(FT4) New Backmagic MFT 4K camera to be announced tomorrow? Watch the live stream!


image above shows the current Blackmagic Pocket MFT cinema Camera.

I just got that rumor about a new Blackmagic Pocket MFT Camera

M43 mount. 4K, same or almost the same size, better battery life, H265 possible. Might see it at NAB although will not ship then (lol – Blackmagic shipping on time).

And tomorrow (March2) Blackmagic will live stream a new camera announcement. But it’s unclear if the camera will be announced tomorrow or at the NAB show in April.

UPDATE: The live stream is over. Black magic did not announce a new MFT camera today. But as our source said yesterday a new MFT camera could be announced at the NAB show in April.

 

Thanks source!

Lumix GH5 vs Olympus EM1 II vs Fujifilm XT2 vs Sony A7s II 4k movie quality

Gordon Laing from CameraLabs compared the 4K perforamcne of the four cameras. You can also Download the original file. Gordon writes:

In the video I compare the low-light quality of the Lumix GH5, Olympus OMD EM1 II, Fujifilm XT2 and Sony A7s II in 4k 25p at 1600 ISO to their maximum movie sensitivities of 12800, 6400, 12800 and 409600 ISO respectively. Each camera was set to the same colour temperature and using its standard profile. I used lenses which delivered roughly the same field of view and adjusted the distances where necessary – the Sony samples look different due to the perspective of a longer lens and bigger sensor. The lighting was fixed and the exposures matched at each sensitivity, so any difference in brightness here is due to processing styles and variations in actual sensitivity.
