I've made only one film, in 2009, nothing since except a few shorts. I have no connection in the industry and of course no deal for any kind of distribution for the new project I'm working on. I thought I'd be filming my project on a GH4 but I'm becoming more and more seduced by the image I see out of the black magic family, particularly the Black Magic Pocket Cinema and the BMCC 2.5K mft. Considering the above, should I really worry about trying to film in 4 K with my GH4? What advantages would that give me? I have the feeling that what I would gain in resolution is lost in image quality, compared to what the BM family can give me. Do you agree with this? I can pick up a BMPCC for less than 700 bucks now, and a BMCC mft for less than $1000, I already have the speedbooster and the lenses from my GH4. Should I just do that or stick to my Panny? In other words, since i already have a GH4, should I even worry about these Black Magic cams? Thanks for your input!
