I am ready to buy one of these cameras, but I can't decide which one.
The IV is newer has slightly better sensor..better viewfinder and 4K video and super slow mo..but requires a rather pricey memory card which adds more to the cost and a second battery. I can get the camera used on ebay right now for $775 in like new condition. But has best offer available..might be able to get it down to $750. Just comes with cables, battery and wrist strap. No box or any documentation.
I could just get the Mark 3 for around $650 and save myself a little bit of money for spare battery..grip and what not. I already have a fast enough memory card for it. Yes, it has older sensor but still very good..and not as high res viewfinder. No 4K..but still superb 1080p with image stabilization.
The one I'm looking at on eBay is $699, but I'm asked if he'd accept $675. It comes with the sony leather case which looks new in which I could turn around and sell because I wont be using it and it also comes with the wall charger to charge the battery out of camera which does charge faster than charging via the camera's usb port. It also comes with orginal box..documentation..lcd screen protector and other things.
The prices are so close, but if I get the IV..I'd have to spend more because I'd have to get a second battery and faster larger memory card if I want to shoot 4K. It just seems a bit extreme for what I want it for. But it is a newer camera...
My other option is just to wait and see what else pops up on eBay or even perhaps here at TPF for sale.
Which one should I get?
