The buttons work well enough, though the ISO, shutter angle and WB buttons could do with being bigger. The interface is a joy to use, however, and puts the poky little menus on mirrorless and DSLR cameras to shame. With big buttons and simple swipes to go through settings screens, it’s easy to use.It’s easier to start with what the 6K G2 does not have relative to the 6K Pro than what it shares in common with that more powerful device. The 6K Pro has built-in neutral density (ND) filters, and the 6K G2 does not. The other big change is the addition of a second mini XLR port, which is something we personally have been wishing for as it allows for multiple camera placements (or stereo recording) without having to limit yourself to only using a 3.5mm mic if you want more than one audio source.

Blackmagic 6K G2 Review Roundup (BMPCC 6K 2nd Generation)

Being able to perform stabilization in the editing suite instead of in a separate piece of software — as is the case with Sony’s cameras, where a dedicated app called Catalyst Browse must be used for stabilization — makes for a faster workflow. Iris wheel and touchscreen slider for manual iris adjustment on electronically controllable lenses, iris button for instant auto iris settings on compatible lenses so no pixel is clipped in film mode. Scene average auto exposure in videomode. Screen Dimensions The ND filters in the 6K Pro are motorized, although not variable. That’s not uncommon, and the ND filters in the Sony FX series of cameras function similarly. But the fact they exist is really nice, as the mechanized ND filter makes on-the-fly adjustments easy and having the filter in the body means you can adjust incoming light for any lens mounted to the camera. Its price made it an excellent choice for students, new cinematographers, and users of higher-end gear that needed a b-camera or crash camera. However, it was not known for its robust feature set or durability (and it would very easily overheat), but it did everything you could need at that price and did it with a fantastic menu system to boot.

The BMPCC 6K G2 has a Canon EF mount, which makes it compatible with a vast array of lenses between Canon’s native glass and glass connected with adapters.
But this mount also highlights one of the system’s limitations compared to more technologically advanced hybrid cameras. The highlight of the physical design is the massive LCD screen which provides enough size to evaluate footage without an external reader. This also showcases the company’s excellent menu system, a clean, well-organized, and easy-to-use layout that I wish every company in the photo and video industry would copy. Iris wheel and touchscreen slider for manual aperture adjustments of electronically controllable lenses / Iris button for instant automatic aperture adjustments of compatible lenses x 2592, 4608 x 1920, 4096 x 2304, 4096 x 2160, 3840 x 2160, 3072 x 2560, 2048 x 1152, 2048 x 1080 and 1920 x 1080 The 6K G2 can take high-res still images of up to 21.2MP and are saved as fully uncompressed DNG frames for maximum image quality.

As you can see, the 6K continues to be a fairly substantial powerhouse of a cinema camera – especially if you’re not ready to spend considerably more for an Ursa or Canon C-Series. If you’re in the market for a new 6K and don’t need the pro, get the G2. The 6K G2 comes with an activation code for a full version of Davinci Resolve Studio. This is a professional video editing software that is used by many in Hollywood to edit high-end feature films, television shows, commercials and more. You can record video for longer while improving the composition of your shots, to put it simply.” – Engadget What’s Different with the BMPCC 6K Pro? The BMPCC 6K G2 does record internal gyroscope data that the Resolve editing suite can use for post-processing stabilization, but that comes with a caveat. Davinci Resolve Studio * will automatically find and sync the shots from all of the cameras so that you don’t need to spend hours doing it manually.
