We take a deep dive into the RAW capabilities of the camera, as well as how we achieved ideal results from our test clips and what caveats users need to be aware of. RAW video is extremely powerful for non-degrading corrections to color and exposure. ProRes is awesome because it records uncompressed video, which may not offer as much latitude for editing and correction in post as RAW, but still preserves basically the highest level of image quality and allows for a less-intensive video editing workflow. Take a look at our mesmerizing BMPCC4K Test Footage to see the cinematic power produced by this pocket-sized video platform.PRORES FOR EASY VIDEO, RAW FOR ADVANCED The BMPCC4K offers two options for video recording: ProRes and RAW.

Read on for a complete breakdown of how the BMPCC4K stacks up against similar 4K 60p video systems, and what essential details underwater video shooters need to know about this camera. Many of the features that make the BMPCC4K so unique and powerful also carry some significant caveats and need-to-know workflow details, especially in the post-production stage. Our review focuses primarily on the BMPCC4K. Our testing was only performed with the BMPCC4K, but we will include comparisons where relevant if considering the 6K option. The 6K version uses a Super 35 sensor and Canon EF Mount lenses, which overall offer more resolution and a wider variety of high-end optics to use. There’s also a companion model to this camera with an even higher resolution sensor: the BMPCC6K. It possesses a unique combination of Micro Four Thirds sensor/lens system and the ability to shoot RAW video, resulting in a camera that is portable, affordable, and produces some of the best video image quality that we've ever seen from a camera in this budget range. THE MOST CINEMATIC VIDEO FROM A HANDHELD CAMERA The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (or BMPCC4K for short) is one of the best cameras ever for capturing cinematic 4K 60p video.
