To top it all up has got a high quality still photographs making it a high end hybrid camera. B&H customer service responded to all my concerns and the shipped this camera to me faster than I expected. Thank you B&H Photo

I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a cinema-quality image on a (semi high-end) DSLR budget. The image is crisp and film-like, and the RAW format opens up a word of options for coloring in post. Is it perfect? Of course not. What camera is? But, for the price it's an amazing value. One of my favorite aspects of this camera is the user interlace. It's the most well laid out and pleasing UI of any camera system I've used. The foldout display is great. The top side quick function buttons for false color, LOG preview, and aspect ratio guidelines are equally fantastic. Another big selling factor is the native compatibility for Canon EF lenses. That's a huge plus over the 4K model. Blackmagic RAW is incredibly versatile in post within DaVinci Resolve Studio. I shot mostly 6K at 8:1 compression, and while I had to optimize some media for my machine, playback worked very well. The color science of Blackmagic Film Gen 5 is truly magical and unmatched. There's also an option for ProRes RAW, but file sizes will be much, much larger (DaVinci doesn't support ProRes RAW currently, either). A couple downsides - the battery life isn't great, so grabbing a few extra batteries is a must for shoots. Blackmagic has an official battery grip for this model, but that will make the body pretty bulky. So, it depends on your rig needs. A V-mount battery may be your best bet for longer shoots. There's so IS or autofocus, but that isn't a problem for me as I prefer manual focus for video. More so, standard cinema lens are manual focus pulled anyway. The body is definitely larger than a DSLR, but it is a dedicated cinema camera so the tradeoff in size is acceptable.

I'm using this tiny little SSD to record RAW footage on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K. Amazing it can keep up with the writing speed needed to record so much data... but it does. Comes with a little rigging device which I found very handy.

I bought this camera a few months ago as an upgrade to my D750 but waited until now to rate it to have some real experience to be able to report on. There is nothing I dislike about this camera. Here is why I love it vs. the D750 which I loved to use too: Features: I use photo stacking for Macro and find the Nikon set up on the D850 easy to use. There are other features I have yet to explore. Focus Area Coverage: It is much wider than the D750, so it is easier to use off center focus points. I always thought this was the worst thing about the D750 so am happy this was improved here. Build Quality / Weather Sealing - the D850 is a more solid camera that is a bit larger. Viewfinder - Excellent size and coverage. AutoFocus - fast and accurate Image Quality - Excellent - so far I have not seen a big improvement over the D750 but have not tried making any large prints. - The only downside to this camera is the huge Raw file sizes which load up your computer memory. I'm going to try Raw Lossless Compressed to reduce file size. Overall, this is the best camera I've ever owned.

So far so good. I use it in my BlackMagic cinema camera after my Sandisk extreme failed. That was twice the size and I was worried about losing future footage so I got two 256 drives. I'll get bigger drive options later for 4k. The drive is more thin so you will need to contact Samsung or purchase a desktop kit. This will add a few millimeters and allow the drive to sit in the camera without wiggle room. Make sure you use it with the spacer or you could risk damaging your connection inside the camera.

I use these with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. I don't like using a matte box because of the size, so these were essential for me. the BMCC doesn't have any IR protection, so these help keep the blacks from turning red/purple. the 2.1 is great since I don't like stacking filters because it can soften the image. there is a little bit of color shift with the 2.1, but it is easily fixed in post, especially if you shoot RAW.

Fast and reliable for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.

A very nice and solid case for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

With this adapter I'm able to use my EF-S lenses for my Blackmagic pocket cinema camera.

Perfect storage for keep the raw file pictures.
