Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (CINECAMPOCHDEF06P)

The public name on my profile is my Dad, ignore that.I'm a Film student at UWM and I needed a powerful camera for some upcoming projects. I've used nearly a dozen different cameras around this price range and the 6K Pro has been magical. It's a fantastic piece of equipment.It came with some minor sensor damage and the sensor cap was chipped(I'll add pictures before I ship it back). Everything seemed new and worked properly besides the damage. I'm going to make a return and buy another.Great purchase, I just got unlucky.

I've been looking for a video camera that can run all day without overheating or filling up SD cards. I don't need autofocus but I DO need auto exposure of some kind as the lighting changes constantly and it's not always manned. This fits the bill- ALMOST.I record on a 2TB ssd (T5) at the lowest quality 4k and it's still stunning footage. I replaced both my old cameras now after getting a second bmd 6k pro. I just use canon dslr lenses and it's fine...Watch out for auto exposure on the Iris and Shutter (NO AUTO ISO). If your scene changes in exposure even a little you have to cut the scene to adjust the settings for the new exposure and start recording again unless you want a HARSH jump in the shutter speed/angle or aperture during your clip. Alternately, in post you can split the clip and adjust for the changes in exposure settings, but that's just more work.This camera desperately needs some smoothing of these transition as you adjusts manually or automatically during lighting changes. Good luck going outside from inside without it looking like you're falling down the stairs with the staggering jumps from one shutter speed to the next. If you have Cine lenses and you don't mind manually adjusting aperture/ iris for every possible lighting change (which would NEVER work for me since my iris setting is extremely important) then have fun, this will work for you. For me a cloud going in front of the sun for a moment in the middle of a shot basically ruins it. This camera is NOT design for scenes you can't shoot again and again. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of editing my videos one frame at a time for a month, so if this is you, keep looking!This isn't meant to be a burn of the camera, it does exactly what it's supposed to do really, really well for the price, but for ANYONE who is coming from a pro video camera or DSLR these shortcoming may surprise you. Those who have been shooting cinema cameras seem to be surprised that everyone doesn't know about these shortcomings, so you'll have trouble getting your questions answered on Black Magic forums, especially if you call them shortcomings!UPDATEI'm looking to replace these now, I have basically a studio type setup outdoors and the cameras aren't manned, so the useless AUTO features are just causing too much trouble. The main problem recently is there no exposure compensation or spot metering either, so even though auto shutter works ok if the white background gets too bright the subject in focus is blacked out. Can't fix that in post. My Sony 6400 would never let me down in any of these ways, but..... it overheats as does EVERY other camera if it's running for 8 hours and it gets over 80 degrees out.

I use this camera predominantly for Insight in my studio, I have 6k G2 on another side, I have 4k, and the Pro I got only in case I go to film anything outside just to have these internal NDs but it's a beast, the quality is insane.

Arrived on time and loving this camera. I’ve been working with other BMD gear for years and now have a camera that works with my BMD Studio 4K and perfect for our higher end productions.I do recommend getting additional batteries.I’ve been in production for over 30 years and this has a lot of options and a very nice picture. The internal ND filters remind me of my Sony VX 1000 which had internal ND Filters

Me gustó mucho la cámara es recomendable

The picture quality makes it a good companion to the URSA G2 4.6K

This camera is so perfect I almost don’t believe it’s real. Really the only thing that I don’t like about it is that you have to buy all these other things for it. i’ve been having the same camera for six years and this is my first time upgrading and it was well worth it.

Son dos semanas que tengo la cámara y en este tiempo grabé algunos vídeos probando formatos y exposiciones y solo puedo decir que valió la pena la inversión.
