Need recommendations for a body under $2000

He then recorded the same clip internally to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K using Blackmagic raw. He couldn't find the 15 stops of dynamic range in ProRes raw, and liked the 6K better. The 6K had better color and highlight recovery and he disliked Apple's support of ProRes raw. At 8000 ISO and below, the BMPCC 6Ks low light samples look better than the Sony A7S IIIs, although you can go to a higher ISO with it.

Is there anything that's better for video than an iPhone but in similarly small size/form factor?

My choice for this is the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera original with a pancake lens at 16mm. It's color is perfect, but battery life sucks, has no ibis, shoots 1080p....yet....i always choose it because the image is another level

Best camera for shooting music videos for up to £2000

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K (BMPCC6K), much better than the 4K (battery life, quality, color depth, etc). That will end up near the $2,000 mark. Definitely go with Blackmagic, whether 4K or 6K, as the quality you get for your money exceeds any other cameras in its price range.

Stuck choosing between Lumix S5, Bmpcc 6k pro and Lumix Gh5.

I shot some docs with it a few years back and was not disappointed. Its 4K footage is beautiful, and it tracks faces/objects in 4K 60p with precision. Otherwise, I’d recommend a Blackmagic 6K - I never really enjoyed using the GH5 or GH4 personally.

BMPCC 4k, GH5 or other??

* [BMPCC 6K Footage - Alabama Wedding by Avery Grasse](https://player.vimeo.com/video/356262763) (4K). In my view, this is the best camera you can buy for videography and filmmaking below $3,000. Much better than buying another still camera. If you decide to go with the 6K, you might also want to subscribe over at r/bmpcc and r/blackmagicdesign.
