##### BMPCC6K’s Super 35mm sensor provides greater dynamic range and cinematic look.

So I’ve had the [Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K](https://nofilmschool.com/blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-6k) for a few days to test out and I have to admit, it’s been really fun to shoot with. Why? Because it’s so damn easy to jump in with both feet. If you’re a BMPCC4K user, you will definitely be able to hit the ground running. But beware, like it’s 4K cousin, you’re going to want to have more than one battery on a shoot, or it’s going to be a very short day.

It’s important to know that this camera shares about 75% of the same components with the 4K model. Factor out the [BMPCC](https://www.adorama.com/l/?searchinfo=blackmagic+design+blackmagic+pocket+cinema+camera&kbid=913702) 6K’s larger Super 35mm image sensor and the larger form factor (including a protruding nose housing for the full-frame EF mount), and it’s essentially the same camera. So, since we’ve already reviewed the [Pocket Cinema Camera](https://www.adorama.com/l/?searchinfo=blackmagic+design+blackmagic+pocket+cinema+camera&kbid=913702) 4K [here](https://nofilmschool.com/Review-Blackmagic-Pocket-4K), we recommend spending some time with that review for comparison and contrast.

And, before I get into my first impressions of Blackmagic’s 6K Pocket Model, take a look at [some BMPCC6K footage we shot out at Burning Man](https://nofilmschool.com/bmpcc6k-test-burning-man) during a field test.
