Hello dears
My background is photography and I exclusively shoot with Nikon gears, recently I got interested in video shooting , mainly product videography, I’m also interested in color grading and I started to learn that in Davinci Resolve, I find myself in a great confusion because I cannot decide and I’m really torn between Blackmajic Pocket 4k and 6k, I want to use make us of my Nikon lenses and I do not want starting over with different lenses brand , very difficult for me to sell my Nikon lenses and buy other brand lenses, this option is not practical in my case since I live in Africa , if I pick 4K I have to get speed-booster ( expensive) and I’m getting more light and wider perspective especially with 0.64 x , as you know for both camera I still need extra budget for accessories such cage, SDD card, gimbal ect.. , with 6k I can buy cheap Nikon F/G lenses to Ef mount adapter which I have not any idea how they work or what compromise I will face , this represent my biggest concern and fear, I do not want to get shocked by unforeseen bad surprise going this route , as you know I have no chance to return it back easily , I know with 6k I have to deal with bigger file sizes if I want to shoot in raw and I do not think this is a problem for me, it is the price I’m willing to pay to master color grading in Davinci, beside I heard if I shoot raw in 6k and down-scaled it to 4k I will get nicer and sharper image than when shooting in 4k raw in pocket 4k ( correct me if I’m wrong ). You can sense from my post I’m more inclined to 6k but still your advice is so important to me, you are the guys who I can trust
I’m sorry if this question being raised before in the forum
