DOP Ed Moore’s Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has gone straight to work as a head cam .
WELCOME
W hen was the last time you bought a small camera? Was it for stills with the occasional video or the other way around? If you shoot video on your hybrid camera do you ever use it for stills? We have reported on the use of small cameras for in- and on-car shooting for shows such as The Grand Tour and Top Gear , and also for shooting in tight places and for crash cams. (There’s also the continual search for a camera to avoid the GoPro look...) But is it time to look beyond the hybrid camera for something more dedicated to video? There are a couple of new video cameras that come to mind: Blackmagic’s new Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and ZCAM’s E2. The new 4K Pocket cam shoots ProRes and Raw, and might even receive Blackmagic’s new BRAW codec – you can shoot on CFast, SD and perhaps more importantly via the USB-C output to incredibly fast SSDs. There is off-speed with 120fps at HD, the interface is child’s play, and there is a dual native ISO architecture for low light. The E2 shoots 4K at 120fps and claims 16 stops with WDR activated. We haven’t tested the camera yet, but hopefully we will be for the next issue.
