Superb camera, used it for some time. Buy one if you have real work.

Wasn't B&H advertising the JVC LS300 only last week for just a few hundred dollars more? I'd take with its 4K 60fps 422 over a C100

Since prices on the plain model have trended below 1000$ used, I'm really tempted to buy one of these. I don't know if I should pay more for the DPAF since I lack EF lenses. I don't want to buy more lenses either tbqh!
