If you buy a 100 dollar monitor you have officially fixed all the actual issues with this camera. Autofocus isn’t an issue because it’s a cinema camera not a video camera. RAW and Pro-Res are also not an issue because again it’s a cinema camera. Not knowing if it’s in focus because the screen is fixed is the only real issue it has other than needing a speed booster. Buy a speed booster and a 7 inch monitor and you are golden.

This was a great review. If you’re looking for a new camera, take a look at the Sony ZVI II. It’s a vlogger camera.

Dude I have to say that lens is one of the most amazing ones I've ever bought. The image quality at f4 is superb and on par with the sigma 18-35mm

I have that same setup and the viltrox speed booster with that lens causes vignette when in 4k DCI. Sometimes the controls for aperture would completely disappear, so I now just stick with manual lenses, and throw the sigma on my Ursa mini. With all that said still love the camera would be perfect with AF

I respect your opinion but disagree. It's better to have the options, such as a raw codec that includes an editor sweet, vs. being stuck in a cameras color science and inability to really push the footage. A simple LUT is a fix to that problem. Auto focus would be great but autofocus still isn't reliable or should I say a dependable option for film, which is what this camera is all about. This is an intro film camera, not a "hey, let's make a video" camera. Would love a different body, sensor size, mount and autofocus, but like the rest of us that bought into black magic, it's a great camera that makes you work and learn vs. a camera that is more of a scapegoat. Just my thoughts. Keep going and I wish you the best. Peace and blessings.
