Try to buy the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K Cinema Box camera. Is there any good Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals on it?
Tbh, finding a massive price cut on the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 6K Cinema Box Camera L-Mount is gonna be tough since it is still relatively new. Blackmagic usually keeps their MSRP steady until a hardware refresh. Try looking into Adorama or even smaller pro video houses like Focus Camera. They sometimes offer trade-in bonuses or accessory bundles that give you better value than a raw discount. From a technical standpoint, the reliability of the pyxis comes down to its thermal management and I/O. Unlike the pocket series, this box design is built for sustained 6K recording without thermal throttling. You are looking at a 6048 x 4032 sensor with 13 stops of dynamic range... its a beast for BRAW workflows. If you cant find a body deal, focus on the storage. The bitrate for 6K open gate is intense, so picking up an Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress B 1TB or a Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B Gold 512GB on sale is a smart move. Dedicated video retailers are usually a better bet because their support for cinema gear is way more reliable if you run into firmware issues. The pyxis is a solid choice for its 12G-SDI and dual native ISO, so even at full price, the performance-to-cost ratio is high. Just keep an eye out for a bundle that might include the Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor to save on the total rig cost...
Exactly what I was thinking
This is a new camera, no price drop right now. Just buy it now.
