![]() The choice of a Sony NP-F battery is widely seen as a welcome upgrade, although it’s limited to the small NP-F570 pattern, offering a modest 22% improvement in capacity, depending on exactly whose batteries you buy, over the LP-E6 used in the non-Pro camera. There's a lot back there, although it'd be nice to have other lens mount options. The detachable top-mounting EVF – not supplied as part of this review – is a nice idea, and it does articulate to make it a lot more useful than common fixed viewfinders on cameras of this layout. Now that's what I call a sensibly-placed start button.įrom a practical point of view, the most valuable improvements on the BMPCC 6K Pro are (no surprise) the ND filters and the improved tiltable display some sources call it HDR, although outside in the sun it’s really just about having as much contrast and brightness as the thing can muster, and it now tilts. The price is around £500 higher than the original 6K pocket camera, but we can be clear upfront that yes, if you’re interested in this sort of camera, it is worth paying that extra money. The bigger and more interesting question is whether the 6K Pro is the sort of camera you need for what you do? It’s an unconventional beast something that approaches stills ergonomics from the direction of cinematography, as opposed to approaching cinematography from the direction of stills like transitional, video-capable stills cameras do. ![]() The BMPCC 6K Pro is big enough to make that sort of accidental laundry incident unlikely, although it's compact enough to avoid standing out in a crowd. It’s also not nearly as small as the earliest incarnations of the range, which you really could slide into a reasonably capacious pocket and lamentably overlook until the washing machine starts making a loud clanking sound during the spin cycle. ![]() For today’s purposes, we’ll call it the BMPCC 6K Pro, but while we can shrink the name we can’t shrink the camera, which is, while fairly compact, not nearly as pocket-sized as that name suggests. ![]() The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro has a thirteen-syllable title. The BMPCC 6K Pro is Blackmagic Design's latest iteration of the Pocket Cinema Camera series. ![]()
