Great stuff.

It's really a great camera and with BRAW it could really shake things up in the filmmaking scene.

I preordered from CVP at May 1st and it looks like there still are a couple of hundred people before me.

The big side handle with power and ssd slot is really something.

It's a really cool line of accessories and prices seem reasonable.

I'd say that's the way to go with this camera, yes.

So the Pocket 4K fares 11.6 stops @iso400 by Cinema 5D's strict methodology, almost half a stop more than the old Pocket. That's pretty awesome.

Agreed. 120 and 240 fps from the GH5s are unusable for fiction due to the skipped lines. A nice thing to toy with but less more.

This board is so much fun.

Really nice.

It shouldn't be overlooked as a big pro that the Pocket 4K is a video/cine dedicated camera. Honestly, when using a GH5 I'm bothered by all the photo menus and controls I won't ever need to use. The P4K has got nice, beefy connections, a good menu and just the necessary buttons, I'm certainly will be more confident operating it than any hybrid camera.

You could have passed me your place in the line. ?

It looks like the Pocket 4K plays quite nicely with FC's Blackmagic Original Pocket Film profile.

Not bad.

I always thought the sensor was the same, and so was the dynamic range. The 2,5K was very good for getting a clean full HD with a OLPF filter. The sensor was 15.8mm wide, 3mm less than the Pocket 4K. Very nice.

I didn't. He did in his previous post. Anyway, cameras are just tools and by specs I consider the Pocket a capable cine camera that can do things the C200 can't.

I love the image coming off the C200, but it is a 7500$ camera. The Pocket 4K is a 1000$ cinema camera, with Resolve, a beefy 19mm wide sensor, very nice codecs, TC, mini canon, full HDMI, and it's small and has nice color, latitude and sensitivity. For me, doing mainly fiction work, is a no brainer.

Nothing fancy, a lumix 12-35, an hoya variND a zacuto loupe and a Rhode mic.

The Original Pocket was great for mimicking S16. I did this some years ago in El Salvador.

Dynamic range looks very limted in this video. Wonder of they just used the rec709 lut..

Any news from CVP or B&H?

That's great news.

You mean your camera is already in the UK? Did you preorder soon?
