At first I only saw “I’m going to be straight up honest” Haha , I figured you roasted the video but I was super surprised! Thank you so much for the kind words and for subscribing! I’m on a slight hiatus but do have some more videos in the pipeline! Again, seriously appreciate the comment!
Swoon Creative Collective Take it from a guy who made an entire $32,000 web series, grew an audience, was top of his game and just completely stopped. I ran out of videos and stopped putting out content for four years. It’s never too late to get back to uploading. And your stuff is great.
Leon Unity I just subbed to your channel too after checking out the video you did a year ago about being back on UA-cam! Definitely inspired me to keep putting out videos!
Quality over quantity. A lot of youtubers buy their audience through external services even if they dont say it..... So from me it is better to have a few people who truly appreciate the content than a bunch who just stack up the numbers.
regarding the card formatting. always format it on the camera itself, not in the computer. You will never have that issue again. been there, great review, thank you for ther info.
Dude! So glad you caught the pinch harmonic! It’s actually the dethbleep from Metalocalypse haha! Thanks for watching Lance! 🤛🏼 ETID....geniuses...ahhh!
Z Cam should sponsor you. Such a good video man. I deff want an E2 but Im concerned about the autofocus on it. I do a lot of automotive work with a gimbal so the autofocus is necessary. Hows the Autofocus? I subbed man. keep it up.
What interests me surprisingly with this is that it has both Pro Res for more high end productions and H.265/ H.264 for when I need to do longer videos such as corporate events. Simply cant record 3hrs worth of video in Pro Res lol. Something I felt was missing from the Blackmagics
Would this camera be good as the main camera to video live bands? Have you also used the wifi connection to view on an IPad? What would you recommend as additional small placement cameras to add further shots of a live band?
Hell yea! I would reach for the S6 at least though if you’re going to be doing a lot of low light although the E2 is a beast in low light, you’re limited by the sensor size. Either one will you treat you very kindly! If you’re doing multiple cameras, check out Fuji XT3s with an Atomos Ninja V
Being a BMPCC4K owner i have to say you´ve done a great review. However i also have to say that im continuing being a Blackmagic User :D I hate H.265 and i freaking love DCI 4K 60P RAW 12 bit! I see the potential of the Z2 (especcially the never versions) but i still think the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is better, concidering it comes for 1300€ WITH DaVinci Resolve. Great review. Keep on shooting!
one critic bro great video love the camera but idk if it’s my speaker or the background music but it’s overlapping on my end causing me to volume up to hear you but it just get more annoying
@@DakotaJ666 I wrote that comment before I finished the video. Great review btw. I'm only a GH5 user (fairly recent) but I'm loving it and I can see the Z-Cam E2 as an upgrade in the near future with all the video work I do!
What's so frustrating is that I viewed and researched and read all about BMPCC, Sony as7iii, A7c, FX3, Sony a6xxx, Canon M50ii, M6ii, R6, R5, and many others. I knew that I was merely agonizing over one hot turd over another..... and now its all over. I've fought my way up Hamburger Hill and through Death Valley. Swam through shark infested waters and walked a hundred miles through deep poo. This went on for weeks until I suddenly remembered somewhere in the corner of my cluttered mind - under the trash and behind an old memory or ten, reading something about a Z something or another. After making a few runs at the World Wide Web, I was finally reunited with planet Zcam.... I must go now....I have to cry....Thank you.
Cameron Glenn the 4k is 4:2:0 10 bit but honestly it looks amazing even when comparing it to the ProRes 4:2:2 I think it definitely would be a great upgrade coming from a GH5. Thanks for the kind words! Working on another video right now actually haha.
I used to shoot with a GH5 and made the move to the E2 a week ago. Let me tell you I did not regret anything about that, that small beast feels so much better than the GH5! Video files read a million times better on my old mac so editing is a lot faster, and rigging is a dream compared to the GH5
You seem to be everywhere in the comments, so I'll ask you. How is focus with this camera? Does it even have autofocus? If so, is it even remotely usable? Thanks. Also great work on the video, found you by searching "zcam" and sorting by upload date lol.
bobwinslow I try and respond to pretty much everyone haha! It does have autofocus and while I imagine it works a lot better with native lenses I haven’t tested it much because I use a speedbooster and full frame Canon glass while using manual focus 100% of the time. With the setup I have AF is totally unusable but I didn’t expect much when considering this camera.
