“MFT is not dead” says Blackmagic

by Leave a Comment

Micro Four Thirds lives! Along with Elvis, according to camera and software giant Blackmagic Design at IBC 2022. DIYP had a lovely chat with Craig Heffernan about the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras. Craig talks to us about both the 6K Pro and the new G2 cameras and gives us his thoughts on the industry from Blackmagic’s perspective.

Blackmagic still has the 4K as an entry point camera, which is a micro-four-thirds based system. But more recently they have updated the 6K to the 6K Pro and introduced the Pocket 6K G2 which is in the mid-range of the 4K and the 6K Pro but still shoots at 6K resolution.

Blackmagic quietly releases the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 and it’s basically a 6K Pro without built-in ND

To absolutely none of the usual Blackmagic fanfare, the company has today released the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2. It’s a fairly big upgrade over the original Pocket 6K, as it’s essentially a Pocket 6K Pro but without the built-in ND filter, which keeps the price of the 6K G2 at $1,999, same as the original 6K. This also means you get that 5″ tilting touchscreen display, NP-F batteries, optional EVF and Mini-XLR input.

Blackmagic has also announced the new Blackmagic Camera 7.9 Update today, adding 6K G2 support and adding an updated user interface to the Pocket 4K, 6K and 6K Pro, along with focus assist intensity adjustment, custom presets and LUTs are retained after software updates and improved lens and autofocus support. It also adds support for the Pocket 6K G2 to Blackmagic RAW.
