Hi Carl here for ProAV TV and welcome to
the final part of our ongoing series of
tests on the Blackmagic pocket Cinema
Camera 4k so this one we're going to be
taking a look at the camera specifically
in terms of image quality compared to
other cameras a bit higher end other
video cameras or cinema cameras because
this is a bit of a strange camera really
despite its very low price point it does
seem to fit in both camps so in the last
video we compared it to small mirrorless
cameras things which there are a bit
closer to its price range and size
things like the gh 5 the a7 line
canidius are cameras like that in this
video what we're going to do is see how
this hand holds up against far bigger
far more expensive cameras we're not
going crazy high on here
we're looking at sort of the entry level
if you like professional video cinema
camera from each of the manufacturers so
things like the FS 5 from Sony the evil
one from Panasonic Canon C 200 the kin
affinity Terra 4k cameras like that and
seeing how well the image quality of
this will compare to those cameras now
bear in mind here the image quality is
only one small part of the overall
picture if this does better or worse
than some of those other cameras
that's only one small part of what you
need to consider when you're trying to
choose one of these cameras to be your
tool because after all these are tools
they need to work for us they need to be
professional tools which will go out
there and we can earn our living from
them an image quality is one small part
of what means that a camera is going to
be capable of doing that for each
individual person because everyone's
needs are different but I'm really
excited to see just how well this camera
does against those are the big ones so
let's not waste any time and let's get
stuck in
so first up we've got the Blackmagic
pocket Cinema Camera 4k now for this
test what we did is we did the same shot
with each of the cameras with the same
settings and the
name's subtle grade applied to each one
now for each of these cameras you can
make it look far better than I've made
them look here by tailoring your
post-production workflow and your
settings on the shoot day to the
specific strengths and weaknesses of
each camera you can make each one far
better than it does here what this is a
test of is to see straight out of camera
with minimal work or post-production and
if you're not used to using each camera
maybe even what the results are going to
look like what the difference is between
each of them are going to be so looking
at the Blackmagic straight away I think
this list just looks great it can maybe
be a little bit sharper but it's a very
clean image the colors look brilliant
really rich really vibrant her skin tone
is beautiful I think this is a really
nice looking image and as we swap over
here to the to the law to the cinema DNG
it stays pretty much the same in this
shot I mean this is an ideal situation
shot we don't need the extra capability
of raw here the colors look pretty much
the same the detail looks pretty much
the same I think you can easily swap
between pro res and law without noticing
too much of difference just for when you
want to swap over to raw to get the
extra benefits of it so this is the Ursa
mini pro 4.6 K so this is black magics
larger version if you like of the pocket
camera it's got a bigger sensor it's got
a higher resolution sensor but a
slightly older sensor so be interesting
to see what the differences are between
them the first things that jump out to
me here is mainly the green I mean
overall it's got a slightly colder look
but particularly in the green it seems
to be slightly more saturated and maybe
a bit of a faker green color a bit more
plasticky than there was on the pocket
I'm not as keen on how this camera is
handling the greens all the other
cameras look fantastic but if you look
at the green patches on the color chart
the plant the table behind her they seem
a little bit more plasticky maybe but
overall I think this is a fantastic
looking image particularly the sharpness
it's a very very detailed 4.6 K
resolution file that you get from the
Ursa mini pro and I don't mean sharp if
you look at her hair there aren't any
nasty artifacts or anything like that
it's a very very detailed image I think
it looks absolutely fantastic
and the skin tones look brilliant I've
always really liked the look of the
USMLE Pro when it's taken in an ideal
situation like this so as we move onto
the Sony FS 5 mark 2 I think this isn't
handling color anywhere near as well it
looks a little bit noisier and it
definitely doesn't look anywhere near as
sharp or detailed I mean overall image
quality has never been a strength of the
sony FS 5 mark - if that's chemists
rancid definitely its ergonomics the
practicality of it overall image quality
like in a test like this I just don't
think it holds up against some of the
other cameras and you can make this look
