Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Stops of dynamic range is amazing for such a small sensor. Its iso performance is not comparable to the 5d in low light but under adequate lighting or outdoor it's sharper with more detail than a full frame. Red epic shoots 5k, scarlet 4k. That sensor... Read More

This camera fits most situations that i will be shooting. There are an abundance of micro 4/3 lens available for this camera. First lens choice is the panasonic 12-35mm f2.

The interface is pretty intuitive and the learning curve for basic operation is pretty short. The only problem i have with the camera is how much it eats up battery life.

Overall, this camera is a true gem. I swear by them and they go nicely with this camera. This is why *'s love it.

Cons

The lowest iso it goes is 200asa up to 1600asa. The lcd screen is garbage and almost impossible to see in bright light shooting situations. The user interface is a bother to use.

Quality

It is an excellent pro video camera, easy to lug around and gets the job done.

-very short battery life, & external batteries add size/weight-not a low light friendly camera(bring lights!

Microphone quality bad (although jack provided for microphone input).

Price

You will learn a ton and at a very good price point.

4v en-el20 type lithium-ion easily obtainable at great price.

Keep in mind this camera is officially $500 off through the end of august, so you shouldn't be paying any more than $495 until then.

2 hour narrative films for the big screen on a low budget.

Shipping

Was saving to get the bmcc 4k which i still will get in a few weeks.

If it had been shipped with a quick start guide, it would have saved me time.

If you understand exposure it will come to you quickly.

Competitiveness

It works out great for us since it gives us new tools to choose from, and sometimes gets the other manufacturers to compete and... Read More

My next problem was that none of my video players would play the clips and i have tried a lot of them, not even my vegas pro wo... Read More

The bmpcc throws out 10-times less visual information than your dslr in video-mode.
