The BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera (let’s call it the BMPCC for short) was released in 2013 and it seems like it was designed with the goal of addressing some of the complaints about the larger Cinema Camera. They also do so at a price point much lower than most of their competitors. However, when it comes to capturing high quality images, BlackMagic cameras do their job very well. That means that they lose out on some of the handling and ergonomic benefits of those kinds of cameras. BlackMagic’s cinema line of cameras cameras don’t look like hybrid cameras or camcorders – they’ve rejected the body styles of both in order to create a device focused solely on capturing images.

The first, much larger, BlackMagic Cinema Camera was released in 2012 and it immediately made waves in the filmmaking community. This week, we’re looking at a very unusual camera: the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera.
