The BM Ursa Mini Pro, is not a “point and shot” video camera, that gives yiu great results right out of the box. It is a camera that requires a considerable work flow, once a scene is shot, to get those “great looking” images, considerable post processing is required using Resolve to “process” the images I to useable video. Think of it as processing a film negative into a useable positive print ready to use.
This will require a fairly substantial computer that can run Resolve and handle 4K PorRes or raw files that are much bigger than those from a Canon DSLR.
Also, a camera like the Ursa Mini requires a good working knowledge of lighting and how it effects your image quality, filters, including IR-Cut filtering, etc. it requires a substantial tripod, your small Canon DSLR sticks are not going to work. You will need to add an EVF and shoulder kit for shoulder mounted shooting, a good mic to get useable audio, and the list goes on. By the time to get all the bits yiu need, an extra $2-4K is required above the camera cost.
Yes the price point for good looking, high quality images is coming down. You have the Ursa Mini, with its Alexia like image quality, and the new Panasonic EVA1, with its Varicam-like quality image. Both cameras under $8K, for the base camera. But both cameras will still need some added bits to be fully useful, so you are looking at something closer to $10K or more to get a kitted out Camera that is ready to use.
