      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.

      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.

    • @DakotaJ666
      @DakotaJ666  4 роки тому

      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.

    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.

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

      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.

    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.

    • @DakotaJ666
      @DakotaJ666  5 років тому

      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.

    • @KAREKINFPV
      @KAREKINFPV 5 років тому +1

      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

      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.
