Thank you for the replies. First of all, I have set up and operated the BMCC before, but I haven't edited any of it's footage, so my knowledge there is gathered from others end results. The NX1 does have room to grow technically with a higher res picture, but appears to require more horsepower and process steps to work with editorially. On the other hand, the base of BMCC users is larger and the editing work-arounds are well known, so there is a slight advantage there. Overall, it's a trade off with positives and negatives on both sides. Thank you fuzzynormal and Geoff CB for your thoughtful replies, I will gather a bit more user information before I make a decision.

Greetings, My first post on EOSHD, and I am trying to decide which camera-edit combination will give the best results for image quality and post production. I will be shooting documentaries as well as narrative films, and I have a fairly robust HP PC which I was thinking would be good for PPro. I know the NX-1 has been discontinued, but the images it has produced in the few short films posted online have looked amazing, with their high dynamic range, resolution and color fidelity. The GH4 has also produced some drop-dead gorgeous images as well, and the Micro Four Thirds format has it's own strengths/weaknesses during acquisition and editing. The old standard, 5D Mk.II, is being mentioned because it probably has the greatest number of workable shooting/editing solutions, and now with the use of MLRaw files, it can produce some notable footage, also. I should also throw the BMCC 2.5K format into the ring, as it has also produced some excellent images and is a known quantity for acquisition, as well as as editing. My experience with these systems so far has consisted of working on a short film with a pair of BMCC's, with the others being unknowns, including the editing portion. The bottom line in all of this, I think, is: all in and done, which camera format and edit solution produces the image which stands up best to post production/grading, and on to the final digital display product at the best price point? Keep in mind I have only one Canon FD mount 50mm lens, so another lens or two would be needed in any case. Thank you for allowing me to post my question to all of you. pix4work
