Our editorial take on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 is a Super 35 cinema camera with an active EF mount, designed for users prioritizing raw video capture. It records internally to Blackmagic RAW and ProRes codecs at resolutions up to 6K, utilizing a 21.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor. Notable features include dual native ISO, 13 stops of dynamic range, and a tilting 5-inch touchscreen LCD. The camera's construction combines carbon fiber and polycarbonate.
Power and storage options include an NP-F570 battery with approximately 60 minutes of life, along with CFast and SD UHS-II card slots. Connectivity is robust, offering USB-C for external recording and camera control, HDMI, and various audio inputs. While it supports autofocus with compatible lenses, key optional accessories like a viewfinder and essential built-in features such as ND filters are not included.
This model is positioned as a tool for detailed cinematic capture, especially for those already invested in the EF lens ecosystem or Blackmagic's workflow. Its capabilities suit budget-conscious filmmakers or those requiring specific raw recording options, despite the need for additional accessories to round out its functionality.
