In conclusion, if you are willing to invest in a proper rig for this cam, you cannot possibly be disappointed with the images coming out of it. The price to value of what you're getting is off the charts anyways. Personally, I would not care if mine did come scratched out of the box. I wanted to write an actual review seeing as how the other's on here seem to only be worried about scratches on the camera body. The image quality out of this camera is simply the best I have used.
I have used Cinema cams like the C300, panasonic EVA 1, sony fs7, blackmagic's own ursa mini pro and worked with RED footage from some of the lower tier RED cameras. The footage is VERY malleable, meaning it can be pushed and pulled in color grading much more than any DSLR camera could hope to be capable of.
Once you do, however, the images are simply fantastic. Ultimately, be prepared to spend a good chunk of change to rig the camera up and make it ergonomic and usable. This is not a DSLR nor is it designed to operate like one. There are other bits and pieces that you need to be aware of before investing in this camera.
I have a moderate gaming computer with pretty mid grade specs and i can play full res 6K raw files back with a color grade applied with no problem). You will need a relatively fast computer to be able to preview and edit the files (although, I am blown away by how well the footage plays back. You will need hard drives to store your media. They are much cheaper per gigabyte than SD cards and C fast cards. You will need some kind of recording media. I went with Tilta's battery grip, but there are plenty of V mount, Gold mount, Sony NPF and other battery solutions out there. You will need a monitor with it as the rear screen, while quite good, does not swivel which makes it impossible to see at certain angles. ne this for many cameras in the past here is my advice: spend the money and only cry once.Īs far as rigging there are plenty of great cages out there by smallrig, tilta, 8Sinn, etc. Obviously, the more money you spend rigging it, the better quality parts you will have (usually). You will have to spend anywhere from $400 to possibly above $1500 to unlock the full potential of this camera. It does need to be rigged up in a cage, but all cinema cameras do so I can't really look at that as a valid concern. The things that this camera does are quite amazing especially at this price point. I have only been able to test and play around with it for a few days, but wow.
