I got hold of the BMPCC 4K for 6 hours to make a quick review. The review from the perspective of a corporate videographer and vlogger. I brought 2 friends with different expertise along to add their opinions. One friend is a high-end camera user and the other an MFT camera user. Watch our video reviews.
Autofocus, Low Light, Audio Tests
I am a corporate event videographer, and this, of course, is a “cinema” camera. My top three burning questions are 1. Can it handle run-and-gun style production? (Autofocus test) 2. Can it shoot in low light indoors without noise? (ISO test) 3. How’s the audio recording quality for interviews? (Audio test) ▶︎ https://youtu.be/QfdVHrVLAJE
