A cheaper solution is the $1995 USD BMPCC 6K G2. The maximum that it records at is 12 bit 6K BRAW 3.1 50 fps at 514 MB/s (if you can find media that is fast enough) and 12 bit 3.7K 6:5 BRAW 3.1 60 fps at 328 MB/s.
The $2199 USD Panasonic GH6 can record Anamorphic 4:3 5.8K (5760 x 4320) up to 30fps H.265 10-bit 4:2:0. Having a 4:3 sensor is an advantage for shooting with 2x anamorphic solutions. I'm not sure what resolution, but an article said that the GH6 can also shoot H.265 4:2:0 with a maximum bitrate of 300Mbps (37.5 MB/s). To record at 400 Mbps or less you need an SDXC UHS-II V60 which guarantee a 60MB/s data rate. The Angelbird V60 MK II has an advertised write speed of 136.4 MB/s, and has been tested on at 1091.2 Mbps.
BH Photo sells the Angelbird 256GB AV Pro MK2 UHS-II SDXC Memory Card for $109.99. 8 of these are 2TB at $879.92 USD.
The GH6 shoots 30fps H.265 10-bit 4:2:0 at 37.5 MB/s at a cost of ((3600x37.5) = (135000/1,000,000)x(109.99x4)) $59.40 USD per hour.
BH Photovideo charges $189.99 on sale for a high bitrate 299 MB/s write Sony 128GB SF-G Tough Series UHS-II V90 SDXC Memory Card.
Using this SDXC card, the H.264 ALL-Intra/MOV 4:2:2 10-Bit 3840 × 2160 at 29.97 fps 400 Mb/s (50 MB/s) at a cost of ((3600x50) = (180000/1,000,000)x(189.99x8)) $273.59 USD per hour.
These can also be used to record 4K DCI ProRes HQ at 60 fps on a BMPCC 4K, but at a cost of
((3600x241) = (867600/1,000,000)x(189.99x8)) $1,321.72 USD per hour!
If high bitrates were offered on most cameras using only SDXC cards for storage could anyone afford to use them?
6144x3456 BRAW 8:1 30p on the BMPCC 6K is 116 MB/sec.
Blackmagic recommends the 2TB Delkin Juggler SSD when recording BRAW 5.1 6144x3456 at 50 fps on the BMPCC 6K, at 308 MB/sec. It goes for $359.95 USD.
"In order to help you decide if you need a CFe card or not, we have prepared a simple table that lists all the modes that can only record to CFexpress Tybe B cards."
17:9 5.7K (5728 x 3024) up to 30fps 10 bit ProRes 422 or 422 HQ – bitrate between 1,016 (127 MB/s) and 10 bit ProRes 422 All-I 29.97 fps 1,903 (238 MB/s) Mbps.
Panasonic GH6 Video Modes that Require CFexpress Type B Cards
https://cameradecision.com/blog/Panason ... be-B-CardsFor anamorphic 2x solutions, the $1295 USD BMPCC 4K shoots 2.8K 4:3 anamorphic 12 bit BRAW 3.1 80 fps at 243 MB/s, and 10 bit ProRes HQ 80 fps at 510 MB/s.
Blackmagic pocket cameras capture more information that gives you greater latitude in post processing. The maximum bitrates of 4K DCI ProRes HQ at 60 fps on a BMPCC 4K takes up 241 Megabytes per sec. (1,928 mb/s). 6K DCI ProRes HQ at 50 fps on a BMPCC 6K takes up 478 Megabytes per sec. (3,824 mb/s).
Unfortunately, IBIS allows a sensor to overheat when recording at high fps, 12 bit raw with less compression. Their floating mount prevents them from acting as a heat sink. This is why no cinema camera (even Sony FX6) offers IBIS.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is able to record at 388 MB/s (3,104 mb/s) for long periods without overheating. This is due to a solid mounting of the sensor to a peltier cooler.
The Blackmagic cameras can record to the officially recommended Samsung T5 2TB SSD USB drives at $179.99 when on sale. No high bitrate storage is cheaper.
The Panasonic GH6 uses CFExpress Type B cards that are more expensive for 4K H.264 4:2:2 All-I recording at 800 Mb/sec. Due to their small size, you have to be very careful about budgeting storage/finding time to transfer over a 12 hour work day.
A 256GB CFExpress Type B card currently costs $269.99 on Amazon. 8 of them is 2TB at $2,159.92, about 12 times more.
Using a CFExpress type B card on a GH6, 4K DCI 17:9 ProRes (10-bit) 422 HQ 59.94 fps All-I records at up to ~2000 Mb/s (250 MB/s). That's ((3600x250)= (900,000/1,000,000)x(269.99x4)) $971.96 USD per hour!
4K DCI 17:9 H.264 4:2:2 All-I 29.97 fps recording at 800 Mb/s (100 MB/s). That's ((3600x100)= (360,000/1,000,000)x(269.99x4)) $388.79 USD per hour.
6.2K 3:2 ProRes (10-bit) 422 HQ 29.97 fps All-I records at up to ~2900 Mb/s (362.5 MB/s). That's ((3600x362.5) = (1,305,000/1,000,000)x(269.99x4)) $1,409.35 USD per hour!
Both the SanDisk and Sony CFExpress Ver.2.0 Type B cards above 64GB have this note when used in video recording:
(*1) Even if the camera body is not hot, video recording may end halfway due to heat generated by the card.
https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/su ... c_gh6.htmlCFexpress cards will thermal throttle, so they may only give you half of what their rated speed is with a continuous video recording once things heat up. This shows that having a compact body without adequate cooling could become a liability.
Using a BMPCC 6K G2, you could shoot in BRAW 5.1 4K DCI 17:9 30 fps at 78 MB/sec., ((3600x78) = (280,800/1,000,000)x(179.99/2)) $25.27 USD per hour.
if you shoot BRAW 5.1 6K 16:9 at 30 fps, you record at 185 MB/sec., ((3600x185) = (666,000/1,000,000)x(179.99/2)) $59.94 USD per hour.
BRAW 3.1 6K at any speed? Forgetaboutit. Blackmagic has no media recommended for it, but you could take a chance at 309 MB/sec. on a more reliable and 8X more expensive Cfast 2 card. That's ((3600x309) = (1,112,400/1,000,000)x699.95) $778.62 USD per hour!
You also have the option to shoot at BRAW 6K continuous quality, which depending on what's in the image, ranges from 185 MB/s (talking heads, diffused background) to 462 MB/s (ultra-wide angle, sharp wet leaves).
The Panasonic GH6 can shoot H.264 Long GOP at 150-200Mbps. The results might be similar to this:
The ability to capture a 12 bit BRAW 3.1 shot at 60 MB/s (480 mb/s) gives you a lot more data to use in post than a 422 10 bit LongGOP shot at 150 mb/s. Here is a comparison of the images of the BMPCC 4K recording with BRAW with a $200 USD 1965 cinematic Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 10-100mm and the Panasonic GH5S with a sharp Panasonic Leica 12-60mm:
