    Edward Zaee reacted to pinger007 in First ProRes files from the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera released   
    If this is the kind of "realistic" footage a person ends up with, then they either don't have a clue on how to shoot, or they're an editor/colorist working on an undergrad student film.  :P
     
    And I understand that JB is busy, but seriously.  I'm not expecting a huge RED production with all the glitz and glamour, but a little effort would not go unappreciated.  I've had one preordered from day one, but I'm up for ordering several more if quality footage exists for me to convince the investors with...  it just doesn't make sense to put out footage like this.

    I'm sorry to say it, but all John Brawley's videos look like s.....   Why the hell Blackmagic gave him a test camera?

    Edward Zaee reacted to Bruno in Blackmagic price drop by a third on Cinema Camera and active mount mFT camera on the way   
    I think the price was too close to the 4K camera...
     
    The 4k camera offers not only increased resolution, but also a s35 sensor size (very welcome) and compressed raw (much more manageable files), two serious downsides to the original camera, so I guess that with price tags of $3k vs $4k, the "old" camera would not seem that appealing anymore. The new price tag separates it into a different segment and now the 3 different models all have their own place in the market. Definitely $2k is a great price, even $2500 would have been great!
     
    For owners bitching about the price drop, they need to know this is what happens, it's how it goes! People keep complaining that camera makers are not giving them all they could, keeping features out and inflating prices with tiny updates, but when someone has the balls to make a price cut like this and actually offer the technology as cheap as they possibly can, then their own personal interests come up and they quickly point the finger and feel ripped off. It's evolution, deal with it!
     
    I also don't think this affects the Pocket camera, I never saw them as competing products, if anything, the pocket camera is still a better choice, as the sensor size matches the mount better, you can use 16mm glass, you get an active mount and you get compressed raw.
     
    Now they just need to add compressed raw to the BMCC.
    (Audio levels on ALL camera models would be great too, but it seems to be asking for too much, they'll probably release a 6k camera for $500 before that happens :)  )

    Edward Zaee reacted to riccardocovino in An incredible achievement - Roald Christessen builds his own raw cinema camera and grading software   
    I think it's really a great effort and an incredible result, althought I don't see a commercial future for it.
     
    For half the price BM gives 4k with DaVinci Resolve 10.. who would risk paying double for a one man product?
     
    Respect for the project, even if I wouldn't buy it.

    this is PB's april's fool in 2010, saying there was a Canon firmware upgrade giving RAW :D
     
    the funniest part is when he writes: "Canon have done exactly what we wanted. RAW baby, RAW! "

    KomputerBay is your friend. These El Cheapo CF cards are amazing for the money. I've had no issues (albiet short term so far) with mine which I bought for the 1D C shoot a few weeks ago. 64GB 1000x one cost me just 80 euros.
