The fact this review is coming from someone who uses these cameras professionally is amazing coz most people commenting on these cameras don't even own a blackmagic

What people don't seem to understand is that BMD is advertising they dynamic range very conservatively, just like ARRI does theirs. These 12-13 stops are actually usable unlike RED or Sonys 16 stops that are just bullshit marketing and more like landing on 12-12.5 stops in every test. being ever so slightly better than the BMPCC, but I will take BRAW and half a stop less of DR every day of the week compared to anything Sony, Canon or even RED puts out. Colors are so much better, being only beat by ARRI IMHO.

Blackmagic is truly for the filmmaker and aspiring filmmaker.

The best thing is you can grab an old 12k ursa for like 3.5k with the 6k pro you are pretty good to start an agency

I got to play with the Pyxis and Ursa Cine and they are both amazing! The new EVF is crisp and a must have accessory if you plan on upgrading.

Finally to hear from Mateo himself. Been waiting for this. I can actually listen to you talk for a long time. You're one of my most favorite people on this red app. Thanks for bringing order whenever there's chaos.❤

The thing that 6K Pro taught me over my G2 : texture over dynamic range (I love the 6K Pro texture on skintones) . For the highlight it's all about the roll off really past a certain amount of DR.

Appreciate you as always. Love hearing impressions from an actual pro!

Honestly, BM changed the game. No Sony cameras were harmed during this comment. Thanks Matteo

Exactly! Well said man! Only thing that bothers me is that you can’t set a focus throw on the L mount lenses focused by wire - just impossible to follow focus. Hopefully will be a fix

Excited to see what you produce with this new camera!

GREAT, thanks for sharing 😀

Great insight thank you! Totally agree, and your footage of the 6K Cine is mind blowing btw. I always tend to think that when many people complain about a product before it is released, it's the proof that the product is actually meaningful.

Great stuff bro... you always deliver!

It’s impressive how people just complain and complain for stupid things. They just cried cried for the boxy hype shape they got it and still complain 🤦‍♂️. No AF no ND what’s the bid deal about it? Learn how to focus properly before getting your hand on a cinema camera. No other brand can’t beat BM prices and technology inside their cams! I’ve seen people complaining about the side screen on the new PYXIS? Really what about and Alexa? You still need to add a second monitor or the EVF to film. What about the shitty tiny display of the Komodo? Cinematographers should be great full Blackmagic offers affordable and reliable cinema cameras. Always supporting all their cams with new updates all the time. This cameras are amazing if you really now how to operate them properly. The PYXIS will be a great run n gun cam! Pair with that beautiful Viewfinder it’s just amazing. Thank you Matteo for making this video clarifying people how badass of a company Blackmagic is! People will still complain but it’s ok they don’t know. Keep shooting with your Sony’s You gotta 🖤 BM 😎🎥

Well said Matteo! 🎬👍

Very excited about the Pyxis 6k

To round out the product line refresh, BM will need to introduce what I think of as an Ursa Cine Jr. (rather than a Pyxis Pro-which will never be big enough for internal NDs). Perhaps this could include a next gen Bayer sensor with faster read out speeds, CFExpress only, big enough for internal NDs but no AC screen, and probably ships without the massive travel case to keep costs down.

Hi Matteo, which monitor do you use to desqueeze 3:2 anamorphic footage. All the monitors I have seem to be confused with the aspect ratio and don’t fill the width of the screen. Cheers ☕️

Yes, was waiting for your video to hear your extended opinion.

BM better start sending the pyxis to persons like you so people will get an idea of the usage and capabilities. I believe the pro version of this will include nds for 500 eu more

It's good to hear some balanced impressions regarding the new BM cameras from someone who knows what he's talking about. I'm a long time Canon user & currently own the R5C which is a very capable camera and a joy to use. However looking at Matteo's footage there's no doubt the BM 6K produces beautiful images which have a unique look and amazing to be able get that quality for such a reasonable price. Really impressed with footage I've seen from the 12K URSA also. BM is bringing great innovation to the industry at affordable price points. A lot of negativity online seems to come from people who have never used a BM camera.

if you could make a video about iso in which circumstances which iso is best to use on bmcc, that would be great!

been waiting for this one. would you recomment downloading the new beta update to main camera?

I was waiting for this review since the announcement

I have a g85, the p4k still looks enticing. Assuming that blackmagic wont do anything with micro four thirds in the future, which system should i go to knowing ill have a totally different lenses set. Many folks say L mount while PL is used by many professionals in narrative work.