far better particularly in terms of
things like color if you grade for it
and if you use their lookup tables
things like that but here lined up
against the other cameras with the same
post-production and the same settings
applied to it I think it just doesn't
look anywhere near as good unfortunately
now this is the kin affinity terror 4k
which is a very interesting camera
because their kin affinity are
relatively new to the market apart from
maybe black magic all these other camera
manufactures be making cameras for a
long time
where's kin affinity and black magic
haven't and in some ways they have very
similar approaches but I think this
looks like a fantastic image it's very
detailed it's not quite as detailed as
the as the 4.6 K Ursa mini pro but it's
just detailed as the Blackmagic pocket I
think overall the color looks brilliant
I really like the skin tones maybe
there's a slight yellowy tone in the
Reds on this camera particularly if you
look at the bike it renders it a little
bit yellower than some of the others but
there's not necessarily unpleasant but
it's not accurate it's not the same
color as the bike is here in real life
but you could grade that so that it
looks better and it looks more accurate
like this but straight out of camera it
definitely has that color cast but
overall is a very clean image I think
the skin tones look brilliant I really
like the image from the kin affinity so
this is the Panasonic Eva one overall I
think the image looks good it's perhaps
got a quite a strong green tint to it
though I've always found this with the
Panasonic Evil One when you are using
their look-up tables all you're using an
aces workflow with the Asus designed IDT
for this camera this gets cleaned up
straightaway it's not an issue
whatsoever but when you're taking the
fast
right from the camera against other
cameras like this and you're just
applying simple um color correction the
same as you applying to everything else
it definitely has this green turban tin
which you can see across the whole image
but that does disappear when you're
using the proper workflow for the camera
and I think everything else about the
image looks very good it's very detailed
the contrast looks great the detail
looks lovely I think this is a lovely
camera in terms of image but you need to
use the right workflow for it now this
is the canon C 200 we did the C 200 in
both mp4 and inlaw now this is the only
camera here that I did do that with that
I swapped it over to roar apart from on
this test with the Blackmagic and the
reason I did that is because unlike the
Blackmagic where the pro res and the
roar actually pretty similar in a lot of
regards and the C 200 is pretty much
like having two complete different
cameras in one body and so I really
wanted to see the differences between
the end before and the raw because the
mp4 to be honest is a little bit
underpowered compared to a lot of the
other cameras here and the war is a
little bit overpowered compared to all
the other cameras here so that is
interesting to see but looking here at
the C 200 mp4 I'm really pleased with
the image I really do like the image at
the say 200 I mean yes the skin tones
are a little bit more saturated
particularly here in the mp4 but they're
accurate and they look good I mean the
color and the sharpness and the noise
overall just looks very clean the one
thing with the mp4 though and it's
actually to do with the colorscience
of the camera in the color space of the
camera it doesn't let you go into the
full cinema gamut you have to be in the
rec 709 gamma and I do find red
sometimes go a little bit magenta in the
mp4 and C 200 and you can see that a
little bit on the bike and a little bit
in the color patches and as we move
across to the raw you see what I mean
the bike has now pretty much changed
color it looks a much more vivid
accurate red and all the colors overall
a little bit d saturated actually
compared to it particularly her skin
which looks much more in line with
perhaps some of the other cameras now
that little bit of that Canon default
look has gone if you like
mean obviously you can claw it back by
just simply raising the saturation but
this is a much more of a cinematic feel
straightaway there's a lot more
information in the shadows as well and
particularly the detail really Springs
out
I think the CG one has got a
fantastically detailed picture in raw so
this is the split screen between the
Blackmagic raw and pro res on the pocket
camera and as you can see I mean there's
not really much difference at all in a
test like this this is the kin affinity
at the top the Sony in the middle and
then the pocket in pro res down at the
bottom now the Sony instantly jumps out
as being not quite as good the contrast
is not as good it's noisier the color
profiles isn't there quite as much as in
the other cameras and the difference
between the black magic and the terror
is really interesting to me I think I
