    It was a huge upgrade from the old canon I had. Both video and audio quality are impecable I can’t get enough of her. I’ve already used it to film and take pictures and every single take is high definition and good quality.

    I use this camera on film sets. It’s so good, friends in the industry ask to borrow it for their indie films. It’s great for video and stills. And, the learning curve is manageable. I am really glad I own this one. My only upgrade at this point, would be a Red.

    Looked. Researched. Looked. Researched… came to the conclusion this camera was worth a shot. Worked with various Sony Alpha series cameras so the workflow was minimal learning curve. I’ve worked in video production for over a decade, but wanted something for freelance production and this was the way to go to get started. Happy as I can be with the image quality.
