Dangerous, otherworldly – dragons are majestic creatures. They're also – considering Game of Thrones and How to Train Your Dragon 2 – having something of "a Hollywood moment." Thus, following in the grand tradition of nuts and pies, we've taken this opportunity to rank them. Below, find the 24 most famous dragons in popular culture (worst to best, in our humble opinion).
We'd better get to it – we don't want to be "dragon" our feet!
24. H.R. Pufnstuf, H.R. Pufnstuf
23. Albi the Racist Dragon, Flight of the Conchords
A lovable dragon whose bodily fluids turn into delicious treats – what's not to like? Oh right, his violent prejudice against people of different races.
22. Cassie, Dragon Tales
21. Spot, The Munsters
Eddie Munster's pet dragon was the Wilson of his day: often heard, rarely seen. Knowing the special effects available in the 1960s, that was probably a good thing.
20. Fin Fang Foom, Marvel Comics
19. Bub and Bob, Bubble Bobble
No, Bubble Bobble is not a shameless rip-off of Donkey Kong. You play as a dragon, not a plumber, and you have to dodge monsters, not barrels. It's completely different.
18. The Male Dragon, Reign of Fire
The dragons in Reign of Fire are basically your bog-standard dragons – they fly, they breathe fire, they're really mean – but for one evolutionary quirk: There's only one male of the species. When you're a roving band of dragon hunters led by Matthew McConaughey, that's the kind of knowledge that comes in handy.
17. Dragon Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty
No one wants to admit it, but Dragon Maleficent totally let Price Phillip off the hook. She made him lose his unusually fireproof shield – perfect time to move in for the kill! But no, she hesitated and ended up with a sword in her belly. Props for trying to get one last bite in, though.
16. The dragon, Beowulf
15. Puff the Magic Dragon, Puff the Magic Dragon
He's not a marijuana metaphor! One viewing of the Puff the Magic Dragon will set you right: Puff is an articulate, organized planner with his head on straight. You think he'd be able to get little Jackie Paper out to Honalee if he was a pot-smoking layabout?
14. Elliott, Pete's Dragon
13. Dragon, Shrek
She's not scary, just misunderstood. We personally wouldn't want a dragon to fall in love with us, but Donkey seemed to make it work.
12. Spyro, Spyro the Dragon
Like many dragons, Spyro is quadrupedal. Unlike those other dragons, though, his four-limbed nature eventually caused problems for his creators: Insomniac Games has said the fact that he couldn't hold anything in his hands made it hard to come up with new ideas for levels.
11. Haku, Spirited Away
10. Hungarian Horntail, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Dragons, Hagrid assures us, are misunderstood creatures. That would be easier to believe if Hagrid didn't think that every dangerous animal was misunderstood. If we don't know any better, we'd say the organizers of the Triwazrd Tournament were trying to get Harry Potter killed.
9. King Ghidorah, various Godzilla films
8. Charizard, Pokémon
7. Vermithrax Pejorative, Dragonslayer
1981's Dragonslayer may have its detractors, but even the haters have to acknowledge the glory of Vermithrax Pejorative, one of the great movie dragons. She's dangerous, yet she moves with elegance and grace, and you can't argue she has the best name of any dragon on this list.
6. Falkor, The Neverending Story
5. Drogon, Game of Thrones
The Mother of Dragons might say that she doesn't play favorites, but HBO clearly does; when was the last time Rhaegar or Viserion got as much screen time as Drogon? Still, it's for good reason: The only thing scarier than the site of Drogon approaching is the knowledge that he'll only get bigger.
4. Smaug, The Hobbit
Don't blame him for Peter Jackson splitting The Hobbit into three parts. The literary Smaug is one of fantasy's great villains, with the arch and slightly debonaire mind of an upper-crust playboy existing in the body of a terrifying dragon.
3. Draco, Dragonheart
2. Mushu, Mulan
Arguably the least intimidating dragon on this list (though you wouldn't hear him admit it), Mushu makes up for what he lacks in size and strength with something just as important – style.
1. Toothless, How to Train Your Dragon
Most dragons are mystical, distant creatures that we look at with a mixture of awe and fear. Toothless is not one of those dragons. But over the course of How to Train Your Dragon, we felt something we'd hardly felt for a dragon before: a real emotional attachment.

Great recipe. Chicken, bacon, gorgonzola...how can you go wrong? Next time I will cook the garlic that goes on the filling. It was too strong for me. I do love garlic but I think my chicken breast were to big and it didn't allow to "cook" the filling; the raw taste of the garlic overpower a little the rest.

Well, apparently, Utena co-creator Kunihiko Ikuhara watched it, or he wouldn't be tweeting about the exact wording of "You Wa Shock" earlier yesterday.
Well, to be fair, the show's a lot more toned down than the manga.
Don't even get fans started on that one. I've heard, Julia, Yuria, and Juria.
Actually, I think that trend started with Dororo, which was a great PS2 game released here called Blood Will Tell.
I think Six String Samurai's more inspired by Lone Wolf and Cub.
As for Initial D, kind of funny you bring it up, as the producer worked on one of the Fist OVAs, which was released here under New Fist of the North Star.

