May I ask about your grading process? hey thanks! so i try to do the ole expose to the right technique and I use leeming lut profiles/luts to get me close. then slap a little custom tone at the end that i came up with! when everythings exposed right damn its just beautiful but when i end up with some weird exposures and off white balances it can be a super bear to color correct haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the 6k wins out by a small but noticeable margin. Both cameras are really impressive though, the highlight recovery tool in resolve is incredible.

MeanRevert 172 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 That is really interesting. I thought both cameras were the same except for resolution and mount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It really goes toe to toe with almost any camera out there. TurboRat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd get the Pocket 4k, Reasons: Larger FOV with speedbooster (1.3 crop vs 1.6), ability to shoot 4k with no crop(don't want 6k all the time). So it depends on the person. The Pocket 6k has better color science, higher resolution, more dynamic range. Big downsides for me is you can't shoot non cropped 4k RAW and of course no prores 6k(not as big of deal), worse internal battery life(if you'll use internal batteries), EF mount (could be good or bad?). If you don't make a ton of your camera purchases the Pocket 4k could save you 1k that could go to rigging it out (or buying food to live lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been tempted to upgrade my P4K to P6K many times. But, I always stop when I see that the P6K can't do 4K/120 although I dig that its anamorphic has more resolution than the P4K.

arant.joseph 3 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Maybe this is old news for this thread, but Juan Melara just put out a powergrade color matching the P4K to an Alexa. https://juanmelara.com.au/products/bmpcc-4k-to-alexa-powergrade-and-luts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
independent 119 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Pocket 4K is an incredible value. That being said, the pocket 6k can be a worthwhile upgrade - it was for me. The increased amount of detail (more than double the pixels) is not trivial. If you have a 5K monitor you can see the difference; the pocket 4K looks soft and slightly out of focus in comparison. The low light is also noticeably better. The larger sensor helps, but 6K downscaled to 4K really reduces noise and gives you a much cleaner image. You can get a Speedbooster for the 4K, but that brings the price close to the 6K. Of course, some complain about the lens mount, but I haven’t found it an issue considering the availability, range, and variety of EF (and EF-S) lenses from various manufacturers. I’ve found the Canon 10-18mm and 18-135mm nano usm to be great lightweight, affordable, stabilized lenses. For fast and wide, the sigma 20mm 1.4 has been stellar.

The Pocket 6k does give a better image. However a speedbooster can be had for $200 which is still much less than the Pocket 6k with wider field of view and the option to do 4k RAW without having to crop in on the sensor. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I was debating between the two but ended up with the URSA mini Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Kieley 318 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 So I read back in October that the BMPCC 4k added at 2.6k crop mode that "suitable for Super 16mm lenses" according to cinema5D. Has anyone used this? Is it a proper s16 crop or something fairly close? With a tax return coming, I'm thinking of upgrading from the BMMCC, which I'm using with my beloved vintage c-mount lenses, and I don't want to buy more lenses to cover the full sensor). I'm curious to hear from anyone who has had both the Micro and P4K. I'm thinking of going for the P4K for the low light and higher res (2.6K also seems optimal for going higher res but not as high as 4K, to save card/drive space and possibly use the same cards from the Micro. I've seen people online able to get 12:1 raw on the 95mbps Extreme Pros). The Micro has a wonderful image most of the time, but some things that bother me about it. mercer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its close enough for jazz. mercer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I asked a similar question a few pages back. It seems the crop is a little more than the Micro... I think a 3x crop... so it's closer to 16mm... which opens up some possible c-mount 2/3" zoom lenses. That 2.6K resolution interests me a lot as well... downscaled to 2K, it could really have that "Alexa look." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