prefer the skin tones of the terror they
look a little bit more muted a little
bit d saturated but I think that's
actually a very pleasant look compared
to the Blackmagic it's certainly a very
different mentality to something like
the canon cameras which have got a very
saturated skin tone very accurate but
very saturated whereas the terror goes
accurate and D saturated which I like so
you can always pum that saturation in
later but look at the difference in the
bike the black magic I think is more
accurate here the terror definitely
renders it that little bit yellowy
but overall I think they're very very
close in terms of image these two
cameras now this is the C 200 both the
mp4 and the raw compared to the
Blackmagic and instantly straight away
you notice that more saturated skin
tones it's very accurate but very
saturated the bike looks very accurate
and very colourful it looks pretty much
the same to be honest as it does in the
Blackmagic here in this test and overall
I think the noise flaws may be slightly
lower on the C 200 than it is on the
Blackmagic but I'm very happy with all
three of the images here I think these
look fantastic and again here I think
these look fantastic this is the black
magics lineups this is the raw and the
black magic the pro is on the black
magic and the pro is after the earth´s a
mini pro 4.6 K and I think they look
brilliant I mean
again the Blackmagic Ursa mini pro is a
little bit colder perhaps you can see
it's a dislike Li different sensor I
think people could very happily use the
pocket as a B camera and the Ursa mini
pro as a a camera for example and cut
between them very happily
so in case you didn't catch our previous
videos what we're doing with this over
and under exposure test is we having the
same settings on every single camera and
we've got an average ly exposed shot
zero stops and then we've given that a
very very slight and subtle grade to
just a d log of the file effectively
then we've gone one stop two stops and
three stops overexposed and we've tried
to grade those overexposed log files
back down to match the original zero
stops file and then we've got minus one
minus two minus three stops underexposed
and tried to graze that grade those back
up to match the original one now what
this can tell us is it can tell us the
amount of information that's in the
highlights and the amount of
informations in the shadows and what
happens to those areas when they go up
and when they go down now bear in mind
the cameras with dual native ISOs do get
a little bit skewed in this particular
test because I have had to use the ISO
to get higher in order to get the
overexposed shots and particularly in
the case of the Blackmagic pocket we
found that actually really skewed some
of the results here and made it look
worse than the camera actually is we did
a whole video going much more in depth
on this camera to try to figure out what
went on there specifically with the dual
native ISO and looking at will all help
it and all that sort of things so if you
haven't watched that video yet make sure
you go and watch that because it really
does go much more in detail on the
pocket specifically and that we're going
to link that video with a card up here
and down in the comment section down
below in the description of this video
you can also maybe safely assume that
other cameras in this test with dual
Nate advisors like the Terra for Kate
and the Evil One would have had similar
issues unfortunately we're not able to
show the evil one we did lose the data
unfortunately due to a corrupt SD card
and so we have a lost that data which is
a real shame I would have liked to put
it up against these other cameras but
unfortunately we didn't have time to
redo the entire tests because of it so
let's get started straight away so the
pocket Cinema Camera this is the exact
same shots as we saw in the previous
tests whereas plus one plus two
fantastic but then plus three has quite
severely clipped now if you went back
and watch that previous video we know
that this is because of the ISO 1600 it
didn't do this one it was at native ISOs
anywhere near as much and you can
recover a lot of this detail in law but
here in this test with Perez with these
settings it definitely did sharply clip
here and I think this is very useful to
know with this camera to know how best
to get the best results from it in terms
of a new exposure I was actually very
impressed with the Blackmagic it does
get noisy at plot minus two stops and a
minus three is very noisy there is a
little bit of pattern noise in there but
nothing too much some horizontal lines a
little bit there but overall I think
this will clean up quite nicely in
resolve it will leave you with a soft
image it's definitely not ideal but it
looks alright this is the Ursa mini pro
4.6 K in ProRes HQ and actually this did
remarkably well in overexposure you can
see here plus one plus two stops look
