So i got the Sony HXR-NX3 NXCAM. I do use the Canon for studio stuff.

Nice.  What's that go for?

i paid $3100 about a year ago at BH -- looks like a newer model out now

That is a sweet Sony! I find the 4/3 is the sweet spot for me in video, I shot for several years on a 5d Mark II but never loved shooting with it. I ignore a lot of specs and shoot with what I like. 98% of all those clips are with the Olympus EM1 and all hand held. I find I love the Oly colors right out of the camera and the 5 axis is a dream to shoot with on the fly. I always use the tripod or mono pod with the BMPCC. I use a HMC150 for a lot of commercial work and am looking to upgrade that camera soon. I don't know if I will get something like that Sony (how do you like it) or go with something like the new Canon XC10.

I really like the Sony a lot. I keep it on AUTO and it does the dirty work and I fire away. With three sensors it handles low light well. And has built in ND filters. the footage is kinda flat out of the box but responds well to post grading in FCP. I think they planned it that way. Not as "buttery" as my Canon 5dm2 but everything is in focus and exposure is perfect on the fly. Nice stabilization too. i have used it on manual with fluid head manfrotto and it is a dream what you can do. lightweight and perfect run-and-gun for me.

just can't see the LCD well enough with my old eyes in daylight glare to keep stuff in focus.


A $12 LCD viewfinder is a great way to get around that:
