Rated 5 out of 5

Great product

I was very pleased with this camera! It was on a considerable sale with the new model announcements and I've been looking to upgrade for quite some time now. With my attempt to buy secondhand falling through, I was very pleased to go with Adorama

Best Full Frame for the price

Epic unboxing video: https://youtu.be/0T-r3bwxbT0?si=dv9ab875274XfbYl This camera is not a low light king but with the right lighting and/or shooting with sunlight the image top tier in its price range. Although some may not agree, the camera form factor is actually very nice to shoot with. The huge screen on the back is great for getting focus which you'll need because this camera doesn't have continuous auto focus. I'm a fan of manual focus and feel like it's more gratifying but just something that takes practice. Battery life isn't great so plan to buy more or a V mount situation. The 6k Full Frame L mount gives you a lot of options for lenses and adapters to other mounts plus it's awesome to be able to shoot Open Gate, 2:4:1, s35 modes and more. A huge plus is shooting in Braw and with the added value of getting Davinci Resolve Studio with the camera for free, it's a killer deal!

BMCC6K

Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K

Brings all the key features we know and love about the pocket version, but now in Blackmagic’s first full-frame L-Mount design. It has a massive 6K sensor with a custom-designed optical low-pass filter for optimal sensor matching. The camera can record in Blackmagic RAW and H.264 proxies simultaneously and supports vertical aspect ratios, making it versatile for various shooting scenarios — from feature films to social media content. With 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600, it excels in diverse lighting conditions. The camera can also now record to CFexpress cards or external SSDs, offering post-production-friendly file formats.

BMCC6K

Get the "Hollywood Look" with Digital Film!

Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K has the professional features you need for feature film, television programming and documentaries, however now this same quality can be used to create cinematic content for social media, YouTube videos and more! You get the same features found on high end digital film cameras, allowing capture of deeper colors, higher image detail and a wider dynamic range between the brightest highlights and deepest shadows. It's the reason why feature films look so amazing and now you can get the same high end production values for any kind of work. Imagine shooting with large format digital film on low budget independent films, TV commercials or even corporate video!

BMCC6K

Large Format Cinematic Digital Film Sensor!

Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features a massive full frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032. That's almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor and allows you to shoot with a shallow depth of field or to use anamorphic lenses uncropped for a true cinematic look. Whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or in almost no light at all, the 13 stops of dynamic range with dual native ISO up to 25,600 provide stunning low noise images in all lighting conditions. Plus you can shoot up to 36 fps at full sensor resolution or 120 fps windowed. This amazing sensor combined with Blackmagic color science means you get the same imaging technology as expensive digital cinema cameras.

BMCC6K

Full Frame Flexibility

The large full frame sensor in Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K lets you work in a variety of film formats and aspect ratios without sacrificing quality! Using the full area of the sensor gives you a unique open gate 3:2 image which also lets you reframe your shots in post production. The large 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. You can even use the classic Super 35 sized window on the sensor to create an instant ‘close up’ version of your shot that fits seamlessly with open gate footage. All this lets you create distinctive cinematic content in the highest quality!

BMCC6K

Next Generation LMount!

Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features an L-Mount, an advanced lens mount designed to accommodate full frame sensors while ensuring compatibility with new and vintage lenses! With a large diameter of 51.6mm, L-Mount works with the latest full frame lenses from manufacturers such as Leica, Panasonic and Sigma. Plus, a very short flange distance of only 20mm means you can easily add adapters for a variety of lens mounts without impacting image quality. Imagine using modern high speed lenses for sharp, precise images on one shoot and then shooting a period drama with vintage photographic lenses! With L-Mount, you get a single mount that works with virtually any lens for unlimited creative choice!

Multiple Resolutions and Frame Rates

BMCC6K

Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K can shoot in all standard resolutions and frame rates from HD up to DCI 4K and even 6K. You can even shoot stills at 24.6 megapixels! Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K will shoot up to 36 fps at 6048 x 4032 3:2 open gate or 60 fps at 6048 x 2520 2.4:1 and 60 fps at 4096 x 2160 4K DCI.

