I guess it comes down to, is the 4k too old, does it have the same options for recording as the 6k (from 4k and 1080p specifically).Īlso, if I get an SSD for this that is approved for 5:1 RAW files, would it work for 8:1 and 12:1 too? Would those be OK for general home viewing, or should I shoot 5:1?Įdit: I looked up the specs, and it looks like the 6k does not support 4k Raw. The real issues that I see are that the output video in 4k is less than sharp, the camera might be outdated sooner, and the files may or may be too big or a pain to edit. We don't need wide shots, just telephoto from a balcony (and then wider ones for interviews, etc, but we can get a wide lens for that). That seems to mean either really hard to edit, or huge file outputs.īasically, the 4k seems like a perfect camera for this use case. The 4k output is softer than the 6k because it is a smaller sensor and not down-sampled.ĭepending on updates, it might not be able to use the better. It is older (the tech is old and the updates will stop sooner than the 6k) It has 4k raw output, while the 6k doesn't (or did they update it to have 4k raw output?)
It might have cheaper compatible SSD drives, since it is a lower quality output (4k, not 6k)
It can use a speed booster to get wider shots if necessary. It has a more versatile mount (MFT) and a bigger crop factor, meaning I can get smaller, cheaper lenses to work on it. It is cheaper, meaning I can get something else for that money. I think that the BMPCC 4K is a better camera for this than the 6k. I used my equipment for reference, but will not be getting the same stuff for their final production system. I am buying them their own equipment, not using my own. I am taking audio from the sound board and running a cable to the balcony where one camera will be (got an update that they only want one camera for now, will upgrade later if needed/wanted.) I am trying to understand BM cameras and which one to get. Recap, and for those who didn't see my posts from yesterday, I am working with a church to get them set up for video, and on track to stream in the future. I know, I should make up my mind, but having looked at a comparison, I think maybe the 4k is a better fit than the 6k.
