The results are in. Some are a little funny, others kinda expected but still interesting.
When I counted the first time a few days ago the funny part was that J wasn't to far behind I. But I didn't expect this.
(BTW, this morning J was still in the lead between the two.)

Counted all the votes so far. The results are interesting and partly funny

Amen, hopefully the $200 challenge will prove that even further.

Wonderful!
That's why we should run more of tests like this.
 
Screw the specifiations rat race and just appreciate the the final image.

The votes have started to slow down now so if I find time to edit tomorrow. Otherwise it might have to wait until the weekend.

This is a blind test comparing videos from a couple of different cameras, lenses and filters.
I have not tried to match the images since that would take away the point of the test. Im looking at quick turnaround, color science as well as the effect different types of lenses and filters have on the final image.
As you can see the light changed quite a bit between shots but it doesn't matter.

I was most partial to E and C. 

B, E, and J.

I enjoyed C the most. Good detail, nice colors.

I like C, D, and F

I didn't realize you were the dude that runs that channel. You got a killer voice my man

I don't, but it's not because I forget. The reason you don't get sdof is because it's a 6mm lens. You get the exact same dof you would on a medium format with a 6mm from the same distance.
Aperture is set for the exposure, so applying crop factor to it is simply weird imo.

I think the camera should remain secret until after the vote. When doing camera side by sides we all know people vote for the one that should be best if presented with their identities. 
If there was a max budget for camera+lens+mic+what have you, then speed boosters should be fine.

Yeah, both things are fine by me.
Afterwards, where you explain what you bought, for what price, and so on... It'll be up to the people on the forum and me as a judge, to check whether it is within the spirit of the competition not just the rules. For example, if you find a total bargain but it costs £1000, and you sell the lens for £800, ending up with a fancy camera for £200... I'll score that very highly in the Treasure Hunt category, but maybe there will be a balancing category where people who only spent £100 on a camera body and used a £20 Russian lens but made it look amazing, out numbers your score in the Treasure Hunt. So key is to do well in all categories and be within the spirit of the cheap camera competition, not just to find the best bargain. Also, unless the lens is actually sold, until that happens you'd be outside the rules, always a temptation to hang onto the lens isn't there!!
Yeah, the deadly possibility of being morally obliged by all EOSHD forum users to post your camera to the winner is there to stop people getting too spendy!!

I would think that peoples skill and creativity will be way more of a deciding factor that the negligible "improvement" 4K gives in a sub $200 camera.
Post something online and it will.
Same as everything else. Use what ever you like but it might be taken into consideration by people.
If it feels ok, it probably is.
Anyone ridiculing another persons work in a learning exercise is either jealous, an idiot or a bot.
You only need to ever care about constructive criticism and there is never any ridiculing in that.

Yeah I need to not cheap out and buy that one.
Minimum focus distance on the 28mm with the one I've got is about 2 nautical miles.

I could test it on both as soon as I find the adapter. I have used it on Fuji and yesterday I was shooting some street with it on the EOS-R. It's a cool lens. Like always with 7artisans it's not clinically sharp, but I know you care as little as I do about that.
