I am a professional videographer for a living. I use the Ursa mini pro 4.6k for the most part, but sometimes I have had to use my nx1 in a pinch, Sony fs700, panasonic g3, and even a cheap Sony Handycam.

When editing the raw footage in premiere you can easily see the difference in cameras and the "professional" $6000 blackmagic looks very sharp, clear, crisp, and clean compared the the others.

BUT when you export for YouTube compression (or in my case TV broadcast) you can't tell the difference.

What really matters is lighting, focus, dof, and color. Those are the things that will translate across any distribution platform.

What it comes down to is that it doesn't really matter what camera you are using I'd you are using it right and fill the frame with beautifully lit interesting subject matter you have a winner.
