On August 9, Blackmagic Design has launched a new Pocket Film Camera Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K for US$2,495. As a follow-up to the 4K video powerhouse it released last year, the 6K has a similar look and size to the 4K, such as dual native ISO up to 25,600, 13 stops of dynamic range, 3D LUT support, a large, bright 5" screen, and professional audio support with four microphones, and all the same ports and media features. But now it features a Canon EF mount.

BMPCC 6K camera has a full Super 35 size HDR picture sensor records resolutions up to 6144 x 3456 at 50 fps. It can document in industry-standard 10-bit Apple ProRes as much as 4K or in 12-bit Blackmagic RAW video — a format that may protect the quality of sensor data — as much as 6K. Additionally, it may record full-resolution videos at up to 60fps.

The camera’s EF lens mount operates with lenses from various brands like Canon, Sigma, and Zeiss so that you can use your present collection. And from its larger sensor and EF mount, you may be able to capture photographs with a more superficial depth of field than its predecessor can, with themes that stand out more against a blurred background.
