Few things I forgot to throw in. The Sony's IBIS is definitely a plus though its not as stable as Panasonics. Better than none at all which is what you have with the C70. The C70 also has of course the 10 stop internal ND's which are a treat. I'd probably go with the C70 as I like the more natural non processed image(I am really picky about that kinda thing most won't even notice). If the FX3 had the option to dial off NR and sharpening completely I'd probably go for it. I prefer Sony's AF and full frame. However the 10 stop ND's on the Canon are really tempting and you could get the full frame look with a speed booster, though its another $500. If you don't need auto focus the Panasonic S1/S5 is a great option. Great low light dual ISO, 4k 10 bit, XLR module, amazing IBIS, amazing dynamic range. No ND's or good AF though but you'd save quite a bit of $$$$

I'd definitely consider used. You can get the MK2 for $2000 depending on where you live. I don't think you'll miss 4k much, but higher bitrate 10 bit codecs are definitely an advantage over the 50mbps codec on the C100 mk2. In terms of C70 vs A7s3/FX3 The A7s3 is going to do much better at high ISO's. You are talking usable 16,000 iso where as the C70 is going to start to show noise at 3200 iso with a max of 6400 iso for a normal amount of noise.. The Sony auto focus is more responsive than the C70's. You can do RAW with an external recorder on the Sony. Its Full frame if you like that look. Its a smaller package overall if you are a fan of the DSLR form factor. The Canon image is better, you can completely dial off noise reduction and sharpening giving you a very organic image. The dynamic range is better though the Sony isn't bad at all. If you shoot stills the A7S3/fX3 is obviously a better choice. I wouldn't say either is necessarily better in general though. Different cameras. An FX3(comes with top handle and XLR module) is $3900, variable ND $100, EF adapter $100 $4100 C70 new is $5500 plus the EF adapter $100 $5600

Everyone is spoiled these days. Magic lantern did do compressed RAW which was a little easier on the hard drives tho.

The C70 is above your price range but its definitely a great option. Depends what you want to spend. I don't love Panasonic color but after using Emotive colors luts its a game changer for me. If you really love Canon though it makes sense to go with Canon.

Was considering getting an EVA1 to compliment my S1 but I am kinda waiting on Panasonic to make its next move before I do.

The variable ND E to EF adapter does not support continuous auto focus in video. There is no camera that has built in ND's and IBIS. The A7S3 comes closest to checking all your boxes. The only thing it lacks is ND's. with an MC-11 adapter you can use your EF lenses with good AF performance though not as good as if you were to use Sony lenses. I am not big on Sony color but slap on Emotive color's Alexa conversions and you'll be good. The Pocket 6k pro is a good option if you can go without AF. OIS is a good replacement for IBIS honestly.

Yeah close but no cigar

C100 mk2 is a great camera. Really good high ISO performance, nice downsampled HD, and very nice Canon color. Plus you get internal ND's and XLR inputs which are quite amazing to have. Also it has great battery life. It makes sense as you won't be able to utilize Sony's amazing auto focus as well using EF lenses. Honestly for me the two most important features on a camera are lowlight performance and color science and XLR inputs. I think you'll be making a great choice.

I am convinced only Canon and Sony are able to have good auto focus systems lol. Could be an interesting camera though.

Yeah and 6k 24p H265 is probably a different beast than 4k 60p

From reviews I've seen the Viltrox lenses actually focus better than Fuji's native ones, though if you are doing a dramatic focus change they are jumpy. I got the Fuji F2 primes for AF but found they just didn't work that well. They'd completely lose focus for no reason. The 18-55 is amazing though great lens. Almost didn't miss IBIS when I had it.

Thats pretty much your option in that price range with the features you want. The image is a far cry from the BMPCC but IBIS, auto focus, better battery life and a smaller crop factor are all nice for practical shooting. The GH5 or G9 will be a closer match IQ wise but you won't get Olympus AF A more off the wall option would be a Canon camera with Magic lantern. You'd get 12 or 14 bit RAW and possibly auto focus and better battery life depending on the model you get.

First one had a dent so he returned it. Second two wouldn't power on. Also poor costumer service. Pretty disappointing. That said I've never heard of a working unit failing in the field which is where it counts.

Could be for sure. At least it has unlimited 4k which most cameras do not.

Everyone I know uses the Samsung T5s

I’ve never heard of an issue with file corruption on the P6k. I know a lot of people who use them. The only camera I’ve ever had that issue on was my Panasonic S1 and I’m pretty sure it was due to a bad card.

I am interested in the S1H due to BRAW, they aren't that expensive used. The S1R is also very interesting, it can do 4k 60p with no crop. That said the video is pixel binned. I am sure the stills are absolutely amazing. I have to say 24mp on the S1 is more than I could ever need. I've punched in from a portrait shot to having just the eye in frame and it was still damn detailed. The only limitation I've had was shooting with a lens that couldn't render the resolution the sensor is capable of.

Interesting, weird how some cameras dont seem to have the issue. Very problematic though.

The Nicest 709 lut seems pretty accurate in most cases, though I prefer the GHAlex luts.

I've always thought of clinical as not having imperfections and being neatural which makes it boring.

I am not even mad about the crop its just that the 120p 1080 is pretty poor quality. Would like to see a nice 2.5k 120p that is fairly comparable to 24p in quality. APSC crop is fine for me. What type of cards do you use? I've never had an issue with my sand disk extreme pros.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with a Ronin or Zhiyun product.

The lapse of a log profile is pretty bizarre. Even 10 bit is bizarre as the other big three all have it now. I mean Canon and Sony had the clout to hold out on 10 bit when Panasonic was offering it but it doesn't make sense for Nikon to do that. Especially at this point in time. Why go out of the way pushing the prores RAW thing, but leave out any good internal codec or color profile? I guess they are just hoping to retain some of the photography market that has used Nikon for the past two decades.

The S1H is quite fantastic. The only need it doesn't fill for me is VFR. Once Panasonic puts something out with a good 120p I'll be set.
