odie Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 which one to choose?? best bang for the buck??? (will need soon for commercial with small crew) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablogrollan Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Kind of a personal question, but if it were me, in a commercial with a small crew I'd avoid risks. Is it for broadcast or for web delivery? BM4K sure will be a nice camera for an affordable price and is due sometime in the near future but... when? Will enough SSDs have been tested to be sure you're not going to run into unexpected behaviors? Same could be said about 5D Mark III RAW. Much as I love what ML is doing, it is still alpha or beta stage... not reliable enough for paid work IMHO. Red One MX, despite it's disadvantages, has been around for a while and a good DP will make the most out of it. Same with Scarlett though I've heard of some people having trouble with it (reliability). Is RAW that big a deal? If not, there are other options. Sony F55 is around the price of the MX, C500 (or C300 for quite a lot less). Definitely BMC4K is expected to be the best bang for the buck... when it's released... and tested.