just as good as plus serious dogs they
look fantastic and then plus three stops
I mean I can't see any clipping I can't
see any difference between the plus two
stopped and the plus three stops I mean
say what you want about the Ursa mini
pro 4.6 K but that camera has some
fantastic dynamic range and over
exposure capabilities it looks really
good here under exposure though it does
fall apart a little bit - - looks okay
but minus three is noisy but more
importantly you can see that blue shift
you can see a little bit in the - - but
in the - three is very obvious there's a
blue shift across the entire image which
is going to be quite hard to get rid of
in post it is going to skew your colors
for the entire shot now the sony FS five
mark - is interesting you see those
problems with colors that we saw on the
previous test skin tones things like
that but actually it handles
overexposure remarkably well notice also
that we had to go up to ISO 2000 for
these tests because of s log - and the
way that that works and so for noise
levels and things like this this
very fair to directly compare it but
actually maybe saying that in some ways
it is directly fair because it forces
you to use ISO 2000 but actually the
noise levels look pretty good and the
overexposed areas in that +3 stops they
were covered nicely
I think the Sony chemists do really well
in overexposure and a lot of that is
because of the gamma curve of s log2
although it's difficult to use for color
the dynamic range on s log is brilliant
- three stops we start to see some of
the limitations of the Sony FS 5 though
this is partly because of its compressed
format and partly because of the sensor
and partly because the s log 2 is a very
aggressive log curve the same thing
reason that made it do so well in the
overexposed areas is what's causing it
problems here in the underexposed areas
it's lifting the shadows up way too much
and you're seeing all of this awful
blockiness in the shadows and a huge
amount of color noise - 3 is definitely
not usable under any circumstances here
I don't think - - looks nosy it's about
as bad as -3 on most of the other
cameras and - one looks about as bad as
- - this is definitely a camera you want
to overexpose not under expose now this
is the kin affinity so it would be
interesting to do more detailed tests
here to see whether the dual native ISO
was causing the same problems here as it
was with the Blackmagic although I
wouldn't be surprised if this did have
slightly less dynamic range than the
Blackmagic but what we're seeing here is
we are seeing some clipping areas in the
+3 stops is nothing too bad in it
definitely there's an awful lot better
than some of the cameras we saw in the
mirrorless comparison but +2 looks
fantastic and +3 there is some clipping
but it looks pretty good
also this is pro res on the camera there
is cinema d ng d ng on this camera and
so it'd be interesting to see if that
performed better but one thing to notice
is that the color performance is very
consistent as we're over exposing here
there's no problems in her skin tones
there even in the overexposed areas it's
not bringing any on
one two color casts which is quite nice
to see on underexposure -2 is noisy
it's definitely noisy and there is some
colored noise there it's fine a blocks
then we saw on some of the other cameras
but it is there and at -3 we are getting
some horizontal lines there which is a
little bit of a shame but normally we
find that the conventional cameras are
quite easy to clean up in post they're
not doing any noise reduction in camera
which I think is the reason that the -
turn the minus one stops to look like
they are but I think minus three is
probably pushing these cameras a little
bit too far I would probably stay away
from minus three so this is the mp4 on
the C 200 in terms of overexposure I
think for a very compressed mp4 file
this does really quite well you can see
all that information on the table is
held there is some clipping and the very
high bright bits there but it looks very
good there's no color cast as we go up
into the overexposed areas and have to
retrieve those back I think this looks
brilliant in terms of very exposure in
terms of under exposure though this is
by far the worst out of all the cameras
we've looked at here I think even worse
than the fs5 market Oh in terms of under
exposure and the reason that I say that
on - three stops look at that huge
amount of colour information color
blocking big green and magenta blocks
now this is probably because of the
8-bit but also because of the compressed
mp4 format it's just not as strong a
codec as the xav CL is in the FS 5 even
though both are 8-bit and it's a bit
frustrating because actually the color
looks pretty good the skin tones look
good there's no wash over the entire
image it's just that when you get those
big compression artifacts they go very
strange colours big green chunks big
