    My very first cinema camera, and I love it. Log footage is really easy to color grade. The dual native ISO is a great feature. I love this camera, and love creating content with it.

    This has got to be about the best value video camera on the market. The form factor is excellent. Coming from a sony FX6/9 I love how similar the controls and exposure settings are with CINE EI.