Great assessment

Couldn't agree more with everything you said Matteo. I think all the hating on BMD after this product release is just people building their channels on shock and negative energy. Focus on the positives - we all have so much to be grateful for being small filmmakers in this era. There's not really anything to be whining about. This release from BMD is just breathtaking. They are now the leaders in this industry - other names may still be bigger, but they are setting the pace of innovation and thankfully, always putting the creative people right in the centre of their product ecosystem. For me, there's no question, it's just a matter of time before I get these two cameras (Pyxis and Cine 12K) - and I'm super motivated to make that a reality.

I don't understand why Blackmagic stopped innovating for the past 10 years and only now releases a cube camera that no one wants or asked. Because all we need is a sphere camera !

One question: do you own the 12K S35 without OLPF or have you Upgraded after the OLPF Version was released?

Enjoyed the video. If you dont mind my asking, what glasses do you wear? I really dig them

As always, look forward to your thoughts and footage.

Spot on as usual, Matteo. Great cameras from BM.

I hope they give you an URSA Cine for all the support you showned the S35 12K URSA ;)

Finally 😂 I was dying to hear your take on this

Thank you, Matteo. Excellent work, as always. I use S35 glass and want to upgrade to either of the new L-mount options (BMCC6K or PYXIS L-mount). Did you upgrade your glass, or are you still using your S35 lenses on these new cameras? Thanks again, and keep up the excellent work.

Good video and my brother and I appreciate your opinions. God bless you and have a great day.

Hey Matteo! Do you know if there’s a possibility to turn the side screen completely off when using an external monitor? I want to get this new camera but kind of worried about side monitor draining the battery when not in use

I was wondering, do you think the new viewfinder will work on the bmcc6k ff as well ? with the usb c connection?

Does it make sense to get an ursa g2, since they're the used price is the same as this new pixie? I've been looking for a second cam to pair with my 6k pro. I mainly do interviews, commercials & personal projects

Hi Matteo, thanks for this vid. I'm on the fence going into the BM ecosystem. How do you work around the low light capabilities with BM 6k and Pyxis? Your insight will be appreciated.

Good comments Matteo!

Mateo, please tell me what adapter you use on a full-frame camera to use your Leica lenses? Are the lenses secure? Please share your thoughts on which mount you would choose when buying a Pyxis)))

The thing I'm most excited about this bmpcc is the Ursa mini pro 12k man that's really crazy!❤

Matteo, brother I’m not getting your notifications 📣😤🥺 great video 😍

Great takes as always, Matteo! My question to you would be, if you had to pick between the 6KCC vs Pyxis, which one would you go for?

ill be getting this camera! thats for sure. even thought i would an articulating screen, i will still get this. i have no complaint. i just wish its there. but its fine.

For someone that never work with blackmagic cameras, which one is a great start point?

Off topic - are you using any zoom lenses?

Out of all the UKpostsrs.. Matteo is the only creator I was waiting to hear from about the PYXIS..

Remember the first 12k was also 10k Euros at premier release.

fun fact, the people who dropped 30k on a nurano are absolutely annoyed by the rolling shutter, and countless others have refrained from buying a burano altogether because of the rolling shutter.

Its funny to read so many people complaining about side screen. Its a cube modular camera we all wanted. Its purpose ise that you are supposed to build according to liking with external monitor. That side screen is a BONUS, so that you dont miss out the amazing menu OS that Pocket cameras have. I wonder where else would these complainers put this screen without cannibalizing modularity aspect.

Nailed it Matteo, people who complain about this stuff have no idea what they’re doing. Especially whining about 13 stops as if it’s not enough DR. These people would read Alexa Plus stats on a spreadsheet and say it sucks lol and we shot some great looking stuff together on it!

What I haven’t heard about the audio setup. All I’ve seen is one mini XLR connector. The other thing is the dynamic range….I looked at CineD DR tests. The cinema 6k had about 11.8 stops of usable DR. and something like a $2000 S5II had 12.3 stops usable. Maybe you don’t think that much about DR….the Pros and the industry sure does!

The Pyxis pro or whatever the next ‘gen’ of it will be called will be fire…internal nd etc even if it’s a little bigger it will still be smaller than the ursa mini….ima wait for that🕐

I think it is time for me to pick up a used pocket 4k and finally try out Blackmagic cameras.

