There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

- In general, are mirrorless cameras the better for video? (not just at a low price point, I want to grow into it)
- I like the idea of shooting on full frame, but can't afford it right now. Can I just by full frame lenses and use them on a cropped sensor, and later migrate my setup to full frame later? Are there any trade-offs here?
- Are Rokinon Cine lenses any good? They are very cheap for what they are offering and it sounds too good to be true...
- Including a couple lenses, a tripod, and maybe even a steady-cam, what's the best camera I could/should get in the $1500-$2000 range?
So far in my search, I'm leaning towards the Sony a6000, but I'm concerned about having to switch to Canon or Nikon someday because of lens support/quality reasons.Or maybe I'm just reading in to this too much... either way, any help is appreciated. :)
