In testing, this did result in the Blackmagic having a slightly sharper image. The Blackmagic can record the full 6K resolution of the sensor compared to the FX30 only being able to output 4K.


Looking at these specs one clear difference is the resolution. Let’s take a look at core specs for both cameras. However, the Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro has been the king for nearly two years and for good reason. If you were quick to make a judgment on the best budget cinema camera of the year you might just pick the FX30 since it is very new and very good. I think it should be easy to determine that no matter what you will be getting excellent image quality you will want to watch this comparison from BenGleasonMedia to see which camera better fits your shooting style and workflow. These are two quite different cinema cameras, though they both are aiming to be that pseudo-mirrorless ultra-compact form factor. With some strong competition it is time to check out some of the most compelling options – which today is going to feature the Sony FX30 and Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro. More affordable cameras with a more specifically “cinema” design are becoming more and more common.
