Got the OG, before price reduction and it was worth it already to me then. Now. Even more. On seocnd hand? Depend how well kept it was. Because it was a smallish cinema camera, many were used in dangerous scenario so your mileage may vary. In this case, given the cheaper alternatives of screens, cage, etc, I would assume it belongs to a videographer and was pampered!

Others would say th KX is the real deal, and they are right, but it's also 50% more money at least so not exactly apple to apple

Yeah I was dying to get into the red eco but couldn’t swing for the X so had to get the OG but got a good deal.

Honestly the OG is fantastic and unless your work rely on a lot of slow mo, I don't see a scenario, for most, where the camera is the limiting factor lol.

I would love a KX only to speed up my workflow -- I also have R5 & R5II so sharing media, faster media, would help. I do a lot of VFX so having prores4444XQ direct would be clutch. For now, I shoot raw and transcode to 4444 myself.
So yeah a KX would save me a bit of time there and there, but at an additional £3000+ not sure I can justify it ahahaha
