I always ETTR on the BMCC/BMPCC but not on the new BMPCC4K. I used the native ISOs and tried to get as close to the final exposure as I could in camera. With the new color science it's been a winning concept for me.
I still have never been able to create any type of "blue sky macro blocking", and I've owned two separate units.

Pentax have more options, more function and more buttons, but their menus is way more intuitive.
My smartphone has way more options, +100,000 apps and accesses millions of web pages. None of them are that unintuitive.
I have no problem using the Sony menus, I of course know them after years of use. But the original design, from an objective perspective, compared to other cameras and devices, is absolutely awful.
In a world where UI and user experience is a key element when designing products the Sony menu is a joke.
@Robert Collins makes a good point about how reviewers is a good measure of how bad the menus are. If people that try out all kinds of different cameras with no issues and ease, still have to point out Sony as a weird example.. then it probably is.
Sony makes lovely cameras. But like all brands there are some downsides as well.

Don't flush money down the toilet because of a couple of turds. Always buy used. 
Used A7 in store with six months warranty surfaces for sub $300 here at least once a month.

Might depend on the size of battery?
This I don't want to have to do to be honest. I could probably live with it. But the point for the C-fast over the ssd for me is easy access and quick turn around.
This is very good to know. First straight answer Ive gotten and I have asked a lot of reviewers. Thanks
I know. But it so far doesn't have it in all frame rates, which are the main attraction over the BMPCC4K for my usage.
But since I recently sold my second BMPCC4K last week its main competition is now a Fuji for 120p. And then it might win

Its interesting to me that when the Youtube hype train was in full motion for the A7iii and GH5 everybody was on board, but not this time. My only guess its because this camera is not meant for the audience of this forum. 
And I seem to recall about 10,001 posts on this forum screaming for a mic jack in these types of cameras.
But jut like always, when we get it we immediately move the goal post.
Ive started shooting Polaroid again. Its liberating

@Geoff_L totally get it, I to see the glass as half full
Would you mind clarifying how the slowmotion works? Google only serves me people who guess or start their sentence with "to my understanding"..
What is the highest frame rate in HD, without crop, where you can still manually expose your image?
This is something that actually could tip the scale for me.

So you don't understand how DR is measured but came onto a thread about using manual focus to tell us all that Panasonic is deceiving us.
OK, as you were....

IMO, It's not as accurate as MF, doesn't understand when you want to track something else, can't change speed without digging into the menu, doesn't work on manual lenses, messes up your grip, the list goes on.
Again, no excuses, just don't care about it working or not. My workhorse is equiped with the best video AF there is. Never use it.
I haven't seen anybody make such excuses.
I know perfectly well how it works thank you. Btw, you don't get to dictate why others reason the way they do. No one said you weren't allowed to wish for good AF in the Panasonic. You can wish it to give you a golden shower for all I care. We just have our opinion on it.

Don't see it.
Sounds like you aren't watching in full screen, that sometimes introduces false moire.

Many of us never use AF in video. So it's not "excuses". More like "not caring".

I remember James Miller making a tutorial about that but now I couldn't find it.
Sometimes I actually miss grading Raw video using After Effects just for the controls of Adobe Camera Raw. But I can't say the same about the time it usually took to export.

Personally, the A7riv is the first interesting model since the original A7. So I'm not hating on it. I actually wish I could justify the cost..
..But...
Hilarious irony for someone who has been told a million times that I'm an idiot for shooting a camera with 2016 video specs.. only to see Philip Bloom of all people point out that the Sony flagship is using 2015 video specs.. I spilled my coffee laughing.
(And to be fare to Canon, it at least has 400mbit and 10-bit out with it's 2016 specs.)

It probably will. Because it is easy on all Sony's imo. Just time consuming like you describe (minor desaturation of colors × 1000 images per day = gray hair).

I only ever use AF for macro. If I was interested in a camera that turned out to be MF only in video I wouldn't care even a little.
In my mind, "automatic focus" is still no yet invented.

No they don't compare. They are way more suitable for 97% of the situations that the average pro photographer encounters.
