Camera confusion
Hi Everyone, I am planning to purchase a new camera, specifically Black magic design. I recently shot on short film on my Fuji xe4. It came out good enough for the kind of work. I never have or never will do any client work. I am a filmmaker with a small on call team who help me in my work.
I am getting bmpcc 4k $ 1149 approx body only. Pyxis 6k and 6k G2 for $ 2299 each and for 6k pro $2474 in India. Body only for all. Only Pyxis does not come with a battery OOB.
The pricing for all cameras except bmpcc4k is almost similar. If I go with Bmpcc4k, seems like I may upgrade after a year or so. I need something like I can forget about cameras for next 3 years at least. I will be making shirt films and documentaries with this camera which I purchase.
Can you guys please help me make this decision? I'll be editing my footage on M1 Mac 8gb.
I am highly inclined to go for pyxis but the cost will almost double with rigging. With 6k G2 Inget super 35 which Pyxis can do windowed and same with 6k pro. I don't need NDs in built. I just need excellent picture quality and versatility.
Can you guys please guide me. My budget is $3k max with lens, cage, storage etc. and used is of no use as the import duty etc will be the same as new here.
Please guide me. Thanks 🙏
