Just some late night shower thoughts, but i was thinking about the reality of if the BMPC4K is actually a good bang for your buck.
Hear me out.
When i was working with the camera on an interior film student set, one of the main issues was not having enough light. We were blasting the set with the cheap leds we had, but it just wasn't enough to get a good picture. (yes the camera settings were correct.)
Something i was thinking about, was comparing the costs of this camera vs, other cameras which have way better low light support and cost about 4000-6000.
Taking in the cost for Bright and quality lights, the time and money you would spend rigging out the camera each shoot, and the breakability of it (with no insurance) i am starting to question the actual cost effectiveness of the BMPC4K.
Especially if you do run and gun, i dont see the benifit of the BMPC4k at all, mostly because of the time you would spend rigging, and the time you would spend blasting the shot with lights. (it wouldn't make sense for a docu)
With all of these taken into consideration, it seems like a much more smart and cost effective solution to buy an Ursa 12k, or something like a sony Fx6. The extra 3000 or so, vs the amount of time the camera will last you (plus the better resolution/full frame) sound like a way better deal for me.
At the end of the day though, it depends on how much money you have, if your a beginner or not, and if you value your time when setting up cameras or having to pay to repair or replace the more fragile product.
I wanna hear your thoughts below!
Im a huge BM fanboy btw, just thinking from a professionals pov if its a good value, ofc for a beginner its a no brainer amazing value.
