Not sure if that counts as a "radical" price cut? Even Canon has done that :-P 52 minutes ago, Emanuel said: 50% off for 1x Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6K PL mount + 2x 4K video assist... last Black Friday That was only in the UK however, so I wasn't really counting that, but it does give you hope there could be 50% off sale for the EF version and more worldwide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 11, 2018 Author Super Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 Imo a third of the price on brand new product is quite substantial. But maybe that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my point is they kinda feel like a "natural price reduction", products often get cheaper over their life cycle. (some have even more radical price drops! For instance the F3 was around $30K originally?! When I purchased mine secondhand I remember new prices had fallen to around US$6K) But the 1/2 price BMPCC sale was out of left field and was kinda an "unnatural" drop.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 11, 2018 Author Super Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 I still don't think a third of the price within the first few days of a cameras life cycle is a "natural price reduction" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Well the C300mk2 dropped from $16K to 10K in a relatively short span, that is over a third. That is "natural price reduction"? Fast than normal? Yes! But still within the realms of "natural". Anyway.... it is pretty subjective here, just a personal matter of perspective. (wellll.... unless someone wishes to plot data from all camera prices to see if the BMPCC is over 3 standard deviations away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 11, 2018 Author Super Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 But was it within a few days from release? The bmpcc was months or even a year after. So relatively that's the natural one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSilverTogliatti Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hi! What do you think is the best for the price of 2500$, red one mx with accessories or sigma fp/ used panasonic s1 with atomos? Is there any other cameras with raw recording? Thanks!

IronFilm Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Out of what you mentioned, it is an easy pick for the Panasonic S1! (take a look at the S5 too) The Sigma FP isn't as polished / all round camera, the RED ONE MX is an ancient old heavy beast of a camera. Think very very carefully before buying, isn't suitable for 97% of people. There is also the Nikon Z6 with an Atomos Ninja V, for 4K raw. At the US$2.5K ish price point for a 4K camera, you could also consider: Sony FS7 secondhand, BMD Pocket 6K Pro, Z Cam E2-M4 / E2-S6, Panasonic GH5mk2 (heck, the GH5 is waaay under budget, wait for the Panasonic GH6?), and lots more.

QuickHitRecord Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I have a Red One MX and it produces a beautiful image, perhaps my favorite image from any digital sensor. But it's size, weight, and power consumption have relegated it to my camera cabinet for anything but narrative work. kye and IronFilm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