Love Fist of the North Star, and am definitely glad to see it getting some good reviews
I was so excited when the DVD sets finally started coming out, hopefully it'll do better this time around than last time.
Also gonna have to check out Sekirei now. I avoided watching it earlier mostly cause I have had my fill of harem shows (like 10 years ago), but this one seems like it might be amusing. Sounds a lot like Steel Angel Kurumi, which I enjoyed.

|I got about 4 or 5 episodes into Fist of the North Star before the sheer dullness of it killed my interest. It's incredibly repetitive (how many identical shirts does Kenshiro own?), there's no suspense (he is always guaranteed to win quickly and easily), the characters range from flat (Kenshiro, the villains) to completely annoying (Lin, the little boy), the revenge story was totally cliched, and no amount of cool exploding heads could keep me from getting really bored. Maybe if it had some humor or a sense of wry self-awareness I might have held out until it got good (and I assume it does get good?) but yeah, Fist of the North Star is, at least at the outset and in my not-so-humble opinion really, really baaaaaad.

|The breasts from the cover shot of Sekirei really really bother me for some reason. It's not that I'm offended by large breasts (I have my own) but the seem more like large missile launchers with nipples and seem more like an attachment then an actual part of her physique. Also they defy gravity like no one's business. It's like my mind is registering something that isn't supposed to be there and in the back of my mind it's freaking me out.

"Bringeth it on!" That'll be my new catchphrase. Pleasantly surprised to see Erin not totally hating Sekirei; I thought for sure she would.
Anyway, have a blast in Nippon, Erin! Very envious.

They are indeed disturbing, I should have said "missile" and not "bullet" breasts in my review. Fortunately they don't look that way throughout the show (just sometimes).
So did my husband. He hated that show, and freaked out all weekend because I gave it a Rental Shelf.

Yes, it does get much better. And Kenshiro gets his ass kicked later on too. The Shin arc is generally viewed as the weakest part of Fist of the North Star, and in the anime it is in fact loaded with filler.

This forced a burst of laughter from me as I can hear the pseudo-argument now: "Damn it, I get this crap from a bunch of whining kids. The last place I want it is in my kitchen!"
Everyone's a critic and they're everywhere.
By the way, just curious about something: Of the upcoming reviews piling up, are you disappointed most are now re-watches, or do you really enjoy sitting through them, even if to potentially give you a new perspective?
I was going to submit this as a question for an upcoming Staff Infection podcast, but I was afraid I'd forget it, since I just thought it up just now.

Wow, I also was totally expecting Sekirei to be in the perishable category! Nice that it's not.
Honestly, when I first checked out that show (back when it was airing) I passed on it after the first 2-3 episodes. I just thought it was "meh..." It wasn't until much later, out of shear boredom, that I watched more and thought, "Okay, its interesting." And now... I own the DVD... But yeah, I think what really saved it is the fact that characters start rebelling against "the game" and doing things their own way.
Also, I love how Tsukuimi drops water on people's heads when they're being dumb.
Can't wait to read that one!

I say with Box Sets, Art Side out. What is the point of having an artbox if it isn't used. If you just show the dvds you might as well toss the box in the trash.
The only point i can see showing dvds in the art box is showing that you have all the dvds and not missing any.

I was almost of the floor in shock from seeing that as well. When I saw the front page and that Sekirei was in this weeks I said well I know where that will be.
I was this shocked before when Bamboo put Ikki Tousen Season 1 Boxset in Rental Shelf.

I tend to get backed up on anime (I make a few huge purchases a year, as opposed to many small ones) so I leave the sets I haven't watched yet DVD-side out, as a reminder I need to get to it if I want my shelves lookin nice again. Once I watch it I then flip it art side out.

I agree with all this (although I would use the converse of the second point: keeping track of which volumes you still need.) You don't keep books spine-in for easy access, do you? Of course not.
Other benefits may include:
--You will probably need to use two-hands and take it down to remove the volume anyway, so use the side with firmer construction.
--If there is a random seismic or gravitational shift, you do not want the individual volumes flying all willy-nilly. Denting up the box is sorrowful, but beats damaging the disc.

