Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2.
Super 35 sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, internal Blackmagic RAW, and a free copy of DaVinci Resolve Studio. Unmatched value in cinema.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The BMPCC 6K G2 remains the best value proposition in cinema cameras. The image quality rivals cameras costing three to five times more, and the included DaVinci Resolve Studio license means your total cost of ownership for a cinema-grade production workflow starts under $2,000. Manual focus and limited battery life are real constraints, but they're the same constraints every cinema camera imposed before autofocus became standard.”

Global Critique
“No other camera under $2,000 produces images this cinematic. The value proposition is almost absurd.”
“Blackmagic RAW is the codec every filmmaker should be shooting. And DaVinci Resolve is included. At $1,795.”
“The image quality embarrasses cameras at three times the price. The workflow demands are the price of admission.”
