if only all these so-called film makers had it in them to put the same effort into shooting something creative and worthwhile rather than just shooting f%%king tests.

To add to this, i haven't seen any footage where people aren't trying to get the Orbs. Everyone seems to have gone out to highlight the problem, but no one has actually tried to solve it/find a solution whilst filming.  The image quality of the Pocket shits all over DSLRs & we all know how many problems we had to endure/circumvent to get acceptable footage - i've got a laundry list of things/situations that i simply won't/can't shoot because of these problems. I'm just hoping that they will recalibrate all future Pockets before they ship anymore - they can probably minimise the problem, don't think they'll cure it 100%.

Because, many who own the BMCC (and were aware of it's, er, challenges) don't stop praising it. And from day one, they produced images, not possible with any other camera for a roughly comparable price. Because even now, a few weeks after the first shots of the Pocket were published (some of which showed no orbs, making the calibration theory somewhat believable), you can as well see the limitations as well as the potential. No one can produce a camera like this for this price and have no issues. Of cause, smart people lean back and wait until the worst issues are cleared.

Check out Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, it has a bunch of tracking telephoto shots.