Growing Yourself Back Up: Understanding Emotional Regressionby John Lee
View All Available Formats & Editions
We've all experienced moments when we lose control of a situation and ourselves. Now, in Growing Yourself Back Up, the first book to explain the idea of emotional regression to the general reader, bestselling author John Lee/i>
Someone pushes your buttons . . . you feel rage . . . fear . . . sweaty palms . . . unbidden tears . . . you feel like a kid . . .
We've all experienced moments when we lose control of a situation and ourselves. Now, in Growing Yourself Back Up, the first book to explain the idea of emotional regression to the general reader, bestselling author John Lee identifies the circumstances that cause these seemingly uncontrollable feelings and shows how they are directly tied to our experience as children.
No adult, explains Lee, need ever experience the helpless feelings of childhood again. Here are his proven methods and visualization exercises, developed in his popular workshops, for recognizing, preventing, and diffusing regression in ourselves and others. He teaches, for example, that adults cannot be abandoned, they can only be left; if we're feeling abandoned we're regressing. He also reminds us that no matter how overwhelmed we are, adults always have options; if we believe we don't, we're in a regression.
Growing Yourself Back Up will show you how to:
* develop strong emotional boundaries and convey them to others
* learn the Detour Method that reverses regression
* confront without regressing
* communicate with the authority figures who push your buttons
* minimize regression at family functions
Lee offers hope--as well as practical strategies that work--for conquering those childlike feelings of powerlessness that are almost always rooted in regression.

John Lee explains life, and how I live it in a simple text that allows me to recognize not just when I am regressing, but where I have regressed to, and how to bring myself out and up to who I am today. When I 'grow myself back up', I can communicate more effectively, and accept I do not have to feel ashamed of my process. John Lee's workshops are the most engaging, and REAL I have ever had the pleasure to participate in.
If you have any contact with others on a professional basis, this is THE book to keep you sane! This book will help you in every relationship - personal or professional - as it contains clear & and easy-to-follow steps to keep you focused on the issue at hand. Each of us have learned methods of coping, communicating & processing whaat we "thought" we heard the other person say. We learned these methods as children. However, these methods actually sabotage our ability to communicate as adults. Not surprisingly, many, if not most, of our communications, conversations and/or interactions with others are stressful, intense, heated, confrontational, emtionally-laden, and involve opposing opnions or conflicting positions. Without a conscious effort to remain "focused" on the issue at hand, we automatically resort to our childhood methods of coomunicating - which does not serve us well as adults. This book has all the tools, tips, scripts, and detailed instructions you need to "grow yourself back up." If you are willing to change, and make the effort, this book can transform you into the highly-successful, productive, effective, drama-free adult of your dreams. As with anything in Life, it works if you work it. YMMV.
This is a book outside the box information. Once you start reading it, you cannot put it down. I've learned so much about myself thru this book. I highly recommend it.
John Lee's book has changed my life and perhaps saved my marriage. I am recommending this book to all my grown children and my friends. This book helps one to understand why he/she has "flashbacks" and projects on the people around him/her things that happened in childhood... how these distant "neural memories" affect us today. An absolute "must read" for everyone!

The show feels great, but has a small fit. You will need to buy them a size larger than you normally wear.
Now, fortunately, I read the reviews about sizing. ORDER A FULL SIZE LARGER. I wear an 11 regular in Nike running shoes. I ordered a 12 in these shoes and it is snug. The width seems fine to me so I think you can get away with your normal width size. However, in length, do not go just a 1/2 size up. Go a full size. You will not regret it. If you go a 1/2 size or true size, you will be sending the shoes back.
Overall I am loving riding with them, they are perfect in every way for kicking into footholds yet being ableto get out quickly if upside down in the water. I would get the matflex 3 or 4's over any other ASICS wrestling shoe for riding stand ups.

I had this working before where I was able to change the color for the sub-header (description) in the Suffusion theme.
I went to try another color and it stays the same as the Title.
I do have it set to Custom styles under Header in the Skinning option area. I keep saving the color and refreshing the page and even re-booted my computer, but it won't change.
I then tried changing the title color and the sub title changed along with it to the same color although it is set to the other color.
I do not know why it is not working. I have the same settings as before. My site isn't ready yet. Hope someone can help.

Eurodam Cruise Review by jeroenk: Moderate cruise experience
Overall Member Rating
Moderate cruise experience
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Copenhagen
We did this special 4 day introductory cruise for Dutch passengers, from Copenhagen via Oslo to Amsterdam. This was our second HAL cruise. We did the Maasdam in 2002.
Unfortunately most of the extras that Maasdam had in those days were not on this Eurodam cruise. A few examples are:
- There was no Captains Toast, or a show were the captain and officers were introduced.
- No farewell dinner (Master Chefs Dinner)
- On the formal night there was hardly anything to do in the evening. Instead of a show there was a movie in the theatre.
- The evening show were actually very bad. Every day the same group of singers and dancers, that performed a production show that Dutch in general do not like.
- No chocolate extravaganza
- On Maasdam 2002 we had high tea every day. On this Eurodam voyage only once.
- The ship looked like a ghost ship in the evening hours. At about 10pm, the public areas in the ship were empty.
- Waiters were very hurried during More the Open Seating, serving the different courses very quickly, to make people leave very early. Dining should be a relaxing event.
- Public areas are very dark and almost empty in the evening. We are missing the cosy atmosphere that was on the Maasdam.
We sailed with HAL a few times more. Most of the points mentioned above were solved on the other ships. The entertainment however, on HAL ships is of very poor quality. Less

I have mixed feelings about my new Pocket Cinema Camera. It has lots of pluses and 6 major minuses. Here's my thoughts regarding the camera operating on Firmware 1.4.1 released 8-23-13. Hopefully, by the time you read this, Black Magic Designs will have corrected many of the problems indicated below via updated firmware.
I work in broadcast television production, specifically, TV commercial production for clients and ad agencies across the US. I shoot a lot of hospital TV campaigns and I wanted a small camera that could be used for cutaways in crowded operating rooms and other areas where a full-size camera is awkward and attracts too much attention.
Let me state that this camera, although small and "consumer like" in physical appearance is not a consumer camera. It can only shoot video, no stills.
The plusses: 1. Excellent resolution, the camera will actually do 1000 lines of horizontal resolution as tested on the 3 foot resolution chart in our offices. And that's 1,000 lines looking at the encoded ProRes422HQ file! I've never seen that resolution on a DSLR (unless you're shooting RAW).
2. For all practical purposes, there's no visible aliasing or moiré pattern interference in the recorded images. I've deliberately tried to create problems for the camera with certain fabrics, venetian blinds, brick patterns etc. The picture is very, very good.
3. The ProRes422HQ encoder is excellent. As far as I'm concerned, the best there is for compressed media. It's the encoder Canon should have used in their C300 & C100. It does require a very fast memory card. I bought the 64Gig Sandisk Extreme Pro card. ProRes422HQ burns through a 64GB card in about 35+ minutes.
4. The camera's HDMI output (and recording) is 10bit 4:2:2. This means no "banding" or distinct visible steps in a gradated sky or BG. The HDMI is selectable between a "clean feed" or with visual overlays added. The live HDMI also has embedded audio. (All current DSLR's have only 8 bit video, and Canon in the 5D Mk3 does not embed live audio, so external recordings from HDMI are silent.) The 1024 steps from black to white allow very good detail in blacks and whites.
5. The camera and its lens mount are very strong and made of CNC machined metal. Other than the buttons and LCD screen, there's no visible plastic.
6. The camera uses an active 4/3 lens mount for its "super 16" sized sensor. This was a good choice as with inexpensive adapters, almost any lens can be used on the camera. Having owned an 16mm Arriflex SRII, the hardest thing you'll be trying to find is a really good wide-angle, fast lens. You really need a 10mm lens as your wide-angle. Most of the older 16mm "C" mount lenses will vignette on this camera. If you go that route, make sure to see the lens work on your BMPCC before spending lots of money. Some older "C" mount wide-angles might cover the sensor, but have far less resolution at the edges. (Some company needs to make a 10mm, 4/3 mount lens with an F2 aperture.)
7. The camera has a built-in log low-contrast "film" setup that works very well for post-production grading. (The camera's "video" setting clips too much white and black detail for me.)
Now the unfortunate minuses:
1. The present firmware failed to properly switch the gain of the mic/line input so a typical mic level external microphone can be used. It currently works very well with external, unbalanced line level sources (-12db) The tiny internal mics pick up ambience when the level setting is 90% or more.
2. The camera literally "eats" batteries. It uses inexpensive Nikon EN-EL20 batteries. I'm sure the battery was chosen because it's the biggest lithium-ion battery that will fit in the handgrip. Without exaggeration, a battery lasts 15 to 20 minutes. You'll need 6 or more batteries. There's lots of inexpensive ones available on the internet that seem to work as well (or as poorly) as the camera supplied battery. You should also buy a couple inexpensive wall chargers for your collection of batteries.
3. If the camera sees a bright specular highlight, like a bare CFL bulb in your shot, the clipped white bulb will appear to be bigger than it really is. The same with car headlights at night. It's not as bad as it sounds. Several people I showed video to didn't notice the effect until I pointed it out. On certain shots, such as sun reflections on rippled water, it actually looks pretty good.
4. The dreaded "black dot sun". When a 14 bit A to D converter hits maximum input from the CMOS sensor (IE: 14 ones 11111111111111) the next step roll over of the A-D is to zero or (00000000000000). This effect only happens when you're shooting directly into the sun or possibly the open filament of a clear lightbulb. I've only seen the problem when I intentionally try to cause it. I believe the larger Black Magic camera has the same problem.
5. On a bright, sunny day, the camera's LCD screen is not usable. It's a pretty low contrast LCD and I had to use an external Zacuto EVF to shoot outdoors. Maybe some company will at least offer an attachable 16x9 rubber hood with eye diopter for the camera.
6. There are no VU meters or any other sound level indicators on the camera. This is a real problem if you're shooting a critical interview. However, an external Zacuto EVF or Alphatron EVF will display HDMI audio levels on their LCD screens.
Despite its low points, I love the look of the final graded image. The color is very true to reality and not very "punchy". At 800 ASA, it has a tiny bit of noise which looks very much like 35mm film grain. As I said at the beginning of this writing, hopefully by the time you read this, Black Magic Designs will have addressed the problems with a firmware update.
It's a shame the BMPCC camera was released before its firmware was ready, but that's an every growing trend today with manufacturers. The camera has a lot of potential.

It's an interesting B camera for a well controlled situations (staged shootings). But don't let yourself be tricked with this $[$] price. To make it really work you should be ready to spend another $1500-2000 on it. First of all you need to choose the lens. BMPCC is very light and has no in-camera stabilization. It supports only those lenses with stabilization that has manual stabilizator-switch on them. Considering the 3x crop factor the one and only option for this M4/3 camera is Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 Asph. lens. You won't need anything else (And anything else will be hell of a shaky). It's an awesome lens, but it costs $1119. Take this seriously. Without stabilization forget to use this «supposed-to-be pocket» camera hand-held. You may cut the spendings on lens by buying a tripod instead with all the limitations it brings. The battery life is ridiculous (20-30 minutes) so you'll need a bunch (5-10) of extra EN-EL20 batteries ($15 each) to run the day. BMPCC is very picky for SD cards (it takes only the fastest and most expensive ones) and since it's on ProRes codec (1Gb+ per minute) you going to need for example a few (2-3) San Disc 64GB class 10 45Mbit/sec SDHC cards ($70-150 each) and 90Mbit/sec cards if you're going to shoot RAW. And this automatically brings the problem of data-storage. You're gonna need really big external hard drives (2TB WD My Passport as example – $100+) to store your video. The in-camera mic is garbage. Be ready to spend another $300 on external mic. LED display is garbage too. You can't work with it in a daylight. Are you ready to buy some external monitor or electronic viewfinder? The menu is crazy. To change ISO and stuff you'll need to click through 5 steps of date settings each time you need to change something! You can't preview how the changes in settings you're making affect the image. You see where it goes? Don't get me wrong. I love the image I get from the camera but this camera is an early bird, it's a prototype and I don't want to pay $2500-3000 to be a beta-tester for Blackmagic. I've dreamed about this camera and tested it for almost 30 days in my documentary work telling myself the mantra «Keep it! It's not a problem to switch from hand-held to tripod…» but now I'm shipping it back. I'll better wait for the next model.

Comments about Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera:
The quality of the footage you shoot with this camera will make you smile. It looks so much like film. Amazing quality for the price! The only thing to keep in mind is that the batteries don't last long. You will need at least two extra batteries and a stand alone charger so you can swap them out while shooting. The blackmagic batteries work better than the aftermarket brand batteries. In my opinion this camera's footage looks so much better than Canon 5D Mark III footage.
Comments about Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera:
Started to use the camera. Getting used to the controls. The camera has a solid build and feels good when holding it. I have bought this along with red Rock view finder and frame which has an awesome sturdy look.
the battery life drops faster which is something to be managed with a battery pack I guess. I am happy with the purchase

Comments about Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera:
The dawn of the 4K DSLR is among us. However, has any DSLR proved they can handle Full-HD broadcast specs? The 2009 DSLR revolution that took place, in many ways moved fast. So too has the specs among many of the name brand photography companies in the past 2 years.
What we have here with the BMPCC is an image that, in many ways, is "unaltered" from the sensor. At that same time, it's an image that allows proper headroom for grading and/or portraying a particular emotion. Sure, it's wonderful how the 13 stops of dynamic range may be found by all whom use this camera. However, the end results not being altered or affected, particularly by a major-brand camera manufacturers, truly creates independent and/or professional results. In my opinion, getting consistent results, requires a multitude of professional shooter/colorist attributes. This opinion is largely based on how the image is "unaltered."
This image is so good at what it does, you may not be ready for it. Hmm? "Log" or "Raw," truly benefits from a "great eye," patients, and seasoned professional. In my opinion, it is well worth being patient with this camera as the end-result is professional in nature.
So, as new DSLR specs continue to press into the next generation of DSLRs, while broadcast specifications continue to allude the major-brand camera manufacturers (prosumer camera market), it's time to acknowledge that this is a truly professional camera. In my opinion, it's the best camera since it's release in the prosumer market back in 2013. I am fortunate to have "all of the accessories," but even without, the BMPCC's image is so well balanced for professional use and/or independent user that it's truly a remarkable opportunity.
I've owned quite a few BMCC cameras and even one BMPCC camera in the past. The BMPCC appears to have a cutout of the BMCC sensor, but because it's 1.25 times smaller, it doesn't require a top and bottom readout scan while capturing an image... On all BMCC cameras, if you truly look to expose for the full 13 stops of dynamic range, you're going to find the "dead-centered line" in your image where the top and bottom sector don't capture light in exactly the same manner.
Thanks to compressed Raw, ProRes, approved media from BM, and a wonderful assortment of professional accessories from third-party manufacturers, the BMPCC has an amazing life span. Having been down the 4K 4:2:0 codec route, I am truly happening to be coloring 10-bit and 12-bit footage.
- - - - - - - - - - -
To negatives about the camera:
The sensor suffers from moire and aliasing (Mosaic Engineering offers a filter to remove aliasing and moire that also works with Metabones Speed Boosters).
The camera will heat up and stuck pixels will appear in your low-light footage (appears to be an issue with all BM cameras).
The HDMI port needs extra support; something that firmly secures the cable and the camera body.
The battery life / power consumption of this camera may require additional battery solution(s) to reach the standard big-name DSLR / Mirrorless camera manufacturers length.

