Fundamental misunderstanding of the market dynamics here. There are at least an order of magnitude more people making a professional salary as photographers (ie.: enough to justify a software purchase) than professional videographers. Outside of film, videographers are generally paid a day rate about half as high as photographers, with enormously higher equipment costs. Film - hollywood, streaming, TV etc, combined a…

From what I remember colourists are not using Nuke (more compositing)

In fact they may ask you whether you really wanna go with the 40-buck camera.

(and it supports Linux)

Theoretically.. IIRC, it only officially supports CentOS or some other baroque thing, doesn’t support importing or exporting mp4 when free, and also (unrelated to the product itself) Linux hw accel of video is flakey.

Huh. I got it running on Ubuntu 24 a while back. Didn't know that was an accomplishment.
