JordanWright reacted to Mattias Burling in Nano-rigs - hand-held camera rigs that do it all and fit in your pocket
It's not going in any pocket but with the Ikan it's starting to be quite slim.

A few stills using the BMPCC 4K for a corporate promotional video. Shot in DCI 4K ProRes LT with the Tokina 28-70 2.6, Speedbooster XL (maybe a Tiffen VND on some of the shots.)

Gotta give that to the lens! I only used the built in Blackmagic film - extended video LUT!

Yes, since Resolve 15.1 BUT you want 15.2.3 or higher for Pocket 4K Blackmagic RAW support.

Those stills look great, but if you turn all the lights off, zoom in to 500%, strain your eyes and sit 2 inches away from the screen, the image really falls apart. Such a shame because the camera was so close to being perfect, but it's really just overpriced.

@JordanWright great images. I like the grade, you managed a clean, modern image with some character.

I may buy another one and sell my 'original' model to a cDNG'ist for a healthy profit!

JordanWright reacted to drm in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Hell. I already have three P4Ks. At a price below $1000, I might buy another one (or three...)
There are (obviously) some limitations with the P4Ks, but they produce fine images, especially considering the price. I mean, we can shoot (semi) RAW footage on affordable cameras on affordable media. We truly live in special times...

JordanWright got a reaction from Emanuel in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
I much refer images I get from the P4K than the GH5. Both are fantastic cameras but the P4K has much better colours, skin tones and dr to my eye... saying that trust your own judgement!

Ignoring the made up numbers here, in terms of debayer quality the method for cDNG is much older as not anywhere near as good as Blackmagic RAW. I see a lot of people mistake the artefacts of the DNG debayer as sharpness. Its not that the cDNG debayer is necessarily keeping more details, but it IS creating false detail. An interesting comparison was just posted here that's worth looking at :
https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=510320#p510320
Especially this image - what you're seeing on the DNG is not real information the DNG retained, it's CREATING it (falsely) and it can look like sharpness/detail when it's over areas of real detail, but it's a very "hard" and digital feeling look IMHO :
But also pay really close attention to the resolution image at the above link. You can see on the right hand side the artefacts between the red and yellow resolution lines and around the edges of the circle. These artefacts are not real detail or sharpness that you lose with Blackmagic RAW, they are created in error.
Something to consider as well is we get a lot of feedback from customers that 4.6K Blackmagic RAW still has more resolution than some "other" cameras 8K RAW images - likely because of strong optical low pass filtering that without could produce similar artefacts as shown in DNG.
The highlights and shadows sliders in cDNG are NOT debayering RAW controls and work on debayered data only. They are the exact same (mathematically) as the ones in the primaries tab and work exactly the same on Blackmagic RAW as the DNG RAW tab ones. I demonstrated this for someone on Facebook last year..

Pocket 4k joins The 400 Club.
Blackmagic should add it to their marketing.

JordanWright reacted to Mattias Burling in Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Not my experience, I got better looking footage with the older sensor in all lighting conditions. Specially in dim light (I shoot a lot of murky interiors and lights is not an option).
But its great that others like it and I'm happy for you
The more that gets to enjoy the Blackmagics the better. I might buy one again in a year or so when they can be had cheap on the used market.
One really positive thing I can say about the new sensor is that SOOC with a in camera LUT looks very good.

Not much plausible deniability about whether you have opened the case if you sent that in for repair.
Although I strongly suspect whoever did it would be fine with doing his own repairs anyway.

JordanWright got a reaction from dslnc in Blackmagic Pocket 4K media & power thread -- the best alternatives
Im thinking a couple of these for power at the moment, they are tiny and can charge via Usb-C so no need to bring an additional charger

JordanWright reacted to etidona in Full frame rival sales figures = grim reading for everyone vs Sony
Sony monopoly danger? Maybe
Do this market just needs to slow down?
Do we need to look at what we have from 2012 and realize it's good enough?
Do we have to sit back and watch the rise of smartphone cameras?
For now, I'm going to stick with my m43 gear. It's more than good enough, cheaper, lighter and gives me a really different aesthetic.

JordanWright reacted to Towd in Panasonic GH5 - all is revealed!
If you guys are into manual focus primes, I'm really impressed by the Meike 25mm t2.2, and I'd imagine their new 16mm is just as good. It's very well built, incredibly sharp, and has a beautiful out of focus rendition. Having always wanted to try some Veydra primes, I couldn't resist the chance to test out the Meike for the $330 price tag.
If you look at Veydra's performance in some MTF tests from Lens Rentals, they put some Zeiss CP.2s to shame. Even at T2.2 they look to just edge out the best Pany-Leica and Olympus pro glass stopped down to F 2.8.
Some links to compare MTF tests:

https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2018/03/finally-some-more-m43-mtf-testing-are-the-40s-fabulous/
I'm currently in the post hell of a large project I'm wrapping, and will not get a chance to really test the lens out for a while, but I've been towing my GH5 with the Meike around and shooting a few random things when I get a moment. Here's a few frame grabs from Resolve. The horse was shot around T4-5.6. The others were wide open. Everything was shot in V-log with a quickie color grade so I could see what I was looking at. No sharpening in camera or post.
Based on how happy I am with the Meike, I might end up collecting a few of these if Veydra doesn't make a return to producing lenses.