The Positives about the camera:
Great image quality.
12-Bit Raw to a SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC!!!
Assortment of ProRes codecs... To an SDXC!!!
3.5" screen is sharper than the BMCC's 5".
Very reliable professional instrument that inspires confidence for both the camera operator and the colorist.
Active MFT mount that can be adapted to an assortment of lensing dating back to the beginning of photography and/or cinematography and to the latest!

Really stellar dynamic range in a small package.
Comments about Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera:
If you're switching from DSLR to a serious cinema rig this is the best place to start. Fortunately for you all the firmware updates are completed and the camera was finally finished about a year and a half after it was released.
First let's address all the best of complaints -
You can format cards in camera
It is audio levels
Focus peaking
Several flavors of prores
It also has raw (which you'll almost never use)
Problems that aren't going away -
It still has rolling shutter
It isn't fantastic in lowlight
The crop factor is a bummer
YOU WILL NEED A RIG AND POWER SOLUTION (it still eats batteries for lunch)
You will need external sound as the pre amps are total trash. Internal mic is for reference sound only.
Advice from a user of over two years -
Do yourself a favor and skip the micro 4/3 glass and buy the metabones EF mount speed booster when you pick up this camera (this will help marvelously with the low light issues and reduces crop from 3x to about 1.75x). Start collecting cinema prime glass at the small and big ends. The Samyang/Rokinon stuff works beautifully. And get a decent constant Aperture EF photog zoom lens for the focal lengths in between.
Most importantly shoot, shoot, and shoot some more. When you're done shooting go crazy with color grading because this camera will make you a better colorist. The codec lets you push your creativity in a hundred different directions.
If you're using this camera you're getting honest and real and organic images that are tough to duplicate on a DSLR (especially one in this price range). The more you shoot with this camera the better your eye for composition will get.