Dang just found out about their camera giveaway. I'm in the market for a Z6 lol. Although now I know the Z8 is coming, going to wait til that comes out for the price drop on Z6. Great video by the way.
Benjamin Lu the A7iii is great, my wife has one, but if you don’t need the higher frame rates in 4k then you’re just fine. I’m not one to tell someone what they need or don’t need, it’s all up to how the camera would help you further. I prefer a video only camera because I don’t take photos and it offers ProRes internally.
The Sony FS5ii/Atomos Shogun Inferno.....I think the Z Cam has more functionality for live streaming although I never live stream so that's just a best guess.
Hey I want a part in the video when I come visit. I can play the crazy cousin! Oh wait I already have that part. Lol great job as always! Beautiful camera. I think I need to sell my Nikon D5500 now.
@@DakotaJ666 That's great to know! I'll look forward to keeping up with your videos. I'm on Sony currently, so I was thinking the e2 f6 was going to best fit my needs as I really need 4k 120.
Oh man, I'm trying to get my hands on a bmpcc4k but from purely spec, the E2 by a long ways, it will definitely be better once they release RAW as long as it's implemented well.
Swoon Creative Collective Thanks for replying bro. Really finding it hard deciding between the zcam e2, bmpcc4k and bmpcc6k. Lol. These companies just make purchasing a camera really stressful.
ifionu ebuka of course man, I know it can be a daunting task to pick a new camera and if it makes you feel any better I was in that spot a year ago with the GH5, bought it, hated it and ended up selling it. It definitely sucks because it seems like a new camera comes out every 2-3 months now but just make sure you’re happy with the camera and what you create and new stuff won’t matter!
Hey man, been looking at bargain Cine cameras. Have you shot with the Kinefinity Terra 4K? I'm curious how this would fare against that and what you would recommend?
I say wait a little bit, red has been teasing about a new camera... RED is actually releasing a new affordable camera under 5-6k$ for a 6k censor called RED Komodo.... just wait for it to be released then make a move on what you think is best for you
You, my friend, are awesome and I seriously appreciate you being the 1000th subscriber! Making a video about hitting 1000 and our upcoming road trip, will shout you out! Thank you again!
@@DakotaJ666 no problem. I can't believe you only have 1000 subscribers! Your quality overall and the skit in the beginning is absolutely golden. Can't wait to see you grow!
Does it shoot CinemaDNG? Does any camera anymore? Getting rid of CDNG is like Nikon saying, “we’re not supporting Nef anymore, we’re only using JPG. Sorry.
It doesn’t shoot CinemaDNG but they will be implementing their own iteration of RAW into this camera soon. My FS5ii/Atomos Shogun Inferno does CinemaDNG but, to be honest, I’ve never used it because of the crazy workflow.
Swoon Creative Collective if you purchase a BMPCC4K right now, it is impossible to get it to shoot CinemaDNG. I’ve been on the phone with support over half a dozen times trying to get them to send me an original version of the 4K that does allow for firmware downgrade. If you don’t shoot CinemaDNG you don’t know what your missing I guess. It’s like saying, just shoot in JPG and edit that. The BRAW is exactly like editing a JPG. Horrific. I started a petition to get CinemaDNG back on black magic. We should at least have the option.
@@KAREKINFPV And how you filed the petition, I also want to write to them. If they still made a 6k version in which the bayonet with a short working, for example mft or nex.
@@mikmongo8921 Sony is great! My wife has the A7iii and it's amazing! Great photos and great video! I mostly do video so I went with the XT3 for the 10 bit but the A7iii/a6400 and that series are all so great! Especially for the price!
Fun question, Is it technically work if it not Paid? I’m not saying that to be snobby because we all do things for free, but should it be called “Work” still?
Great job with this review, Cody. I finally had a chance to sit down and check it out. Really great info to consider. Curious how much you have used this camera since the review and how your impressions have changed over time. Hope to shoot with you again soon! -Michael T from Vegas
Nice review. This camera definitely gives you a lot for your money even though you gotta rig it out some to use it efficiently. Too many toys and enough time...and money :) Nice work!
Dang dude you pinned me down with that first recommendation. I bought an a7iii and I’m now selling all my photography stuff because I don’t use it and all I want to shoot is video. Might have to give this a go.