green magenta chunks and they are very
very noticeable and very very obvious -
3 is frustrating ly close but definitely
not useable - - you're starting to get
it a little bit but I think could be
usable - one looks fine astley it's very
very clean when we swap out of law it's
a different story
the overexposure here
brilliant all the information is held
there in the table all the colors look
fantastic there's nothing bad to say
here about the c200 raw in terms of
exposure I think this looks fantastic
and just as good as any of the other
cameras we've seen here when it comes to
under exposure the c200 isn't doing any
noise reduction in camera and there is
showing on the minus 2 and the minus 3
you can see some noise but I think
everything here would be quite easily
cleaned up in something like DaVinci
Resolve you are getting some green casts
in the noise and some color noise but I
think it should be fairly easy to clean
up I think actually the raw did very
well in terms of under exposure so
moving on to the split screens
straightaway here we've got the over
exposure comparisons we've got the
Blackmagic down at the bottom you can
see that clipping we've got the Terra 4k
in the C to hundreds mp4 now again I'm
really surprised by just how well the C
2 hundreds mp4 does here there is some
clipping on the table but not too much
at all it looks pretty good tarah 4k has
definitely clipped it would be
interesting to see if this suffers from
some of the same problems as the
Blackmagic because of the Joule native
ISO but it's definitely clipping nowhere
near as much as the Blackmagic did down
here so that is interesting to see now
these are the cameras that I think did
very well so again we've got the black
magic of bottom just for reference but
the two at the top is the Ursa mini pro
4.6 gain and the C 200 law now I think
the C 200 has clipped that little bit
more than the Ursa mini pro if you look
at the extreme right hand side of the
table on the right of the car you can
see slightly more clipping on the C to
hundreds of law than on the other mini
pro but overall I think both look
absolutely fantastic here I would give
the edge ever so slightly the Blackmagic
there just because it seems to have
slightly more dynamic range in those
highlights but the raw fantasy 200 it
looks fantastic
so this is the Ursa mini pro against the
FS 5 mark 2 and again the FS 5 did very
well in the overexposure you see all the
problems with color that we've already
talked about the skin tones definitely
not as nice
but if you look at the table I think
this does just as well I think both
cameras here have maintained all the
information on the table
there's nothing clipped there on either
of them which is remarkably good for the
fs5 month too considering it's an 8 bit
compressed internal recording so let's
move on to under exposure this is -
three stops on some of the cameras so
we've got the Blackmagic 4k in pro res
down at the bottom we've then got the C
200 mp4 and the tariff 4k so both the
tower and the C 200 had some problems
here I would give the wind to the terror
even though you can see some horizontal
linings there and there is a lot of
noise I have found that that noise can
be cleaned up pretty well imposed you do
still get some of the horizontal banding
but noise that can actually be cleaned
up
whereas there's no way you're ever going
to be able to clean up that c200 the
huge chunks of 8-bit nastiness and
blockiness particularly if you look at
the extreme left and at the wall behind
the left of her head it's just falling
apart they it's all gone to mush a
little bit in this big large chunks of
green the Blackmagic on the other hand I
think looks really quite good I think
it's got a lot of the problems of the
tower but I think it is doing more noise
reduction in camera than the terror is
and I think that's a lot of the reason
that it's masking somewhere the reason I
think that is because I think it doesn't
look quite as detailed and particularly
on the wall behind you can maybe see
some of the machinist you can still see
some of the color information but the
noise is a lot less to find it a little
bit mushy err which makes me think that
the Blackmagic is still doing some noise
reduction in there whereas the Kin
infinity isn't doing anything whatsoever
so I think with noise reduction added in
post you're going to be able to make the
tower look better than the bat magic
there so although in this test the
Blackmagic looks better I think I am
going to give the win to the Terra but
that is a very close call now the FS 5
mark 2 and the Ursa mini pro both had
big problems here and then the other
mini pro does look better just because
there isn't that
locking us because it's a higher bit
depth codec the fs5 has fallen apart and
it has got very very noisy both have got
quite strong color tints the fs5 has
gone way towards magenta and the earth
so many pros got way towards the blue
