The BMCC looks great, but depending on what your doing, it may not be the camera for you. I make commercials and do photography. The BMCC will not really work for me unless I get a still camera as well. I'm looking at the 5D3 or 1DX. Nikon totally missed the boat- sure they have uncompressed HDMI, but who cares when the image has moire and aliasing. It's coming for the Canon line up in april anyway. About the BMCC and rigging- the BMCC is all about rigging. Doesn't seem to be the camera for you. If you're only doing video you might want to look at a dedicated video camera; just sayin. For event folks and wedding videographers you really need something that has a motorized zoom and XLR audio in. there are a billion of them out there, stick with sony. The BMCC is more like a go pro. you're paying for a chip in a box, no lens, no audio, no grips, etc. You will spend excess of 3k on BMCC to make it a viable option.
