If I'm not mistaken, BH is owned by a Orthodox Jewish group: The men all have long beards and dress in black. I applied for a job there about 20 years ago.

Scrupulously honest which is why I guess they've suceeded so well.

Can somone else comment on this?

Same here . The technologies took time to merge because ( imho ) still photographers could care less about motion picture capture and most DP's on a film set hire a still photographer to do their stills work . They are two separate skill sets , which for so long required two separate machines to achieve high image quality in each field . That era is over .

Don't do this.

Panasonic GH2 is the best bang for the buck. By far.
