If you are serious about about this is a good starter.
Great form factor. But out of the box settings result in a background grain in less than ideal light. Switching to manual and turning down the iris to about 20db fixes the problem. A bit disappointing.

I'm back doing what I did fifty years ago with a pro film camera - a TV travel series of Michigan's upper Peninsula, Will be taking old footage on film, converting them to HD digital and morphing it with current recordings of the same locations to the...
