With 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISOs, it’s also tuned to handling noise and retaining tonal detail in situations notoriously hard for video. When combined with Blackmagic’s Davinci Resolve software, for example, (and free with the camera) editors have scope to go a step beyond RAW photo capture, even changing the ISOs of clips after they are captured.

The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K also shoots RAW video out of the box, giving filmmakers and enthusiasts much more control over their productions in the editing phase.

The Pocket 6K is made with premium video capture firmly in mind, from its 16:9 aspect ratio screen, versus the traditional 3:2 aspect ratio display found on multi-functional photography cameras, through to the enormous file sizes that videos shot on it climb to.

If you’re looking to get into professional video and don’t need a camera that can handle regular stills photography too, then the Pocket 6K could be the perfect choice – but it’s not a camera for vloggers or photographers who want an all-in-one bit of kit. The large 5-inch touchscreen is just one of the features that set this camera apart from its mainstream rivals.
