For most people 3:1 should be great, and many shoot in 5:1 or even higher. What kind of 4K do you get anyway? Camera If high-speed shooting is important up to 60p, then this is your camera. The Blackmagic Pocket 4K has an advantage here, both in dynamic range as well as maximum frame rate in 4K. What about frame rates? Here’s the data: Camera For those looking to emulate the film look with cine lenses, this is still the better option. If this were true (not verified or confirmed by Sigma), the camera is still a Super35mm-sized sensor in 4K. There is also a rumor that the Sigma fp might crop in 4K mode. The Pocket Camera 4K has dual native ISO, though as I’ve shown in my tests it’s not worth much, so it doesn’t factor in this comparison. ISO-wise they are similar, though because the fp is a full frame camera it will be better in low light, just given the size of the photo sites. Here’s how the camera sensors compare: Camera

Even if the Sigma fp has a few more accessories, you get the full version of Davinci Resolve ($299) with the BMPCC 4K.īut we’re just getting started.

This would make it hard for filmmakers looking to purchase a low-budget cinema camera for their short film, feature film or web series. The Sigma fp is actually pocketable, and it has a full frame sensor.Īt the time of writing the price of the Sigma fp hasn’t been announced, but I’d be surprised if it isn’t close to the BMPCC 4K. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The Blackmagic Design Pocket Camera 4K ( Amazon, B&H) is supposed to be a “pocket” cinema camera, but it isn’t (unless you’re talking giant pockets).
