Most HD cameras are not AF though (the blackmagic isn’t)
The BMCC (and the pocket version) has autofocus with the BM kit lens and some Canon EF lenses, I believe, though it’s not a very advanced system. With video, AF is mostly use at the start of a fixed scene then locked. The risk of losing a take because of the AF wandering during a moving shot, or in a shot with much movement, is too great, which is one reason why most camera operators use manual focus.
I realise that you were being rhetorical, but for the benefit of others: raw files are around 1GB/minute. There are numerous variations, but that’s a rough idea. ProRes HQ is 4-500MB/minute.
For what it’s worth, I’d go with what stilltortoise said:
My tip? Have a play with what you’ve got. Learn some basics skills of film-making and edit a few little movies together and THEN you’ll have a good idea what you want/need.
