What to check before you buy a cinema camera
- Sensor: Super 35 bodies (Sony FX30, Blackmagic Pocket 6K) are cheaper; full frame bodies (Sony FX3, FX6, Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K) give a shallower look and better low light.
- Recording: Blackmagic RAW and ProRes RAW give the most grading room; check the media (CFexpress, SD, SSD).
- Audio: XLR inputs on the body or a top handle save a separate recorder.
- Lens mount: Sony E, Canon RF / EF and L-Mount decide which lenses you can use.
- Power and cooling: long events need V-mount batteries and a cooled body.
Cinema camera types
- Sony Cinema Line: FX30, FX3 and FX6 for weddings and productions.
- Blackmagic: Pocket Cinema 4K and 6K, Cinema Camera 6K and PYXIS for RAW filmmaking.
- Canon Cinema EOS: C70, C80 and R5 C.
- High end: RED Komodo and DJI Ronin 4D.
Care and maintenance
- Keep the camera and lenses in a dry bag with silica gel packs; humidity causes fungus inside lenses.
- Clean the lens with a blower and a microfibre cloth, never with tissue paper.
- Charge batteries before trips and keep a spare; remove the battery if the camera will sit unused for weeks.
Common mistakes
- Buying the body without budgeting for batteries, media and a monitor.
- Choosing a RAW camera without a computer that can edit RAW.
- Ignoring audio inputs for events.
- Ignoring the warranty and where the service centre is.
