      BMPCC is the clear winner here. You can make a 50 million dollar budget movie with a BMPCC6K and you automatically spend a few million bucks less cause most Red Cameras are being rented at such crazy prizes, when you buy the gear for the BMPCC6K you can spend the rest of the money on more shooting days or as a security cussion for something else. Of course dynamic range does a lot. And there is a huge difference but this is why most high budget production use Arri instead of even the Red cause it s not even on par with the Arri. I do not like the red dragon it is bulky, it is user unfriendly and actually you cannot shoot with it at 50K cause only the body. With BMPCC you spend a max of 4K for the body and a few lenses and you are good to go as a camera operator. for low and even some higher budget productions. Fuck the Red Camera.

    4:36 - Technically the BMPCC6K should win on the monitor because the Red doesn't have a built-in LCD, you had to buy it separately. You could also buy a monitor separately for the BMPCC6K that is much better than the Red's.

      The price, it comes with the editing program when you buy the camera, and it competes with Hollywood cameras. I understand that the RED is your camera but, it lost.
      People ain't walking around with $80,000. You said $50,000 in video, but I know all the attachments that comes with it and it isn't no $50,000 in total. That is just for the BODY! No screen, no, nothing!

    Just a little personal notation (for the record i love watching parker). RED doesnt have a monitor so RED wins the monitor point. BMPCC can survive being dropped but RED cant so RED gets the durability point. BRAW cant be used in premiere out of the box (but it can). Post and Grading were equal but personal habits made RED workflow easier so RED gets a point. BRAW file sizes are smaller but call it a draw. Can buy 20 bpmcc 6ks for the price of 1 red. Gentlemen, based on this video it looks like blackmagic destroys red in value.

      @PRIVATE This is beyond spot on. The review like many is great, but that you can use the BMPCC4K/6K for making movies, corporate videos, weddings, etc.. and many are, is a testament to the way the industry is moving. While it is always awesome seeing Red/Arri/Sony/Canon and so on release their $10K to $100K or more cameras, the fact is, the mass majority of people are able to afford BMPCC cameras and for the vast majority of projects it will be on par with high end cinema cameras for a fraction of the price. Many movies even purchase several BM cameras as B roll for things like mounting to cars, etc now since on large budgets they can be considered disposable. For me, I would shoot on BM all day over paying the ridiculous prices RED and others cost. Like you said, that is the old way of charging 100x more than the camera needs to cost for a few minor advantages that in the end, when viewed by us consumers on youtube or netflix.. is almost no discernible difference. Hell, most people today are watching content on their tiny ass phones.

    @judeokunvideo 4 роки тому +190

    All I see is bias towards the $50k camera. For its price the BMPCC 6K punches WAY ABOVE ITS WEIGHT. All the BMPCC 6K's 'loses' are easily remedied bar the dynamic range and frame rates.
    Battery - everyone in their right mind is going to hook it up to a vmount or external source, the LP-E6 is a bonus imo
    Crop factor - LucAdapter turning it near full frame soon. (optional i know)
    Post workflow - Davinci resolve is a recognised color grading software used by professionals comes free with Black Magic. BRAW now supported in Adobe Premiere Pro natively, runs smooth af.
    looks more like a 8-8 draw to me at least. I just think it doesn't sit well with people's egos that a camera so small and affordable is so close to the RED, hence why the unfair bias. Dynamic range and frame rates isn't enough to call it a 'clear winner' or the $47k plus price difference.
    But hey, maybe i'm wrong, just my two cents

    • @lunapictures7989
      @lunapictures7989 4 роки тому +5

      Q For weddings there is a need for a fast and reliable autofocus which blackmagic unfortunately does not have. I was using for the most part Sony a6300 but now it's a bit outdated so you should maybe consider Sony a6400 (or Sony a7iii). It has one of the best autofocus and if you go with a7iii you have also one of the best low light capabilities.
      I would also say that Canon could be good but in this price point I can't really recommend any of their cameras.
      But if you were using manual focus for weddings before and it worked blackmagic should be amazing due to image quality but honestly I would go with something with worse IQ but great af cuz IQ and sharpness doesn't matter if the subject is out of focus.
      Hope it helped a little bit ;) have a nice day

    What was this video? The footage from these cameras was so close to each other that I originally thought B camera was the Red.

