With Black Friday nearly here,  when we are scouring around for the best Black Friday camera deals  we sometimes forget that actually some of the best cinema cameras are also given the Black Friday treatment. So you can really save a chuck of change on many deals on cinema cameras that can honestly help filmmakers have the upper hand when starting out their career or wanting to offer better visuals your their clients.
