Comparing camera sensitivity numbers

PostThu Mar 28, 2024 12:33 am

Hi there. New user here. <tips hat>

I've just started working recently at a small Christian TV station with a bunch of BM gear: Ursa Mini Pro 4.6K (3), Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 (6-ish), Pocket Cinema 4K (2), and a couple of ATEMs (the largest being a HD8 ISO).

Today I was asked how the Micros would perform in a specific situation and I thought I could answer pretty quickly by looking at sensitivity specs, but when I pulled them all up, the Micros were the only one that stated sensitivity at 0 dB gain.

So because I'm not a "real" camera guy (I'm a editor/audio dude) I ask: comparing the Micro to the BMPCC and the URSA, are they "close enough" sensitivity-wise?

Many thanks!
Dan
