Then a few days ago I received my BMPCC 4K and some Rokinon Cine DS lenses. The thing that I hated with the DSLR video/film cameras were the menus were a pain to work with and full manual control was still super difficult. TV shows for spots where they couldn't get a major rig into a confined space (Hawaii Five-0 for example shooting on the USS Missouri).

The Canon 5D MkIII and MkIV, it was the next big thing for indie filmmakers as well as. Then we hit the early 2000's and DSLR's became a thing after the Panasonic HVX revolution. Basically I grew up with full manual control over cameras. I've been in professional film & television production now for 30 years, I started in the days of film, went through lean times where the only gear I personally owned were video cameras (which killed me), and shot on broadcast Sony gear with Fujinon lenses.
