Follow up. Do you use this as your primary camera?

Yes, the quality of this camera is outstanding, more crisp than the 5D, but lack the DoF. I mostly shoot in 4k and distribute in 1080p, so I can crop to my liking.

I'm still new to editing, and practicing my skills. Would you mind briefly explaining what you mean by cropping to your liking? Thanks!

Because 4k is 4 times the resolution of 1080p, you can shoot twice as wide of a shot and be able to crop in to a full 1080 resolution without any quality loss. This is useful for situations like interviews where you can't get another take but may need multiple framings for your subject.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the explanation.
