Great cinema camera for pro work

By Christopher L.

The Blackmagic Pyxis is a fantastic camera with exceptional image quality and intuitive controls. It's a great tool for professional workflows and delivers stunning results. The only downside I've encountered is that the V-mount doesn't accurately read the battery percentage, which can be inconvenient during shoots. Aside from that, it's a reliable and powerful piece of equipment. Overall, highly recommended for anyone in need of a high-performance camera with just a minor drawback. !

What a masterpiece of a camera. This camera is indeed going down in the history of Blackmagic as a turning point for camera design. It's very light and smaller than I expected. There are so many possibilities when it comes to rigging this camera. The only negative thing is the monitor placement, which could be remedied with an external monitor. I'm happy to have at least this monitor because many boxed cameras don't have one, so it's still winning!

Enhance your filmmaking experience with the PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera, EF Mount, a state-of-the-art digital film camera that delivers precise skin tones and rich organic colors. This next-generation camera is designed for maximum customizability, allowing you to build the perfect camera rig for your production needs.

The PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera features a full-frame 36 x 24mm 6K sensor with a wide dynamic range, coupled with a built-in optical low pass filter, designed to perfectly match the sensor.

This high-end camera is equipped with 2 x CFexpress media recorders and Ethernet for seamless media sharing to Blackmagic Cloud. It also offers simultaneous recording of both 12-bit Blackmagic RAW and extremely compact H.264 proxies files, making it a powerhouse of functionality.

The compact body of the PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera is crafted from precision CNC machined aerospace aluminum, ensuring it is lightweight yet robust. It can be easily mounted on a variety of camera rigs such as cranes, gimbals, or drones.

The PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera is designed to deliver the "Hollywood Look" with digital film. It offers professional features needed for feature film, television programming, and documentaries. Now, this same quality can be used to create cinematic content for social media, YouTube videos, and more.

The camera features a massive full-frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032, almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor. This allows you to shoot with a shallow depth of field or use anamorphic lenses uncropped for a true cinematic look. The 13 stops of dynamic range with dual native ISO up to 25,600 provide stunning low noise images in all lighting conditions.

The large full-frame sensor in the PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera allows you to work in a variety of film formats and aspect ratios without sacrificing quality. The sensor also lets you work in true 6:5 anamorphic without cropping, making widescreen cinematic images more detailed and in higher resolution than previously possible.

The PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera can shoot in all standard resolutions and frame rates from HD up to DCI 4K and even 6K. It also features a large 4" LCD monitor, perfect for monitoring and reviewing shots on set. The logical design of the camera puts important functions such as ISO, WB, and shutter at your fingertips with both touchscreen and physical controls.

The camera records in Blackmagic RAW to preserve control of detail, exposure, and color during post-production. It also records HD H.264 proxies in real time, making it easy to share media around the world in minutes. The PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera features two built-in CFexpress card recorders, and a USB-C expansion port for recording direct to external flash media disks or an SSD.

In conclusion, the PYXIS 6K Cinema Camera, EF Mount is a versatile, high-quality, and customizable camera that is designed to meet the needs of professional filmmakers and content creators.
