Review on Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K (CineCam Poch Def 6K) by Jon Robertson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great footage and reliable camera - after fixing screen defect

Only the second time with the camera in our studio and the screen failed. Horizontal lines are everywhere. The seller refused to take it back after a month. Blackmagic agreed to fix it (they were really nice) but we had to pay $50 to ship the camera to them. It seems unfair to pay for a seemingly defective camera. Now we have disabled the camera. Also, we really liked the footage we received from a shoot. I will update over time. Update 4/6/20: It took about a month and several follow-ups to get our camera back from the manufacturer. But since then it has put on a solid performance. We've paired it with the lens below and use this setup for almost everything we do in the studio: Sigma 18-35mm T2 High-Speed Zoom Lens (Canon, US version) https://www. amazon.com/dp/B072W8D4XP/link=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_FvB2EbRFQYT02

Pros

Brags about stills, has stills button to bad it doesn’t have a preview feature for them.
