Be sure to get a Nikon mount.

The footage of the camera is shot with a BMCC.

This camera has dropped roughly $25 000 dollars since its release. At $2-3000 its a true option for the enthusiast.

Some might feel a bit intimidated by cameras like these. But don’t worry, IMO, if you can use a 5D, you can shoot with this.

Looks complicated, but its not.

In short all you need is a lens, a CF-Card, a monitor and a battery. All which are most often included when you buy one used.

If you take the plunge the one of the absolutely nicest things about it is the codec. It is just so easy and fun to work with.
