That’s approx. 5.8GB per minute in DCI 4K RAW 4:1.

Apple ProRes 422 HQ – 110 MB/s Apple ProRes 422 – 73.6 MB/s

Apple ProRes 422 LT – 51 MB/s

Apple ProRes Proxy – 22.4 MB/s

See that ProRes 422 LT is still a very high quality option, at half the size of the smallest raw option.

Shooting 1080p ProRes 422 LT halves that again to 12.75 MB/s or 765MB per minute.

One very interesting thing to note is that the BMPCC 4K is the first ever camera with RAW recording capability via USB C to an external SSD drive like the tiny Samsung T5.

Power is provided by a single Canon LP-E6 battery. They should have made room for one more because I think it is going to eat them for breakfast.

Blackmagic claim 60 minutes per Canon battery. It’s the same battery as the 5D Mark III.

I think in the real world, shooting 4K raw it will be more like 40 minutes or so. A battery grip would have been great but there’s not one yet. You can also power the camera via USB C, with a mobile battery or via the 12v tap.

4K 60p is internal on this camera and 120fps is a windowed 2K video mode. Probably a 1:1 readout of the sensor, so quite a significant crop factor for that.

In true Blackmagic tradition it comes with a full Blackmagic Resolve Studio license in the box, which is insane value for money. That alone costs $300 and now includes Fusion for visual FX.

Same sensor as the GH5S