BMCC6K

For higher frame rates you can window the sensor and shoot up to 100 fps at 2112 x 1184 Super 16. You can even work in true anamorphic 6:5 at much higher resolutions than other cameras using anamorphic lenses in 4.8K 24 fps at 4838 x 4032. You can even shoot 120 fps in 1080HD!

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate Composite

The elegant design of Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K packs an incredible number of high end digital film features into a miniaturized, handheld design based on the Pocket Cinema Camera platform. Made from lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite, the camera has a multifunction handgrip with all controls for recording, ISO, WB and shutter angle right at your fingertips.

BMCC6K

Because it's an advanced digital film camera, the sensor is designed to reduce thermal noise allowing cleaner shadows and higher ISO.

BMCC6K

Large 5" LCD makes it possible to get perfect focus at 6K resolution. You also get a removable battery door, 4 shock proof microphones, heavy duty lens mount and built in speaker.

BMCC6K

Multifunction Grip with Fingertip Controls!

Fingertip Shooting Controls

The front and top of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features record start/stop and still photo buttons along with dedicated controls for iris, ISO, white balance and shutter speed. The main power switch is located on the top next to a row of 3 customizable function buttons.

BMCC6K

Back Panel Controls

Conveniently placed below the right thumb rest, you can quickly change shooting speed with the high frame rate button, zoom into the image with the magnifying glass, access setup menus and quickly play back shots for review.

Shoot in Vertical Aspect Ratio!

Now you can easily create cinematic content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and more! Simply rotate the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K to shoot vertical aspect ratios such as 9:16 and 4:5. The on screen HUD rotates so critical information, such as frame rate, shutter angle and frame guides, are easy to view, even when the camera’s turned upside down! You can even switch on frame guides so important details stay in shot for different aspect ratios. When you import your files into DaVinci Resolve, clips are automatically tagged as vertical so they appear correctly in your timeline. Once you’ve finished your project, it’s easy to upload to your channel with direct exporting to TikTok and YouTube!

BMCC6K

Touchscreen for Fast Setup

The large LCD touchscreen displays critical information on the heads up display, or HUD, as well as access to camera setup menus. The HUD lets you see and adjust settings such as the frame rate, iris, timecode, shutter angle, white balance, ISO, audio levels and more with a single tap. You can show or hide the HUD by simply swiping up or down. Adjust settings such as white balance simply by touching the WB indicator, or change the audio levels by touching the audio meters. Everything is interactive, so you can tap any item and instantly change settings without searching through confusing menus! You can also access settings such as the digital slate, to quickly add metadata to any shot.

BMCC6K

4 Built-in Microphones and Professional Audio Inputs

With professional, high fidelity audio recording built in you'll never have to carry around a separate sound recorder again! Blackmagic Cinema Camera features 2 mini XLR inputs with 48 volts of phantom power for connecting professional microphones such as lapel mics and booms. These mini XLR connections allow you to record 2 separate audio tracks using 2 mics, without an external mixer. The four built in mics have an extremely low noise floor and are shock and wind resistant, capturing great sound in any location. There’s also a 3.5mm audio input for connecting video camera microphones, along with a built in speaker for playback and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Record to CFexpress Cards or External Disks!

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features a built in CFexpress card recorder, and a USB-C expansion port for recording direct to external flash media disks or an SSD. CFexpress media are more durable and faster than even older media so are perfect for recording full resolution, 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files. Imagine capturing over an hour of full resolution 6K images on a single 256GB CFexpress card! The very high speed of CFexpress cards makes them perfect for mounting on your computer and editing directly from them using the included DaVinci Resolve Studio software!

BMCC6K

Professional Connections for Custom Rigs!

Though small and portable, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features a wide range of connections for audio, monitoring, power and more. The camera includes a full size HDMI connector for monitoring with support for HDR and clean 10-bit output. That means you can connect an HDMI display for on set monitoring of images, with or without overlays that show critical information and camera status. There’s also mini XLR connections with 48 volt phantom power for attaching professional microphones, a 3.5 mm video camera style microphone input, headphone connection and a professional locking DC power connector! The USB-C connection lets you connect and record direct to your media disk!
