, shut up and go buy what works for your situation okay so you're not going to buy it big deal, there are people out there who are going to make boatloads of money using this camera in their situations which it is well suited for. Thank you for being the voice of reason in a sea of silly voices. peace out ✌🏾
Re: Video out via HDMI. You can use the front usb-c port out to a HDMI monitor via a simple usb-c to HDMI cable. That is why the port design is brilliant. Blackmagic is just pushing the viewfinder at NAB.
Well given the fact that video signal is being sent to an evf in theory @mmlewis1030 should be correct with this. Also blackmagic has also said there’s nothing stopping other camera manufacturers to use their new EVF as long as their C port send video data signals.
Blackmagic said in an interview at NAB that it’s a DisplayPort connection, so anyone could make a monitor that not only gets video from the port, but could add camera control just like their EVF has with the buttons.
i love the direction BM is seeming to go, and i am genuinely excited. i think the frustrating part is it feels like with every new camera we're not really getting anything 'new'. i genuinely would have loved a newer sensor in this camera, and to think now there must be a wait for a 'pro' version or something is just a bit frustrating. not that the camera isn't capable, i just don't get why. these companies have the technology.
i guess i am just being picky, i love that bm looks to do right by creators in terms of affordability and all, it just always feels like theres just ONE thing missing in every new camera, but u cant have it all i understand. their 12k n 17k look absolutely amazing though.
Great Video! Great video! I liked and subscribed. To add to your sdi defense. SDI can also be used for long runs. hdmi gets flaky after 25feet (they can go upto 50 but usually they are directional and prone to fail) I don't understand the screen argument. if they want the screen on the back get the 6kff. i think people are just mad trying to defend the purchase of their camera that they spent more on and the image doesn't look as good. I am biased. before I bought the 6kff, I had the 2.5k both ef and mft.
this whole "box camera" hate, and BMD hate is just the dinosaurs in the industry reacting before the meteor hits. The FACT is you're 100% correct about the ISO. If you're shooting video in such low light as you need to bump up to past 6400 ISO then you NEED LIGHT. It's really that simple. If you're shooting a feature or a paying project, you need to get that sorted out. It's that simple. Get a lens with at least 2.2 aperture and that will allow you to get very decent results in even the worst lighting. OR GET A LIGHT! These cameras are definite gamechangers. Full frame. Open gate. 6K. The dynamic range on all BMD cameras are not hyper huge, but the RESULTS are simply beautiful. and the BRAW is RAW! I work with RAW files every day and that opens up the whole world for correction. But you know what's even BETTER than correcting your footage in post??? GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! Get a light metre. GET LIGHTS!
I believe they will build at least two more of models of the Pyxis like they have done with the 6k camaras. They are just getting more info from the people on what they like.
Thank you! My lord, the complaints about the Pyxis just remaind me how entitled, toxic and fundamentally uneducated many creators are when it comes to the cube style cameras. It's as painful as arguing with a Flat Earther, you provide facts and they shut them down, you provide reason, they shut it down. God, my man thanks for this video, refreshing to hear.
People who mostly complain have never really worked in a real paid production, let alone worked with "CINE CAMERAS" . This new body is a breath of fresh air we been asking for and BM delivered. If you want everything then rig it up or buy other cameras, there is always that option you don't have to be married to it. My company just ordered 6 of them. Seriously for $3000 PL/FF /OG and color science so close to ALEXA. I just don't understand this hate if it is real.
Why hate? It's not a camera for me, but I am glad it will make many creators happy, fulfilling their needs! I love using manual prime lens, but I would never hate AF zooms. I love MFT, but I do not hate full frame, what is wrong with people?
The hate isn’t real at all, went to NAB, talked to just about every department that had a hand in the Pyxis and they really put the actual users at the forefront, I even asked if the type of language people use their keyboards for brought that to the show, and not once. This is an exciting release for alot of indie filmmakers, and if it’s not for you Don’t buy it, literally Blackmagic says that themselves
I agree wholeheartedly. So sad how people are complaining about a product they have not used. Your box camera point was king! I began thinking about what other box cameras out there have a screen! Funny, they complained that the Micro Camera 4K G2 needed a display. Blackmagic Design made one with a larger sensor and they are still not happy. I disagree on the HDMI. It’s time to stop acting like garage band production companies and work with quality cabling. I’m running HDMI AND SDI out of my Micro Camera 4K G2 that is being captured in HD and 4K. Cannot wait to get my hands on one of these. Good luck on your documentary.
People have to listen to the words of Dan May President of Blackmagic when he was saying and repeating again and again. "This is what we could reasonable do with the price point we had and to get to Market". Doing more and trying to satisfy everyone was not a goal nor should it be. Everything has design trade-offs and nothing is perfect. So it is what it is. If people want more, then they would have to pay more. At this point in time, an important milestone was met by Blackmagic - getting a box camera to market by NAB at a 3K price point. He was non committed about future upgrades (ND filters, etc) or what might be forth coming. But he went back to his mantra.
