Which cam for less than 5000 bucks

Chuck and Noa,
Any reasons why I should stay clear of the BlackMagic production cam?

I have not shot with that camera but from what I have seen and read about it, it's not the easiest camera to work with and it takes some capable hands to get the most from it, if you are feeling adventurous I'd say go for it :)

Any experience with the GH4 and recording to the Atomos shotgun? That recorder is indeed 2000 bucks, so when I factor everything I'm wondering if I shouldn't just wait for that new Sony Sony - PXW-FS7 XDCAM Super 35 or maybe just found a a Sony - NEX-FS700R or a Sony - NEX-FS100UK? That thing doesn't have ND filters built in though.
