>>4015946>a few hundred buckslmao. just the audio shit you need alone to make it usable for what most people are going to be doing with a cinematic camera easily drives up the price by, oh i dunno, $1000 minimum. the built in microphones in these cameras are only appropriate for reference purposes, like if you're recording something and the audio will be disregarded, you can say anything that will be important for later like editing because the audio won't be used in the final cut, or if you record audio on a separate recorder you can use the camera audio as a reference for syncing the separate audio recorded on something like a zoom H5.
unless all you're shooting is something that will have separate detached audio dubbed over it like stock footage youtubers will buy and narrate over, or something where all of the audio is foley like most nature footage. i've seen way too many still photography only people forget to consider how important audio capture is and how expensive that shit is. imagine having to buy a whole second camera setup.
