    Here for the camera experts who will tell me if this is/was worth it for the price.

      This is a pretty specialised video camera. If you aren't already looking for one it's not going to be suitable for you.

        Can I just say that your reasons to avoid Blackmagic cameras don’t make sense. Most of their cameras use lenses that aren’t M4/3, and you can edit in any program you like. Hell, if you’re not going to use Resolve you can sell the included licence and get an even better overall deal :p

      If you need to ask then this isn't for you.

      I’d say it’s just worth it for the price. It’s a little outdated now, and most likely you’ll need adapters to use any decent lenses. You could probably find the 6K for not much more which works with EF lenses (this is why I chose the 6K).

      Both options have fantastic colour science and are almost too easy to use, I love the interface of BM cameras.

      Still, they’ve both been superseded multiple times, so if I was shopping now I’d spend extra on the 6K Pro, Full Frame, or Pyxis, but not because the 4K and 6K are bad in any way, just a bit on the older side.

        This is the best summary of these cameras.

    I paid close to this when it first came out. Was a great camera five years ago; b-roll cam at best these days.

    Okay colour, but it has a noticeable “video” motion about it compared to better cameras.

    Really more if you have a particular M4/3 Lens preference or availability - or if you’re shooting factual / documentary and want to have a small, DSLR camera profile.

    • freefall101 on 11/01/2025 - 19:04

      Even with a preference for M4/3 I'd probably go with the GH5 mk2, might not be up there with colour but it's better in pretty much every other way.

      What do you mean video motion?

      • cerealJay on 11/01/2025 - 20:43

        Agreed the "video motion" comment deserves explanation.

        Here's footage shot with this camera, it does not look like "video motion". It's all about colour grading, lens choice, and… how much fake film grain you apply ;-)

          Yeah I was wondering if he meant that overly “digital” look

    "Comes with the full version of DaVinci Resolve Studio" - does that equate to a "saving" of approx. $363?I have no idea, so flame away…

      Yes, and you can sell the licence they include if you already have it. I did, so takes some off the price that way too.