A lot of cope and caveats when you got to the FX6 and beyond. I like your point that most box cameras require accessories, and in fact if you are buying a box camera you want accessories… whether needed or not. The fx6 is a box camera, not an eng… in fact the Pyxis is basically the same form factor if not a little longer. I have a smallhd ultra 5, on corporate shots I often just roll with the built in… in a controlled environment for talking heads it’s totally fine… you didn’t need to fudge criteria or move the goal post to build up the Pyxis… it’s got gaps other cameras surpass it in… it’s also half the process of an fx6, plenty of money to buy a external nd and monitor and then some. Ps… this is more cope talking about dynamic range, it’s fine to tout 13 stops is adequate (in fact 35mm film is only 13, granted it’s full 14 stops are usable, where as digital you typically are going to only have access to a portion biased either for highlights or low light) but 13 stops isn’t “good”, good is relative to what’s available… and yes on an arri or other high dynamic range cameras, blowing out or crushing blacks becomes very difficult… it’s like 8bit vs 10bit color space… it’s very noticeable if you work with the footage. But if you expose properly on set and have access to the firepower to compete with the sun (which oddly your examples showing windows where definitely slipped and blown out) then 13 stops is indeed adequate, again, no need to cope or tear down the benefits that come with more expensive cameras to sell your point.
If you have to put out a video like this so soon after a camera's release, you know it's in trouble. Upside is,the Pro version will have the bells and whistles missing on this version.. whereupon the original one will simply fade away. Observation.. Blackmagic Design has slways had a love hate relationship with some of its customers.
if you've been shooting BM at all, the specs shouldn't be a surprise or an issue for you. imo low light performance has been perfectly fine since the 4k. you don't need more than 13 stops to shoots anything other than maybe VFX in which you're not using this camera anyway. almost all restrictions the camera has can be explained by the price. $3k is an absolutely stupid price for a box style, full frame cinema camera with SDI with a built in 6"(?) ac1 control monitor on the side. What is wrong with people, seriously?
If your product is generating hate comments, and you don't take it seriously, it's your problem, because all that hate comes from people wanting to buy a Blackmagic camera that should have been this release.
Young brother, this is my issue. RU-vid guys, content creators and run and gun shooters are the only ones in their panties. Guys making movies can't wait to get their hands on this camera. All that BS they're whining about is not an issues for a movie DP. Why? Because that camera is made for a controlled set/location. Means, properly lit scenes. These new camera shooters and RU-vid guys just want to point and shoot. That's not what this camera was designed for. That's what they refuse to accept. It's a freaking cinema camera. I've shot over 10 features films since 1996...and OG film cameras are on 12-14 stops. Why? Because they light the freaking scene. Hollywood DPs never go pass 400 ISO/ASA...so they don't give a f-#k about 50,000 ISO 😆😆 Only an amateur will have an issue with this camera. 🤷🏾
This era of prosumer videographers is insane they want to film “semi professional “ but dont want to solve anything on set. They dont want to light properly because they want a camera with the highest DR, they want the camera with the best lowlight performance. They want the camera mount of the prosumer camera they have just throw the most still lens they already have or will buy for cheap. They dont want sdi. They want the battery to be the one they uses. And so on… while you are complaining waiting for the company to drop the perfect camera that suits you and solve all the problems you are wasting time and not going out to shoot the best videos you can with wat you have. Instead of perfecting your skills you switching camera and gears every year saying the problem for you not being successful is your gear
I agree with you 1000%!! I wish I could give you a hundred thumbs up and I sub'd. I was and still might make a video on this same topic. Most of the ppl hating absolutely do not know what the are talking about and are just jumping on the click bate trend to get views. I personally would have loved to seen a re-hosed 6k pro in this form factor, but if they did that everyone would bitch about the sensor being to small. lol
About the ND’s, probably becomes a harder problem when you have a full frame senor. Ursa mini, Canon C70 and bmpcc had a crop-sensor. Testament to Sony for its innovation on full frame + ND
OMG, you have no knowledge how SDI works. If you have a 12G SDI signal, it is very easy to have a device make it into two 12G. You rolling shutter comment is nonsense. The gyro data will correct the lack of IBIS. This camera has rolling shutter and there is nothing in post that will correct it.
these black magic camera s are just repackage pocket 4ks processors with different sensors added to them. they use cheap tricks like cropping into the sensor, instead of down-sampling, to get lesser formats and more frame rates. so, if you have some noises at open gate, you ll have big popcorn noises of the same image crop to 1080 for examlpe. Black magic carmera s do have a good image given adequate lighting condition. Blackmagic 6K Pro Pocket or Panasonic LUMIX S5IIx seem like a better value than the Pyxis for now.
Is not hate, is not like we’re like add a screen, the screen is already there, just let it be articulated….sub 1000 cheap cameras can do that. Mostly for menu access if they sell a monitor you can control the camera problem solved
I think the problem is that none of the modular cameras at a pro level are putting articulating screens in them because there are people that simply don’t want them. ALSO THE STANDARD 6K has one for people that need an all in one solution.
