Being both a producer and editor i know the importance of getting the equipment and transferring files right from the start rather than saying well just fix it in post.
One of the things i learnt is that you can program the cameras to use, LUTS (look up table ) which is great for colour correcting as it retains more information in the shaddows and highlights.
all of the cameras we were thinking of using have samuri blades with them witch also gets us an 10 bit range rather than 8, one of the things we learnt was to make sure to use a short sdi cable to connet it as this transferes the data better. When we filmed our dance video last year we used another cable and it lost of data, leaving glitches in the footage.
The main thing about picking a camera is choosing what is right for the project, its no use film 4k on a fancy camera that takes up lots of storage and transfer time if it isnt needed.
We decided for out main project we are going to use the ursua as it works better in the lighting conditions. For the dance project as we need to use the glide cam we will use the c300 or the ex3 as we used that last year and didnt have a problem with it as we only plan to screen the film in 1080
