BMCC MFT vs. BMPC 4K (thoughts and suggestions)
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 10:40 pm
Hello,
I, like many of you, am still waiting for my V1 BMCC MFT and was very upset upon finding out about the BMPC 4K. I too felt the camera I had yet to receive had all of a sudden become obsolete. This made me very upset. What am I going to do with all these lenses and gear I bought in preparation for the MFT? Am I going to lose money trying to sell it all back? But then I thought about it more and more and kept thinking about the word production vs. cinema. I've looked at the spec sheets over and over and find myself taken over by words like "4K", "global shutter" and "6G." But are these things really that important to an indie filmmaker/cinematographer like me? I still haven't made up my mind but the more I think about it the more I think I should just purchase the MFT BMCC. I wonder if there are other people with this dilemma and I wonder what you think. While these cameras are a lot cheaper than cameras made by other brands I want to make sure that if I'm spending $3-$4,000, it's for the purchase of the best possible camera.
Thank you,
Javier