This camera is working great for me so far! I shot a short film with it, and the quality of the image is amazing. There is so much that can be done in post with the color grading. A great little camera that I would highly recommend.
Best Uses
Comments about Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera:
Like all Blackmagic Design cameras the Pocket Cinema Camera is polarizing. On the one hand, it's small, shoots ProRes and even RAW, but on the other hand it needs a number of accessories to make it a really useable camera (defeating the pocket-ability of the Pocket Camera), and the battery life on it is TERRIBLE. Further, when the camera was released it was clear that the company that produced it is a post production-oriented company. It had features an editor or colorist would love while it lacked features that a shooter would find absolutely necessary. However, to BMD's credit they have continued to develop the software in the camera so that it has most of the features that a shooter needs: histogram, focus peaking, audio levels, time remaining on media, and even the ability to format cards in-camera.
I have been using the camera for about two months now and it is stable and reliable. Most of what I have been using it for is to shoot some lectures and I have been happy with the quality of the images the camera produces.
Every professional camera needs to have a super power in order to justify it as a purchase. For the PCC, it's clearly the image quality for the price of the camera. For less than the cost of a high end DSLR the PCC produces sharp, high quality images recorded in a very high quality codec.
The PCC records a number of very situation-specific flavors of ProRes. It supports ProRes Proxy for the ultimate in record times. It also has ProRes LT for those times when you need longer record times and do not plan on doing extensive color grading. It offers both ProRes and ProRes HQ for when you want 10-bit recording. And, of course, it does record RAW (although I have not yet shot anything in RAW). Record times are surprisingly good. Using a 64 GB card, I get slightly over an hour of record time in regular ProRes. This is an under-appreciated element of the PCC's game. ProRes offers a great balance of quality, record time, and media cost. ProRes (and not even the HQ version) is suitable for most shooting situations. Green screen shoots or other kinds of shoots that will involve visual effects will benefit from the higher quality, but there is no need to fetishize RAW for ordinary use. Another really nice touch is that the camera has two record modes: Video and Film. Video produces a nice image that needs little or no additional color grading. Film uses a log (flat) format to preserve as much latitude as possible for post. When recording in Film the camera offers the ability to monitor it with a preset LUT so that you get a sense of where your highs and lows are.
Like every camera, the PCC has limitations and trade offs.The sensor is Super 16 sized so it won't give you that crazy shallow depth of field look that a full frame (or even Super 35/APS-C) sensor yields. The upside of this, though, is that keeping your shots in focus is much, much easier. I love the shallow depth of field look myself but I also like being able to keep my shots in focus if somebody moves unexpectedly. Make no mistake, the PCC depth of field is really good compared to traditional 1/3" and 1/2" video cameras.
The camera also lacks built-in ND filters, but this doesn't bother me much on a camera of this size. (That BMD's larger cameras also don't have ND filters is another thing altogether). If you are going to shoot outdoors during the day either you will need to have a matte box with filter trays or attach ND filters directly to your lenses.
This is a camera that works well in controlled situations but will be a challenge in a run-and-gun scenario. The camera is so small that it is difficult to operate hand held without getting that unpleasant high-frequency vibration that small cameras inevitably have. With a wide angle field of view this isn't a problem, but on longer focal lengths it's ugly. This isn't a defect of the camera or its sensor, it's the physics of small cameras.
The audio quality of the PCC is not great. Firstly, the internal mic is really only useful for syncing. It is no bueno. The camera has an 1/8" audio input but the preamps in the camera aren't great so I would not recommend using this as my main audio source either. This means that, for high quality audio, the PCC requires dual sound recording. For someone who has been shooting with DSLRs then this is business as usual, but for someone used to shooting on traditional video cameras with XLR inputs it can be frustrating because it's one more thing to do during the shoot. I run my mics into a Zoom H4 and then take the headphone out of the zoom into the PCC as precaution to not hitting the record button hard enough on the Zoom (don't laugh, it's bitten me more than once).
The biggest let down on the PCC is the battery. It's terrible. The battery that ships with the unit will last just long enough to check focus and other pre-roll tasks and then it will die. Seriously. I just keep the camera plugged in to power. If I were going to have to shoot away from power I would pony up for a battery adapter that I could attach on a rig (again, this camera needs a rig to make it heavy enough to use hand held). The unit runs a little hot (I often record for nearly an hour at a time) but it has never dropped a frame or reset itself.
The final element of note with the PCC is the micro four thirds mount. If you have a bunch of MFT lenses then you are good to go. If, like me, you have a bunch of Canon glass then you will need an adapter for it. If you get a passive adapter be aware that you will not have the ability to control the iris on Canon lenses (they are electronic after all!). I opted for the Metabones Speedbooster and I am happy I did.
Not only does it allow the use of Canon lenses, but it also offers electronic control over the iris (although actually controlling an iris with the directional keys on the back of the camera is counter intuitive to me--clicking the left arrow closes the iris and raises the f-stop). Even better, because of the magic of the Speedbooster (focusing light on the sensor) the crop on the PCC drops from over 3x to about the same crop as an Super 35/APS-C sensor. But the super-magic-Christmas-gift-happy-yummy-fun-time part is that the Speedbooster adds 1 2/3 stops to the sensor (hence the name). My 50mm 1.8 lens becomes a Stanley Kubrick-like .9. Now, I don't often need to shoot by candle light but where this makes a real difference is with something like an f4 24-105 lens. It's a lot cheaper than the L version and with the Speedbooster the lens shoots at 2.6. Impressive.
I don't want to get into a full review of the Speedbooster but I learned a couple of important things in using it with the Pocket Cinema Camera. First, there is a model specific to this camera--make sure you order the right one. Second, the adapter fits *very* tightly on the camera (this is a good thing) so you have to turn it pretty hard to get it all the way on so the pins can connect for iris control. Third, the Speedbooster has a pretty sizable diameter. It comes with a support foot which I removed but the outer edge of the adapter still extends below the bottom of the camera. When I mounted the camera on the plate for my Manfrotto tripod it was tilted upward. (Weirdly, I found no mention of this fact anywhere on the internet.) Ultimately, I had a little piece of aluminum machined with a 1/4" 20 hole to use as a spacer and that fixed the issue. (The screws for the Manfrotto are just long enough hold everything together.)
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I debated with myself about buying this camera for the specific application I was considering it for (shooting lectures) versus a fixed lens pro video camera. Even with the additional cost of the Metabones Speedbooster I came out ahead in terms of cost and I have the PCC for more my more creative shoots. Thumbs up!

So there are thousands of in-depth reviews out there, so I will keep my simple.Buy this. Yup. That's it. But this. People will complain about that it's battery only last about 15-30 minutes. But who cares? That's about as much footage as you're going to get out of an SD card. So change them both at the same time and move on already.People are so caught up with 4k this, 4k that. And so was I for a while. But with the level of image quality you can get from this camera, who needs 4k, or 6k or whatever else the latest cutting edge movie has.There is one thing to note that very few people talk about. And it's how the sensor is cooled. And this reason is why so many people have different times for battery life. So, without getting into a bunch of science, it's basically this: the hotter the sensor, the more energy it takes to cool it. So if you're shooting for long periods in the hot sun, expect to go through batteries a lot more often. But that really isn't a problem once you know about it and work around it. Remember, there are a bunch of haters out there that trash this or that. And though it's good to have an opinion, it's also not a perfect world. There is no one thing that will solve every problem. And for $ price point, you can't beat the few problems that the Pocket Cinema Camera has. Which honestly, aren't really problems at all.This is a product that Blackmagic should be proud of. I'm going to buy a few more as time goes by.

If you understand that this camera, like all of the Blackmagic camera's are not DSLR's then you will have a remarkable time with this camera and the other BM cameras.
If you are into cinematography then you will appreciate this camera for what it is - a pocket cinema camera.
Audio is terrible, not the greatest low light camera, but neither is the RED EPIC ... see how I am comparing this $999 camera to a real cinema camera and not a DSLR?????
Awesome camera for the price. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone starting in cinematography before I would any DSLR and I own the GH4 and 5dMkIII. Add a metabones speedbooster and OMG ... heaven!

