that's because it's a parfocal lens. with old cameras, you didn't have punch in focus. you zoomed with your lens, focus and the frame the shot.

prores was never that common on consumer cameras other than blackmagic. even on sony cameras, you have to pay for that option. it's an expensive codec because of apple. so i don't understand all of the sudden this requests for prores raw. it only works with final cut at the moment and if you don't have prores, most likely you're not going to get prores raw. that's why you see proprietary codecs, xavc, avc, canon xf avc, etc

To me, just getting more options beyond 1600 is a surprise for a blackmagic camera.
 
And a welcomed one.

Hell my Samsung Note 8 has a 1200 nit OLED display. Who the hell would buy a 300 nit one in this day and age? And pay 750 bucks for it on top of it?

Not necessarily it depends on the quality of the monitor and how well the calibration works. It could be still good enough for most things. The previous was just a guess.

Time of day will be your friend. Doesn't hurt to have big windows like the ones on the first video.
On your work, some shots you have very hot buildings outside but not enough light inside to compensate, so you have to compromise.
Choose the time of day wisely and it will be easier to balance inside and outside. Don't fight the sun, use it.
 
 

I have used the 502 and loved it. Great monitor, very clear image on the right conditions.
With strong sunlight, even with the hood, it's difficult to see. On those occasions, you can turn it into an EVF but I didn't like the loupe.
I'm curious to use the focus, but in general, i really like the 502 (same as 501 but with sdi).

Mostly handheld, without ibis. Lenses from 12mm to 35mm on the pocket camera.
 

While IBIS is great, I agree with Axel.
In my short video life, I always shot with cameras that didn't feature IBIS and that wasn't a problem.
Something like this http://cn.aputure.com/V-Rig-MR-V1 is cheap, light and practical to carry around.
If I am to do a shot with a long lens, I know I will need a tripod.
But to each his own. I just never was someone who filmed with just his hands, always got some kind of support to minimize extra shakiness.
