It was a gift for my kid who is in film school. It was recommended by an instructor as a really good introductory pro camera. Blackmagic is a recognized name that speaks for itself. His classmates all have camera envy.

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K Review

A superb pro-level filmmaker’s camera at a manageable size and a great price

Incredible compressed Blackmagic Raw recording; Lots of connectivity options; Packs a lot into its small size; Lightweight yet tough; Good value;

Slow autofocus; No continuous autofocus; No in-body stabilisation; Almost useless for stills;
