Hey guys. I am putting together a multi-cultural video series that shows the lives of people from around the world and events that happen around the globe. It will be a video series with actors that will go straight to YouTube, for numerous reasons.

What has been your experience with both these cameras. The Blackmagic 4K Cinema camera is $2300 for the body and the Canon c300 is $10,000 for the body alone. Can the price point really be an indication of true overall quality and getting that realy film/tv series look?
