Boards Comment – Camera and lights, 7-12k budget

Canon C100 - yes. Especially with the upgraded focus and the possibility of recording 4:2:2 directly off the sensors thru the HDMI port.
Add Alzo light kit - as good as Kino-Flos and much less expensive and you are up and running.

Boards Comment – Owning Your Own Equipment Vs Renting

I used to own by own camera - back when Betacam was the only game in town. It made sense and allowed a higher profit margin on your day rate. Now? I don't and never will own a camera again. The cameras are evolving so rapidly, and there are so many options out there that the chances of owning a camera that a client needs for that particular shoot are low. I have a good friend that runs a rental company - on average he turns cameras over every 9 months! I own lights and grip equipment. I own audio gear and I own other grip equipment - how often do you get a new and revised C-stand?
Cameras? Never again.
