c500ii vs pyxis 12K LF

Hi,

I really like the pyxis 12K LF. But... now with the price drop on the C500II they are almost in the same ballpark pricewise. 
And I am not sure why I would pick the pyxis over the c5OOii. 

C500II: Ibis, monitor, AF(allthough blackmagic is catching up), internal ND's.
pyxis 12K lf. It's newer. Might be easier to mount on a gimbal.  Have not seen any image comparisons. I love the IQ from both camera's, but have not seen any side by side by these 2 camera's.  

Any other input? 

 

Thanks!

In the same boat. Lens Rentals has C500mk2s for sale around $4700. Love its image, I think the pyxis 12K LF has it slightly beat in dynamic range and detail…but I can’t help thinking the C500 is better value.  I’m invested in canon with 2 R5Cs that I love so I’ll probably go the C500 route to not be limited by just braw.

Will you be OK with only using lenses that mount to EF or PL mount?

And would an integrated flip-out screen be a selling point?

EF, yes. Loads of EF options.

The pyxis needs an extra monitor the c500ii does not. 

The limitation of only braw is also a dealbreaker. I hope they will include a different codec soon. As lots of clients dont accept braw.

What's wrong with braw?! : ) 'cause your fav NLE doesn't support it yet? Otherwise, it's beyond me, like to say I need two domestic partners because to stay with just one of them is to end too limited... LOL :- )

Apples to oranges to my view IMHO.

Maybe he can give the clients your phone number and you can explain it to them?  😉

Well... oh clients, other professionals in the same business/craft? ; )

@CaptainHook (https://www.eoshd.com/comments/profile/34137-captainhook/) is not here anymore, maybe this helps without such need for a call ;- )

Anyway TBH, hard to tell how anyone can be indifferent to Resolve nowadays...
