Nice comparison of Vegas & Resolve

This is absolutely true. I have been blown away by Resolve's performance, even with my laptop which only has a GeForce 1050ti.

I had the opposite experience, I kept running into brick walls where it would say my GPU wasn't sufficient for tasks as simple as noise reduction (which VEGAS does just fine on pretty much any supported hardware), and it crashed on me multiple times. I did love its motion tracking system, though.

BRAW is an open source codec. Any camera manufacturer or recorder can implement it into their hardware if they like. If has proven itself to be one of the most efficient codecs. It handles 4k, 6k, 8k, and 12k. What other codec on the market has that capability. Besides the codec lets not ignore the poor performance that vegas has regarding gpu performance. Davinci implements its gpu performance 2nd to none. Even if I did use prores it works smoother on davinci vs Vegas because davinci has mastered gpu acceleration. Vegas is so far behind the curve in its codec support and gpu acceleration capabilities.

This is absolutely true. I have been blown away by Resolve's performance, even with my laptop which only has a GeForce 1050ti.

Tried to use & learn resolve, bit hard at first but pretty easy actually, just that some simple edits required more clicks then VEGAS & PP.

Resolve Color science is just crazy, so natural. And the playback is rock solid, no crash & everything is running smooth.

I, like many people, have a PTSD type fear of Vegas crashing & losing work, because it crashes so often, and I was using Resolve yesterday because vegas wouldn't load the video files and I realised after 30minutes of problem free work I did not have this constant fear. I don't know resolve well enough to use it effortlessly and efficiently though

I'm here for the first time so maybe I won't get the question?

I have two cameras selected for purchase.
Sony RX10 IV and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.

I have a Sony Vegas Pro Suite 18, which I have already gotten to know a bit (from version 13).

Question:
Which camera should I choose (it is quite a big expense for me)?
First, I liked Sony, also because of its universality, because of the slow-motion - but recently I read about Blackmagic (I also got to know the free version of Resolve a bit) and the enthusiastic reviews of Camera 4K.
However, will I use the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K in the Sony Vegas Pro 18? (I have already read about incompatible formats)

I am asking for honest advice and the easiest way possible, because I am not a professional!

@Leszek The Sonys xavc-s codec will save you a lot of headaches. Best approach would be to get sample footage from both cameras and see how it goes.

@Leszek  Sonys xavc-s pozwolił Ci zaoszczędzić wiele problemów.

I know - it's a big plus.
However, I am still analyzing + and - of both cameras.

Probably in the wrong thread, but..

You will get much more use out of the RX10IV. You benefit from the IS, better autofocus and weather sealing and a great lens at no extra cost. Also, you don't need to add lenses, a gimbal, an EVF/monitor for starters, plus nowadays with wireless who needs XLR. Also consider the Panasonic FZ2500, not weather sealed, not as good autofocus, less reach on slightly slower lens (but despite what you may have read just as sharp) - cheaper, with quite a few additional video features (DCI, ND filters) over the Sony. The BMPCC4K is a truly great budget cinema camera, but that's what it is. If only filmmaking is your aim, think about paying the extra for the BM6K, by the time you add a speedbooster adapter to the 4K so you can use EF lenses the cost isn't that much different.

Only you know your needs, but these cameras are very different from each other.

BM requires a viewfinder, batteries, interchangeable lenses, has no autofocus, but very high quality recording codecs. Are you shooting narrative short films? If so it's probably a better option. Some formats won't work in Vegas but it comes with Resolve. The Sony is a convenient camera with built-in zoom lens that only shoots various types of AVC. You might look at the Panasonic GH5 as more competition with the Blackmagic but a little easier to deal with (better battery, viewfinder, stabilization).

Here is a comparison of BRAW vs. ProRes RAW recorded from a Panasonic S1H.