This is a great camera if you are looking to get started in cinema. Note: This camera is not for taking casual family videos. This camera is for professionals.
The good: The picture quality is amazing. With the ability to shoot RAW, you have the freedom to process the video any which way you want to in post. DaVinci Resolve Lite is a free download from Blackmagic Design that lets you do a lot with color correction. The program can be intimidating, but there are tutorials on YouTube for it. If you're not ready for a RAW workflow, the camera can also shoot in various flavors of ProRes 422 at bitrates as high as 220 mbps, which still captures plenty of data to play with in post.
The active MFT mount makes it easy to get an adaptor to be able to mount just about any lens.
Auto focus and focus peaking are good features of the current firmware that help you keep things in focus.
The bad: No camera has a good microphone on the camera itself. But the mic on this camera is particularly awful. I have not tried connecting an external mic to this camera yet, but I have heard in other reviews that the preamps even for mics connected to the camera are also pretty bad. It's best to use the audio from this camera only for reference audio to sync up audio from another recorder.
The screen is rather dim. If you're shooting outside in bright sunlight, the screen is hard to see, which makes it hard to judge focus and exposure. Third party viewfinders are on the market, which may help, or an external monitor would be a good investment, as the camera has a clean HDMI output.
Speaking of the screen, it's not a touch screen. So you're stuck with navigating the menu system with buttons, which is kind of cumbersome. This camera has the capability to add metadata to your shots, but in order to add said metadata, you have to use an on-screen qwerty keyboard using the up, down, left, right, and OK keys.
A lot of reviews will tell you that this camera does not do well in low light. I have found that it does OK in low light, but you will get the best color in a well-lit environment. However, in bright light, like outdoors on a sunny day, you'll want to make sure you have a good ND filter, especially if you want to get the blue sky in your shot. ISO ranges from 200 to 1600.
All in all, it is a good camera for anyone that wants to get started, maybe shooting short or indie films, or working with RAW. It definitely takes some skill to master, but it yields good results in the end.

I am currently filming a TV Mini Series and this camera has put out images so incredible I almost can't believe it! The saddest part is too that my DSLR that was $[$]is being smoked by a $[$]Camera! I use Rokinon Cinema Glass and Follow Focus and the 1600 ISO is actually more than usable it's amazing! This camera isn't for wedding filmmakers but anyone looking to do short films, indie films, music video, etc. this is hands down the best camera you can buy for the price!!!

It's a powerful little camera. It's got a few minor flaws ie battery life and screen resolution. But for the price, power (12 bit raw), and image quality you really can't complain. And if you can get it on sale like I did (with Panasonic zoom lens,battery and SD card) it's practically thief. Good job Blackmagic!

I have had this camera for over six months, and have been through a number of firmware udpates.
Currently, the latest version offers on-screen frame guides, including 1.78:1, 1.85:1 and 2.35:1. It also offers audio level meters, the ability to format the card in the camera (exFAT or HFS), as well as the ability to show how much time is remaining on the card. It also has ProRes HQ, 4:2:2, LT and Proxy recording. These features were offered in "pieces" over the firmware updates since 2014.
This camera DOES NOT have an optical low pass filter. Though it does not use line skipping from a larger raster than 1920x1080 like many dSLR cameras do, you will still get occasional aliasing and rainbow colour patterns on some surfaces. --- THERE DOES EXIST A FILTER that will work with this camera, but I cannot elaborate here.
Like others have stated, the image quality is astounding. The images do come out flat -- this is normal. If you are recording in Video mode, a simple colour boost will do wonders. If you record in FILM mode, you will need much more advanced colour grading to pull an image.
ProRes HQ is stellar, and this camera could be used as a B-Cam with much higher end gear.
Others have already covered the quirks, I won't be redundant! This is a wonderful piece of gear for what it is, and I am happy to have been able to pick one up!

Incredible machine for the price. The images and flexibility it produces are absolutely outstanding. Low light performance isn't amazing, mine had a bunch of "dead" pixels, but honestly it really doesn't matter in the end, they aren't noticeable, especially when compressed for web or DVD. Black magic have continued to update this camera, which is just amazing, it gets better and better! The sound is unusable, but you should use an external mic anyway. My only complaint is that scopes and sound monitoring don't go out to external monitors via HDMI, but I'm hoping that is fixed in a software update. Overall, the camera requires to be rigged up a little to be useable, and a bit of practice, but what it can produce is outstanding, regardless of how cheap the price tag is.

Great footage. I need to get better at color grading to really bring out the best in it. Easy to use, not much learning curve. Works fine for studio setups and documentary-style run & gun. LCD is a bit dim but useable in bright sunlight. Needs external mic and/or recorder for useable sound. Manufacturer releases firmware updates frequently, often with useful feature upgrades.