Still this, better battery life, form factor and higher frame rates in 4k. Also check out the s35, 6k and 8k versions coming in October. I don’t like how Blackmagic hasn’t even fulfilled the pocket 4k and they are already onto the next thing, not a good look.
@@DakotaJ666 you're right. They should have waited. The form factor of the zcam is better and I don't understand how they have not switched to npf battery for the new 6k camera lol.
What did you film this video with? The E2? And aren't the specs now 72 fps in Prores LT? Do you have the lastest firmware update? I wish 60 fps was Prores HQ like on the BMPCC4K
Shot most of the video with the E2 and all of the E2 B Roll was shot with the FS5ii/Atomos Shogun Inferno which we are considering selling for the new E2 models coming this fall!
Manic KM it’s a great time to buy cameras. Plenty of options and people are basically having a fire sale with their slightly used stuff to get the 6K. I love it.
Swoon Creative Collective yes, I’ve been doing videography with my canon m100 and I’m super surprised with what I have gotten with it. I can’t wait to get my future camera
I am doing wildlife Filmmaking. It's hobby. Please suggest me which zoom lens i should use canon 600mm is ii will work on this? Autofocus or manual focus? 240 fps is continuously? Or in brust mode?

Still this, better battery life, form factor and higher frame rates in 4k. Also check out the s35, 6k and 8k versions coming in October. I don’t like how Blackmagic hasn’t even fulfilled the pocket 4k and they are already onto the next thing, not a good look.
@@DakotaJ666 you're right. They should have waited. The form factor of the zcam is better and I don't understand how they have not switched to npf battery for the new 6k camera lol.
What did you film this video with? The E2? And aren't the specs now 72 fps in Prores LT? Do you have the lastest firmware update? I wish 60 fps was Prores HQ like on the BMPCC4K
Shot most of the video with the E2 and all of the E2 B Roll was shot with the FS5ii/Atomos Shogun Inferno which we are considering selling for the new E2 models coming this fall!
Now with 72fps that may have been a small oversight but I’ll check when I get near the camera. Definitely have latest firmware
Great review, you know want to make a video to compare this to the black magic :)
Gonna do a comparison between this and the bmpcc4k, not 6k though.
Swoon Creative Collective perfect, that’s the one that I’m prob going to end up getting.
Manic KM it’s a great time to buy cameras. Plenty of options and people are basically having a fire sale with their slightly used stuff to get the 6K. I love it.
Swoon Creative Collective yes, I’ve been doing videography with my canon m100 and I’m super surprised with what I have gotten with it. I can’t wait to get my future camera
You're a pro at this!
Thanks so much man but checked out your channel too and hot damn, you’re the pro!
@@DakotaJ666 I'm in So Cal. LA area. If you're ever around here, hit me up. @joentell on IG.
Just followed you! I’m in LA quite a bit, would be cool to link up!
Great review! Consider me subbed! Question for you; how did you customize your REC709 profile?
I'll definitely check when I'm near the camera and update you! Thanks for the sub!
what kind of spinning able is that?
MrAlwaysOnTen it’s actually a one off custom desk from a friend of mine! I had the idea and he made it happen!
Swoon Creative Collective aww man would he sell any or does he have any social media?
MrAlwaysOnTen he does mostly metal work but he might, I mean might, make another one if the price is right, @mankandiekreations
Ayyyy. Liking that container park mantis!!
Great review...
Thanks so much!
What about autofocus??? does it have some kind of autofocus?
Z cam is life
Heck yea it is! Can’t wait to get another one!
I am doing wildlife Filmmaking. It's hobby.
Please suggest me which zoom lens i should use canon 600mm is ii will work on this? Autofocus or manual focus? 240 fps is continuously? Or in brust mode?
Thanks for the video! Quick question. What are the two lights you use in the background at 6:05for the B-Roll shots?
Sean Connelly they are CameTV Andromeda RGBs 3 feet! I’m actually posting a comparison between them and the quasar RGBs next week!
Doesn't it do 4k 240 as well?
Nikil Ragav it unfortunately does not. 1080p @ 240fps is the highest frame rate it does.
Is it great water cinematography
Interesting.. I think I'll still stick with the BM and just get the 6k. Thanks for the review!
