If you buy a 100 dollar monitor you have officially fixed all the actual issues with this camera. Autofocus isn’t an issue because it’s a cinema camera not a video camera. RAW and Pro-Res are also not an issue because again it’s a cinema camera. Not knowing if it’s in focus because the screen is fixed is the only real issue it has other than needing a speed booster. Buy a speed booster and a 7 inch monitor and you are golden.
I have that same setup and the viltrox speed booster with that lens causes vignette when in 4k DCI. Sometimes the controls for aperture would completely disappear, so I now just stick with manual lenses, and throw the sigma on my Ursa mini. With all that said still love the camera would be perfect with AF
Congratulations on the video. I have a question... using the HFR button to record at 60fps do I need to change the speed to 120 or is it automatic, there is no need
Yeah, the sigma 17-50mm was the first lens I picked up. I was very impressed with the image quality. It's also more on the affordable side, now selling used for around $300.
Lol no worries at all. I initially picked up the Sony FX30 a couple months ago as a replacement. However, im currently checking out the Lumix S5iix as it looks like a better bang for the buck.
I respect your opinion but disagree. It's better to have the options, such as a raw codec that includes an editor sweet, vs. being stuck in a cameras color science and inability to really push the footage. A simple LUT is a fix to that problem. Auto focus would be great but autofocus still isn't reliable or should I say a dependable option for film, which is what this camera is all about. This is an intro film camera, not a "hey, let's make a video" camera. Would love a different body, sensor size, mount and autofocus, but like the rest of us that bought into black magic, it's a great camera that makes you work and learn vs. a camera that is more of a scapegoat. Just my thoughts. Keep going and I wish you the best. Peace and blessings.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I get where you're coming from, I personally realized I was trying to make the film cinema camera into something it wasn't designed to be (a digital video camera), but perhaps when external autofocus systems get a bit smaller than what DJI is currently offering I'll find myself back in the Black Magic echo system. Peace and blessings to to you aswell!
@@jongreenitwhat camera are u deciding to pick up? I’m thinking of selling my bmp4k for a fx30 even though the bmp4k have better images hence looks more organic. But I really don’t know I might just keep it and get an fx30 later. I already have a zve10 so I might just build my Sony lens collection first.

The day black magic releases a camera with continuous autofocus I'll be back 😎
This was a great review. If you’re looking for a new camera, take a look at the Sony ZVI II. It’s a vlogger camera.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I use the dji osmo pocket 3 for travel/vlog videos though, it's super portable.

Hi, there may be an automatic setting though I'm not sure I typically shoot using manual exposure
great review valid reasons thank you my man
My pleasure!
Dude I have to say that lens is one of the most amazing ones I've ever bought. The image quality at f4 is superb and on par with the sigma 18-35mm
which lens?
Yeah, the sigma 17-50mm was the first lens I picked up. I was very impressed with the image quality. It's also more on the affordable side, now selling used for around $300.
You selling it?
Yes sir, I currently have it listed on eBay along with a few accessories: www.ebay.com/itm/204926139362
let me hold that lawn then lmao. I switch with you for me Canon R8
Haha, I have my eyes set on a replacement already :)
@@jongreenit idk why it sounded like English wasn't my first language lmao. what you switching to?
Lol no worries at all. I initially picked up the Sony FX30 a couple months ago as a replacement. However, im currently checking out the Lumix S5iix as it looks like a better bang for the buck.
@@jongreenit ah yes, I have the s5ii. I sold the fx30 for it lol def better bang (rolling shutter is worse though) but everything else is better
Nice! luckily I won't typically be using the rolling shutter feature
