The BMPCC 6K G2 is a small but positive step up for an already great camera.
Blackmagic Design’s (BMD) philosophy when it comes to creating tools for broadcast and cinema is all about loyalty. According to Grant Petty himself, the idea is to support creatives in their early years so that when they succeed, they will keep coming back to BMD for their tools.
But this loyalty goes both ways. Petty not only wants loyal customers, but he also wants his company to be loyal to them.
Which is what brings us to this review of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2, or BMPCC 6K G2 for short. I had the pleasure of using one for a few weeks, and I have some thoughts. So is it a good camera? Should you buy one? And why?
10-Year-Old Cinema Camera
Before we jump in, let’s chat about my approach to this review. I’m a filmmaker, which means I don’t shoot weddings, corporate, or digital content. There are better people out there that do a better job. I also haven’t purchased a cinema camera in five years, and I still shoot on the original BMPCC. The one with a Super 16 sensor, which is now a decade old.
