  • @darklight did you select HD->1080p on the Vimeo player? I see that window frame aliasing at the non-HD default res, but not at 1080p. You also have to view on a 1080p screen in fullscreen (or 1:1 windowed), or you will see player scaling artifacts that aren't in the original footage (also depends how well a particular player scales).

  • @_gl I was referring to this line here by the window but its is probably a scaling issue on my end.

  • @darklight, you mean the boxing clip? I just watched it again on an 1080p screen and didn't notice any aliasing, except for what is probably classic BMD moire at 00:16 on the newspaper-style print on the right of the frame. If you definitely see something at 1080p, where?

  • Is it me or is there lots of aliasing in this footage?. Other than that perceived aliasing, I think the footage looks very nice.

  • Still waiting for this to be released.

  • new BMMCC footage

  • BMD confirm that camera is with beta testers:

    "Along the same lines as our URSA Mini 4.6K, the Micro Cinema is out in the wild with beta testers as we speak. I don't have a time frame for these being available with resellers at this time but we'll have some update on the forums/website when they are." (Tony Rivera, BMD Community Manager)

  • Looks like it is susceptible to moiré (at 17 seconds on the chain link fence).

    welcome back all my dear colors. I sold the BMPCC because of the heavy moire but I was holding my m43 lenses because I hoped this issue could be solved at the BMMCC. Thanks for the hint. And by the way: Lumix 12-35, Nokton 25mm/0.9. Lumix 7-14 for sale

  • Download of Noam's (H264 compressed) source is now available on Vimeo:

  • @AlbertZ that's great, so sticking to RS for the better DR is quite feasible for a lot of stuff, something I was hoping for. I guess a side-effect of doubling the frame rate (compared to the Pocket) is that the sensor can be read out faster= less jello.

    @majoraxis yeah looks like it, I wish they'd fit an AA filter already, or offer one as an option. I'd pay more for it no problem (though hopefully less than an aftermarket one).

  • Looks like it is susceptible to moiré (at 17 seconds on the chain link fence). The BMMCC is looking better to me from a rolling shutter stand point as compared to the BMPCC. Exciting times - I'm glad I held on to my c-mount lens when I sold me BMPCC. Hopefully the BMMCC will fill the needs, I was hoping the BMPCC would fill.

  • @_gl just look at the comments here: http://noamkroll.com/micro-a-short-film-shot-on-the-blackmagic-micro-cinema-camera/

    Briefly speaking, the BMMCC seems to have less IR pollution, good response in tungsten lighting and way better battery usage...however please take these statements with a grain of salt, it's very soon...

    No words about DR and Global Shutter yet...

  • @AlbertZ Damn that is a great look on the Micro. Love it. Definitely going to be considering this camera for film work.

  • How do you know?

  • Not GS, but fast RS.

  • Thanks, interesting. Nice grade & atmos. I'm not noticing any jello on the walking shots, GS or fast RS? Looks like he's not allowed to post any camera details yet.

  • First short film shot on the Micro Cinema Camera by Noam Kroll

    here are his comments:

  • Cool (http://noamkroll.com/about-noam/), he must be a beta tester then. That's a good sign.

  • That's definitely real, it's Noam Kroll's instagram, he's a known blogger.

  • Endless rumours, who knows which are true (maybe all of them). Here's someone claiming to have one, though the photo looks pretty staged, maybe even photoshopped (cam looks slightly weird): https://www.instagram.com/p/BAidmqRwazM/. Or it's a beta tester or BM shill ; ).

  • the above post might not be true!!! i'm to eager for news

  • Hello Ryan,( found this on another site)

    Thank you for contacting us. The Micro Cinema Cameras have not yet shipped and I do not have an official release date for that. As of two weeks ago beta versions of these cameras have gone out to our beta testers so I know that we're close to a release. It should be sometime very soon.

    All the Best, [Removed name] Blackmagic Design Inc. http://www.blackmagicdesign.com

  • great news from BM the micro is shipping in january :) but i'm not sure what year, or is january july or may, who knows ..june?

  • Video is the letdown. Low bitrate, flickering images, soft / mushy details and mixed results after constant calibration.
