![]() ![]() You can do a bunch of clever things like change the ISO in post. The Blackmagic Raw files open very happily in Blackmagic’s Resolve Studio software (included). One drawback is that the Sigma doesn’t include a battery changer with the camera, so you’ll need to buy one or use the USB drive to charge it. The Sigma is much better with battery life because it’s not processing the Raw to the same extent, and I got one hour and 45 minutes of raw recording on a single, tiny battery. Most have invested in external power solutions, like a cage with a connected V-mount. This has long been one of the biggest limitations of the BMPCC, with some users of the 6k needing a dozen batteries to make it through an eight-hour shoot. Luckily, SSD media is among the cheapest out there, and you can get a 1 terabyte T5 for $150. This means it producers less heat and needs less computing grunt, but you’ll need a lot of drive space to store the Raw files until you can process them into usable footage. It outputs the sensor readings as images to an external hard drive like the Samsung T5. ![]() But there’s a catch - one reason behind the small form factor is that the Sigma fp doesn’t compress the images at all. ![]() The Sigma fp, on the other hand, is tiny. The Blackmagic Pocket hasn’t fit in anyone’s actually pocket since they increased the body size. Both are 8-bit 420.įill light and tone control and color mode (image via Sigma). As of this writing, the Sigma fp can’t play back its raw footage in camera - you’ll need to import it into a computer to see what you’ve shot. It also has prores in 4 different flavors. It shoots a compressed Raw format at varying compression rates that is much more versatile than the Sigma’s cinema DNG files. The Blackmagic cameras have more options here, as well as the edge on playback. The fp is also capable of cropping into a s35 size to use APSC lenses, or to record the full sensor size at lower 2k resolution. The sigma has a larger sensor, and you’ll get much more out of your lenses. Despite being 4k and not 6k, the Sigma image has slightly more detail than the Blackmagic 6k and noticeably more than the Blackmagic 4k, no doubt due to the larger sensor. The sigma claims 12.5 stops of dynamic range, while the BMPCC claims 12. ![]() I didn’t see much difference between dynamic range, color, or sharpness. Image Qualityīoth cameras are capable of producing high-quality Raw images. ![]()
