Read our full Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K review (opens in new tab) for more details The one downside to the camera is it doesn't have a flip-out screen but if you're a serious filmmaker you'd probably want to invest in one of the best on-camera monitors (opens in new tab) anyway. It features one SDXC card slow and one CFast 2.0 slot which supports 4K Raw.

With a Canon LP-E6 battery, you could argue it's a bit of a mix-match of a camera and although it only has 60 minutes of battery life you can plug it into the mains for continuous recording.

It can shoot up to 4K 60p with no crop factor and has 13 stops of dynamic range. The Micro Four Thirds sensor means there are a huge number of Olympus, Panasonic, and third-party lenses available both brand new and secondhand. It was launched back in 2018, but it's still a popular choice among filmmakers who need ProRes and Raw recording. If you're an MFT user, maybe already using a Panasonic Lumix G or Olympus system, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K (opens in new tab) gives you cine camera controls at a price far lower than any compatible MFT body.
