This is the fifth Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K sample released. These tests are with higher ISO levels between 1000 and 3200.
John Brawley talks about the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. ‘Models Close up at Night’ is his third camera test where he checked out the camera’s ability to handle different skin tones in very low light conditions. “This camera test was about shooting different skin tones in different low light conditions, so we wanted to keep it simple using the least amount of artificial lighting. We had a hotel room in Atlanta where we shot from 3pm until 11pm and got through about 70-80 shots cycling through different lighting and skin conditions. When you can get really great pictures at ISO3200 and above, things suddenly get very interesting. In this test, we were shooting two hours after sunset and you can still see blue sky around the buildings in the background! This camera can really read a long way into the shadows, which was a big surprise.” “I see this camera as continuing the evolution that Blackmagic started with the Pocket Cinema Camera by now making it 4K. Having something that we can work within really low light like this, means you can still get really great results with any type of ambient light.”

The footage looks good and the bokeh is nice as well. I do like that John is using the Olympus Pro MFT lenses so you can see the native sensors look.
Are these samples giving you what you want to see so far?
