New Nexigo N950P 4K camera!

I really like this camera. I'm an actor, producer and director with over 40 films and to be honest Nexigo contacted me to test this new camera. They asked me to share my HONEST thoughts so here it is. I use the N660P as my daily driver and love it. The N660P can record at 60 fps, but only up to 1080p. This new N950P can shoot 4K (and the footage looks great through the Sony lens) but there's no 60fps option, only 30fps. PRO The quality of the footage is very good - the Sony sensor really makes a difference! Digital zoom works well (although it only works in 1080P - no 4K upscaling). The N950P comes with a remote control that lets you adjust on-the-fly settings like brightness, zoom, mic level (if you're using the built-in mic), mic mute, video mute, and BLC (backlight compensation) on- or turn off and switch the frequency between 50 Hz and 60 Hz. For example, it tells me that the BLC button on the remote toggles backlight compensation on and off, but it doesn't tell me what the BLC is doing, why I need it, etc. The remote is interfering with the light on my softbox, which also has a has remote control. If I turn off the softbox with the remote, the camera also turns off and vice versa, making it difficult to maneuver when setting it up. There is no indication of what camera settings are currently set. For example, if I press the "50/60 Hz" button on the remote, it switches the frequency. However, there is no indication of what frequency it is currently operating on. I pressed? Now at 60Hz or 50? The only way to ensure this is to press the home button, which will reset the camera to its default settings (default is 60Hz). However, this will reset ALL settings to default. So if you've adjusted anything else (brightness, etc.), you'll have to start over. Those little flaws are definitely not critical and once I got used to them I really enjoyed this camera. For me the quality of the lens and footage far outweigh the disadvantages mentioned above and I think I'll be using the N950P as my daily car from now on. Did I mention it shoots in 4K with a Sony sensor! I hope this helps you decide.
