Review: Great camera overall, but lacks shallow depth of field. Should be $4K - Good image quality, but a little disappointed in optics. With a larger sensor, I was hoping for a shallower depth of field and some cinematic bokeh. But the aperture is variable; 2.8 when fully wide and stops down as you zoom in. The only way to get a decently blurry background is if the camera is positioned within 15 feet or so of the subject... something we couldn't do on a 50-foot stage. This is not an inexpensive camera, so I expected a bit more from the lens. Also, the built-in ND filters seems like a wrong fit for this primarily-indoors camera, so that's wasted money. Don't get me wrong, the camera is still a nice camera. If it were $4,000, I'd give it 5-stars, but at its current price it just doesn't measure up.
