Ive worked with my Canon 60d and 5dM2 for projects and its paid well over for itself along time ago. I have a few L lenses, and my Pentax Takumar lenses and an anamorphic. I've been waiting patiently for my EF mount BMC on order. Why? Well, cause i can shoot ProRes and 2.5K RAW files for 3k. Good price, i can still use my EF lenses and crop factor isn't a big deal ......for now. I understand the wait, and i understand just like i needed batteries and memory for my Canon's , i will have to do the same for BMC and it will be more expensive then my CanonDslr's. No problem. Now, i see the REDONE for 4k, with a 4.5k sensor at 120fps, PL mount , s35 sensor at 4k, HDMI out and other stuff. Someone said on this forum that if you purchase just the REDONE by itself, its useless.
Is this true as much as the BMD? Can we shoot right out of the box with BMC? Is the REDONE that much of a proprietary product to use?
Wouldn't BMD next step to have a bigger sensor at 4k ? Wont you need a plethora of accessories also, cause that sensor will need a fan of some sort, bigger SSD, Batteries, ect. From what i hear Sony producing a few cameras at 4k , 8k but not at the price we are striving for with the BMC, camera. Would you guys buy a BMD camera at 4k with a s35 sensor and 120fps just because its a BMD? Why not the RED ONE mx now, when its available and its proven. These are just questions I'm asking as a consumer, I'm not looking to argue with anyone about which is better, but I'm looking for the obvious as a consumer and a videographer. I will want to upgrade to 4k one day, why not do it now for under 5k at 4.5k with the REDONE? Im still purchasing my BMC but if they come out with a 4.4k next year for 4k$ with a bigger sensor, it'll all start over again.

For 4k USD all you get is a piece of heavy metal that will just sit there and do.. well.. nothing