    I mean, why even have a scoring system and try to declare a winner? What's the point to that in a comparison video like this if your aim is genuinely to so what the BBMP6K can do?

    I get that this is supposed to be a fun thing, but I really think you glossed over the ease of use. With the P6K you can double tap to enter 2x zoom, use your finger to move around the frame then pop out all in a matter of seconds. Even with assigning hot keys, doing something like that on a Red is hella clunky, and the delay can be super frustrating. There's tons of little things like that that certainly make it a more enjoyable experience. Also just curious why you choose to use Red Volts? The vast majority of Red owners I know only use em if they plan on hotswapping Vmounts. Just so pricey for the battery life.

If they listen to their clients and keep improving things as they usually do, Black Magic might overrun the market very soon. It is actually amazing what they have done. Only thing I am not sure it will perform great and no one is talking about is how well it performs in differetn weather and harsh temperature conditions. I say this cause even the Camcorders aren't really a thing anymore, they are built to last longer on shoots and on high as well as low temperatures which no one talks about. Whereas mirorrless cameras don't perform very well, they overheat fast and stop. and at very low temperatures they stop reacting. Which obviously what high end pro cameras are for in the end. Hence the price and the production. BMPCC and mirrorles and dslrs are more meant for the most normal environments.

    Apart from the external screen point, the Blackmagic's carbon-fibre reinforced material is not only strong, it absorbs impact better. So it keeps your internals better protected.

    Great Review guys but I feel like you kind of robbed the BMPCC6k on the Monitor portion of the comparison. Black magic comes with its monitor built in while the Red is a separate package purchase. The Red brain alone does not come with a monitor so the winner by default should have been the Pocket 6K. 2ndly on the workflow The Pocket comes with its own post production work horse of a now industry standard software Resolve for free. Simply because Premier uses Black Magic’s “FREE” BRAW plug in (Which I love by the way😁) should not be a determining factor especially when you take into account that the Pocket 6k shoots prores.

    RED 16 stops of DR 😂
    Oh these kids if they only knew what 13.5 stops means.. the pocket btw holds on more into the highlights than your RED if you knew how to use it.
    What I found funny was that they concluded the camera wasn’t something they’re going to use because they prefer the DSLR looking footage, ease of use etc etc but that same logic didn’t apply to their RED. What a useless video.
    The features hat matter significantly are:
    1. RED DR 13.5 vs P6K DR 13.2 at ISO 800 with half of a stop more above the middle gray than RED. So a fn tie on this one.
    2. Colour depth, both 12 bit. A fn tie again.
    3. Resolution, both 6K. You guessed it. Another fn tie.
    4. Frame rates, RED does more. RED wins one.
    5. Battery life, both need v mounts or smart power solutions. Tie.
    6. Portability. P6K wins
    7. Gimbal work. P6K wins
    8. Pro sound. P6K has xlr in with phantom power out. P6K wins
    9. Screen and monitoring. It’s a tie. They’re both good and if you need to spend as much as you spend for a RED monitor, you’d get a better monitor for the P6K.
    10. Reliability. P6K wins. No issues with any of them so far and plenty of issues with RED. Don’t even get me started on that one.
    11. Price. Well, P6K wins that one by a long mile.
    12. Ethics and prestige. BMD wins that one supporting Indy filmmakers by offering some of the most affordable tools for both production and post production. RED on the other hand is lately proven to be deceitful, lying through their teeth, intimidating all to satisfy what seems to be a spectacular greed.
    So, count the points and see who the winner is.
