I will be buying a camera this summer.
I was hoping for something more substantial from nab, like a firmware update to convince me of the cinema camera. BUT ALAS!
Anyway,
I am still "getting in" to this, to the degree which I don't have big corporate jobs where I am picky about what I need. Nor do I have money for something even entry-mid range.
But I'm far enough in that I want a good image for my own short films, and am willing to work around the "problems".
Here's where I'm at. If I do audio, It will be externally anyway. The low light is a little bummer, the black sun is eh... in camera formatting doesnt matter, battery life doesnt matter etc.
Here's the deal. As far as I can tell, at a used price cinema camera has some pretty wicked specs for a pretty low price.
Also, the ef mount is important to me. I have ef lenses, and almost everyone I know around me does as well.
Raw and film log are important to me as well.
There weren't any super low priced cinema cameras that shoot raw announced as far as I know?
And there aren't many others on the market?
I know theres a couple, but in terms of image for price, is the cinema camera still leading the way problems aside? What else is competing in terms of price/raw/film log/bit depth/ DR?
School me. What would you do?
What would you guys recommend for someone who can't really spend over 3k total right now, but needs a cam in the next couple months.