I am completely blown away that the new 12k cine camera is only $15k.

these black magic camera s are just repackage pocket 4ks processors with different sensors added to them. they use cheap tricks like cropping into the sensor, instead of down-sampling, to get lesser formats and more frame rates. so, if you have some noises at open gate, you ll have big popcorn noises of the same image crop to 1080 for examlpe. Black magic carmera s do have a good image given adequate lighting condition. Blackmagic 6K Pro Pocket or Panasonic LUMIX S5IIx seem like a better value than the Pyxis for now.

All the people who are complaining I'm very sure are Sony users who just create videos about the gear they use to make said videos like a never ending loop 🤣. If all the camera manufacturers removed AF and flip screen, UKposts would loose 95% of its " content creators" or " filmmakers" most of them who couldn't film a decent video if their life depended on it. On a serious note if you know what you are doing then any modern camera is more than sufficient. Finally people will shut up now that they have a box shaped black magic camera which none of them will buy

I've been thinking the same thing about the Sony Burano. Spending $25K and having that kind of rolling shutter is a joke. What Blackmagic has given us at this price point is amazing.

As a Pocket 6K owner, I can see the criticisms for folks who are mad that the Pyxis doesn't have X or Y features in it, personally, I am not bothered by it. The fact that they even made a boxed camera to begin with is a plus, but it's what the Cinema Camera 6K should've been released as to begin with, like they made this version begrudgingly. I don't care for the DSLR body style, especially the design Blackmagic has since it's way too big and bulky to really use rigged out, and the battery life is so bad without a rig that you can't really win. Having the FX6 battery with the PYXIS is a huge step up from all previous versions, and folks will be fine. The URSA Cine line, on the other hand, looks to be a phenomenal next step in their line, especially the functions and usability, like the input of lens data in camera, a second monitor on the AC side, RS/Power for a follow focus built into the body, etc. Those to me are exciting. And the 65mm sensor they're developing in-house, could be a game changer now that we're beginning to get into shooting video with Medium Format sensors, (the OFG Custom 65 camera for example), giving us an opportunity to shoot with a --hopefully-- high quality camera that doesn't require us to go to ARRI Rental or IMAX to get. It does mean that companies will need a jump start on creating lenses for it.

I’ll agree that Sony dumbed down the Burano. But in regards to “I don’t hear anyone complaining” comment… I’ve heard a few Burano owners complaining about rolling shutter. And as for Red owners not complaining about a lack of internal NDs… well, I’m a long time Red owner, as such I’m formally lodging my complaint about the lack of internal NDs in Red cameras… So you can check that box. IMO, Sony should have used the sensor from the A9III in Burano… that sensor is awesome… I own it and I shoot with it. The Cinema 6k has a 6 year old sensor. It’s the same sensor as the Sony A7III and the Sigma FP. The real world dynamic range is nowhere near 13 usable stops…. And I know, you know that. Most manufacturers inflate these numbers… Arri is the exception. B perhaps the more important number is exposure latitude? That’s what we need in post to lift shadows and pull down highlights. Interestingly, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a real world dynamic range of 13.4 stops, it only manages 5 stops of exposure latitude… which is why the footage is so brittle in post. The Cinema 6K is decent at 8 stop of exposure latitude… but fall short of the Red V-Raptor-X and Sony’s A9III which both retain a respectable 9 stops. The Arri Alexa 35 manages 12 stops! That said, I don’t feel that dynamic range or exposure latitude are the real issues with this sensor. The real problem is others of suggested is the rolling shutter., which is actually quite bad. And while DaVinci Resolve can compensate for rolling shutter created by camera motion, it cannot compensate for rolling shutter caused by movement of objects in front of the camera. Another problem comes from the use of anamorphic lenses the feature a lot of character… such as barrel distortion. Because any motion related lens distortion will be further amplified by a slow rolling shutter. Worst still was the glowing of that high resolution monitor to the operator side of the camera. That makes no sense no matter how you look at it. A first AC, could not possibly utilize that monitor the way it is fixed to the camera. And the camera operator themselves also cannot utilize that monitor to frame the scenes. It’s just a bad design. Initially, I was excited, thinking Blackmagic would put out a camera with a fast rolling shutter and a box design. I thought they would include built in NDs… since they had removed them from the Cinema 6K… but alas, they botched it.

That Ursa Cine.... in your hands... oh, man! I hope they send you one to test and review. I know if I'm going to be renting a camera for a big project, it's gonna be that one. That is, until I buy one, haha. Excellent insight, as always. I appreciate your ability to move past lower-tier complaining and non-pandering language with BMD products.

