I have the mark 3 and and it will never take images as sharp as my X5. Matter of fact, after using the X5 I am wanting to go for another camera for my main filming. I like the 4k. I think Ill go for the BM Ursa. The only thing that bothers me is it is not full frame.

i was seriously considering the ursa, until the reviews came out...
I'll be sticking with our C100 and BM video assist until there is a compelling 4K option that is affordable. The FS7 is close but I hate the ergonomics. Would love a C300 mk2 but at 15k... No thanks

I haven't seen any bad reviews on the Ursa. What seems to be the problem?

I'm referring to the ursa mini, my apologies if you were speaking of the full size ursa.

Read the reviews on B&H, almost universally scathing... Average 2 stars out of 5 on 25 reviews

Maybe the 4.6k sensor version will solve all the problems, somehow I doubt it but it is a possibility.

If you are familiar with Premier Pro I put it to +10 so hardly any.

i'm a photographer and filmmaker so i would like a solid feedback about the best primes! Not looking into a zoom the quality of an olympus zoom lens is not in my standards. My main zoom lens is 70-200 f2.8 is ii.So the day Olympus will put out a zoom lens that sharp i will be happy but it will never fit on the inspire or Matrice lol

Ps already purchased the Olympus 45mm 1.8 i am looking at the Olympus 25mm. any other lens worth having i dont know?

The Olympus 12 mm is the sharpest wide angle lens out there at this point for the DJI X5. The DJI is no slouch either, but if I had to choose the Olympus lens wins. The Olympus 45 is a fav of mine as well, I too am looking at the 25 mm

humm when i shoot with my 5dmk3 its full frame why would the flagship be 1.3 crop? And it shoots 120fps full HD as well i dont see anything about shooting in crop mode.

Ahhh yeah i was aware of the slomo they have to crop but full 4k ****... Might as well get the A7s mkii for 1/2 the price.

Actually, I'd have loved if the new 1DX was a 'proper' 1.3 crop, being mainly a sport and wildlife photographer. Still use a 1D Mk4 with a 600 lens occasionally just to get that little extra reach.

But disappointed on the video crop... that would have been the icing on the cake.

Thanks for pointing this out, I was unaware.