I think the Blackmagic pocket looks
better than both cameras here in terms
of under exposure which is quite
interesting it does that more modern
sensor in the pocket does beat the
sensor in the Ursa mini Pro bringing in
the raw at the top from the C 200 and I
think this wins hands down above any of
the others it still got problems none of
these cameras look good at minus three
stops we really are pushing the cameras
to their limits here and there is some
slight color noise some greenness in the
C 200 but I think that it's very easily
going to be cleaned up there's a lot
less noise reduction problems happening
then in the Blackmagic and none of the
color cast that is in the Ursa mini Pro
and so I think with the noise reduction
added in post that C 200 is actually
going to look pretty usable which 4-3
stops is really quite impressive
so this is the high ISO test what I
wanted to do here is see how each of the
cameras handles going to those
undesirable ISOs specifically
ISO 6400 is what I chose here for this
test I think that is a really useful ISO
for higher so tests just because it is
high and you don't go up to ISO 6400
unless you really need to but also it's
not smooth unrealistically high it is
one that a lot of people myself included
do use a lot of the time when you need
to and so I think it isn't realistic ISO
that people are actually going to be
using all of these cameras at so first
up we've got the Blackmagic pocket
camera as always and I think this looks
fantastic there's definitely some noise
nothing that couldn't be cleaned up in
post the colors look great her skin
tones look great I'm so pleased with how
well the pocket camera is doing in
low-light specifically how much of an
improvement this is over black magics
previous cameras which we're going to
see in this test when I go over to the
Ursa mini Pro but I think the Blackmagic
pocket looks fantastic here now this is
what I was talking about with the Ursa
mini pro so for those that don't know
the Ursa mini pro can only go up to a
maximum of 1600 ISO and even then it's
starting to get a little bit noisy it's
not ideal
really with that camera you want to be
keeping it down at 400 or 800 and so
what I've done is I've obviously haven't
been able to get it up to 6400 to
compare but I wanted to include it in
here because I'm saying the pocket is so
much better than Blackmagic the previous
cameras and I wanted to illustrate that
point so what we're looking at here is
we're looking at the fair comparison
we're looking at the T 2.8 which is what
I used on all the other cameras with the
max I hope I could get with the Ursa
mini pro and so that is 1,600 and then
it's graded back up to try and match the
exposure of the other shots and as you
can see this doesn't look good I mean
first start the entire image is gone
very very cold with a strong magenta 10
but if anything more importantly than
that
the noise looked awful we've got these
very strong vertical lines across the
entire image and that's not no only
noticeable but in the background it's
also noticeable on her face if you look
at the darker side of her nose and the
dark side of her face there by her
earbuds
you can just see these huge strong
purple and blue lines going up her face
which is really unpleasant that this is
not usable in by any stretch of the
imagination now because I had a tea 1.5
lens on what I did here is I cheated a
little bit I open that lens up to T 1.5
to see how good in this environment
could we make the earth a mini probe
look let's give it a little bit of a
fighting chance and let a little bit
more light into the sensor so this is
again ISO 1600 but with teeb 1.5 rather
than t2 180 getting an extra hole stop
of light and it's looking way better but
it's still not good I mean that color
cast has gone which is good but we've
still got those very strong vertical
lines they are less noticeable but you
can still see them particularly in the
background but I can still see them here
on her face I don't if this is going to
show up as well on YouTube but
particularly in the shadow areas of her
forehead next to her hair there I'm
seeing very strong lines exactly the
same as I did in the previous shot so
there's definitely some problems we're
using the Ursa mini Pro here in
low-light and this is why I'm so pleased
that the pocket camera does so well this
is the kin affinity Tara 4k and again I
think this looks fantastic it is noisier
than the Blackmagic and I think that's
because although the noise reduction is
very subtle in the pockets Blackmagic
pocket camera I think it is there
whereas I don't think the Kin
efficiencies do any form of noise
reduction and that is shown here but I
think the colors look fantastic
if anything the colors look a little bit
better than the Blackmagic the
Blackmagic goes a little bit stronger
red when it gets up to these high ISOs
whereas I think the terror maintains the
color
across the board so looking at the evil
one we notice straight away that green
tint that was there in the previous
tests and it is worth reminding again
that that can be cleaned up a lot by
using either an anxious workflow or one
of the look-up tables designed by
Panasonic for the camera but this is a
more noticeable green tint than there
was in the original test so that does
say that it that tint does get more
noticeable when you go up to the higher
ISOs but it is very obvious here and the
noise levels aren't that great either to
be honest with you they're quite high
there's a lot of noise going on here and
there is some horizontal banding now I
didn't have noise reduction turned on in
camera but so maybe that or cleaning up
in resolve would help the situation here
but straight out a camera this isn't
looking quite as good as some of the
other cameras now the FS 5 marks who
actually looks quite clean but when you
do notice the noise it is definite
colored noise and there is large blocks
of it and also the skin tones don't look
quite as good I mean since we've just
looked at the Eva they they look alright
because they either had such a strong
green tint to it but if we go on to the
neck bone we go on to the next one
you'll notice that it looks
significantly less green than this 4 FS
5 does there's definitely a green tint
in her skin there and I think overall
the image just looks duller and not
quite as vibrant as some of the others
so this is the MP 4 on the C 200 and the
skin tones look fantastic there's
perhaps a little bit of a magenta red
tone in the background but the noise
levels look pretty under control they
are there and there is some coloured
noise but it's not crazy bad and the
quality of the image I think looks much
better than some of the other ones it
it's a vibrant image it's a perfectly
usable image there's no nasty horizontal
banding but there is some slightly
blocky noise from some compression there
in the shadows the law on the other hand
looks quite significantly different to
the MP for the skin tone looks different
again this perhaps more green in it than
in the mp4 that magenta tint has gone
but I think the skin looks
fantastic the background actually looks
very accurate to what it was before and
although there's high levels of noise I
think this is all something that could
be very easily cleaned up we're seeing
the same sort of results here with the
c200 raw then we were seeing with the
under exposure test in the previous
bunch of tests yes there's noise but I
think this is very easy to clean up in
post and I think once you do that it's
gonna look absolutely fantastic
so looking at the split screens we've
got the pocket from black magic on the
bottom we've got the Ursa mini Pro on
the top and the C 200 mp4 in the middle
and I think you can discount the Ursa
mini Pro straight away I mean it just
looks nowhere near as good as all the
other cameras here where is the pocket
and the c200 look really quite good seto
hundra's definitely contrasty really
looks more vibrant but you could make
the Blackmagic look like that in post if
you wanted to who will look at the noise
levels they're fairly comparable to be
honest I think they perform about the
same here which is quite impressive
considering the C 200 is using a
compressed 8-bit codec rather than the
pro res 10 bit on the Blackmagic the
Blackmagic is looking good but I'd
expect it to be looking good the C 200
looking good and I'm quite surprised by
how well the mp4 is holding up they're
both look very usable to me the FS 5
shows up it's green tint here against
the other cameras but also the noise
level just overall the image is looking
a bit muddy you can't see anywhere near
as much into the shadows in the
background and where you can see the
noise it looks quite unpleasant and
blocky the Tara 4k and the Blackmagic is
again interesting the Tara for case
seems brighter it seems more vivid and
vibrance seems almost like there was
more light coming in the they were set
on exactly the same exposure here note
the light had levels hadn't changed at
all between the two camera setups and
the noise although there is more noise I
think it would be easier to clean up in
post and I think once you do that you're
going to end up with this better looking
image than you do with the Blackmagic so
although both cameras performed very
very well here
I do think I'm gonna give the edge
slightly to the tariff 4k over the
Blackmagic pocket but at the end of the
day it's a bit trivial both look
fantastic
and this is again just to highlight once
again the amazing improvement that
Blackmagic have made with the pocket
over their previous generation of
cameras the earthen mini pro 4.6 K
although it is a fantastic camera
overall really does not do well here and
low light at all you just can't use that
camera in this sort of an environment so
that was the last of our tests on the
Blackmagic pocket Cinema Camera 4k I
hope you've been enjoying our coverage