Changing the game till we buy it

Not t mention that an k raw can hold an incredible amount of braw data.

The Cine 12K is incredible, but I'm a little confused as to why people think the Pyxis is so incredible. Yes it's a box, but it's not a very small box. Why would you get this when you could get a BS1H, slap the video assist on it (you'll need an external monitor anyway for either camera) and still have Blackmagic raw. And that camera came out 3 years ago, and it has great autofocus and battery life. The Pyxis should have ditched the in-built screen and shipped with an external screen that can plug into one of the USB-C ports for monitoring and camera control, but still recorded Braw internally. And shrink it to BS1H size. That would have made it an amazing camera for rigging and gimbal work. As it stands now, you'd need a larger gimbal to accommodate it because it's too long and heavy. I only see this being a great camera for shoulder work, at which point get a used ursa mini 4.6K for the same price or less, and it will be far superior in many ways(unless you have to have full frame).

Signore... good thoughts as always but what's this rolling Sutter eliminating trick with the gyro data? Premiere has a pretty decent tool for that and I always missed it from Resolve. Could you pls shed a tad more light on this? Much appreciated, thanks!

People are using FF BM for making reels & UKposts videos , If it's gonna use for a feature film project what resolution & aspect ratio will be perfect with low noise bcause i noticed some people says if you capture in 4kDCI noise will raise up and the file size lower than 4k pocket cam . link here ukposts.info/have/v-deo/q4GIamufmmh9zqs.html&lc=UgxxyG-wBplDhd7T-bl4AaABAg.A2lQvEycChpA2m2JnDKrIS Any thought?

Something tells me that the Pyxis will have a great success for top movies… Because in a movie with $200M+ budget, a $3k camera could be considered as a “crash camera” just like they did use 5D Mark II at some point… here it’s a box camera, so very easy to setup the way you want (mounted on a car for a pursuit, you won’t care if the camera get destroyed by accident…. Not something you might willing to do with a $50k+ camera).

Isn't it too early to call it a game changer? It's nice that they listened to people and provided a box camera. But the lack of ND filters is what makes me not take this camera too seriously at the moment. But I'd love to see the first image tests from Pyxis

I think most people has issue with 13 stops is because it's a new camera in 2024 but still using a 6 year old sensor. I don't think it's blackmagic fault, Sony is their bottle neck, Blackmagic don't make their own sensor for their entry level camera. Alot of camera company like Nikon suffer because Sony will sell them older generation sensor (cheaper) to stay ahead of the game. I think Nikon did a huge step by acquiring RED for their sensor tech, so they can differentiate themselves.

The complainers online highlights how spoiled we all are and how people will literally complain about anything. I think if you get a URSA Mini 12k and a Pyxis you're good for a long time. Also the image out of a BM camera is amazing. My hope is for BM to get a bigger foothold in the professional industry. That image and color is brilliant.

People will bitch about literally anything

All I wanted is this pixyis, but with better writing speed and slo-mo, even if it was 2000$ more expensive.

Come on Mateo… don’t get on the hand held mic trend. Just clip it. An extra 2 min. Let the trend die. Please. Please. BM is doing good!

It's true, you just don't need more dynamic range. I mean, more is always better but you just don't need it.

Choose the best acronym for PYXIS keeping 13 stop dynamic range in mind. Reply in comment 1. Perhaps You'll X-perience Image Sadness. 2. Purely Yet X-traordinarily Ineffective System. 3. Pathetically Yielding X-clusively Illogical Scenes 4. Please Yield - Xtremely Inferior Sight. 5. Pretends to Yield X-cellent Images, Sike! 6. Pointlessly Yielding Xero Image Success. 7. Permanently Yielding X-clusively Insufficient Shots 8. Probably Your X-worst Investment in Sightseeing.

People have some kind of sickness. Its just a different camera. It's always going to have trade offs.

Hey which is better arri alexa mini lf or usra cine 12k

people asking for 13 stops are all Mediocre, mostly Amateur with no expirence

Still no continouse AF

if it's not 16 bit then its not changing the game at all. It would be great if blackmagic made a 16 bit camera which can compete with Arri Sony and Red

I don’t get how people can Love BM cameras. Are they super cheap or what?

Oh don't bring the Burano into this, those owners are bitter as hell.

One thing I've learned from Blackamgic Design is that most people are bunch of cry babies and will never be happy.

Also do you know anyone at all that wants 12K?? BM offering 12k some years ago was a brain fart they haven't backed down from.
