Battery life is Supwrb. It has a Canon LP6 battery

I almost bought 2 GH5 cameras (or perhaps 1GH5s). I would have posted a suicide video live somewhere if I had. Thank God I didn't. Hehehe I hope Blackmagic Collaborate with Foxconn and Target 30,000 Camera Sales for the first year (first 365 days, not a calender year). Bye bye A7siii (dead on arrival), GH5s and so many others.

Yes. I love the small size (the 7inch ones are too large and bulky, especially with batteries and all).

One camera to Rule Them All.

The Dual Native ISO and the sensor specs give away that it is the same sensor as the GH5s ot something very similar.

RIP a lotta IPCs for Video. Maybe all: Full 4/3 HDR sensor Dual native ISO up to 25,600 MFT lens mount 13 stops of dynamic range 5inch touchscreen Internal SD/UHS II and CFast 2.0 card recorders Can record to any external USB-C disk Bluetooth built-in Mini XLR input with P48 Full HDMI

If it has the Panasonic GH5s sensors ... it will eat into a LOT of Panasonic's ILC Market.

Huge Screen (5 inches?), CFast, SD and direct Hard Drive Connection; 4 built in mics, plus Mini XLR, Big battery, $1295 price. Wow

The Live Stream has suddenly LOST audio. Wow. It's back. It disappeared for a bit.

I guess we'v been spoilt by all the Flagship Smartphone launches. Especially those by Samsung. This one has tiny TVs (like 32 inches or something). I wish they had rented a 200inch 4k projector or something for the launch. With some very Filmic Lighting. I am sure that would have added to the sex appeal of the Pocket 4k. Probably added atleast a 1000 more buyers, who were besotted by the show (football recording housewives who suddenly felt that this may be the camera for them).

The event has STARTED !!!

Don't jump off your chairs, but here is the link to the Live Event (along with a countdown to the event):

43rumors.com posted something about it shooting photos too. That would be interesting, gate-crashing the hybrid party by way of a RAW abd ProRes shooting beast (in a DSLR/ Mirrorless Form-factor).

While the Blackmagic 2.7k Cinema Camera was just an unruly sized beast (both in dimensions and weight), I am surprised, because I thought the BMPCC would be smaller than all 4/3rd mount cameras. This is the BMPCC compared with the Panasonic GM5. http://camerasize.com/compare/#453,570 Right now there seem to be a lot of 4k capable sensors in the 1inch and 4/3rd range. While the Sony ones are famous a lot others exist, that may not be publicised enough. A lot of those would be just fine for a 4k cinema camera.

Amuse ourselves with our Wishlists. Hehehe ?

I agree. Also average or usable preamps would be nice ?. My friend used the ProRes LT and I thought it would be pretty lousy till he used it. For the bitrate, it is pretty good.

Peace everyone. Let's discuss the exciting BMPCC 4k.

Sir, are u also drinking like me right now? Lol

If it does 4k 60p, is priced at $1499 or less, has many favlours of prores and has decent battery (1.5 hours), and decent preamps, it may actually eat into some of the market of other low budget film cameras (GH5?). What it will lack is IBIS, photo shooting (Hybrid camera talents(, super long battery life, dual card slows, battery grip options, decent low light (they may be able to push ISO to 1600 by improving processing), water resistence, excellebt LCD and EVF etc. Anything above $1500 may be hard to justify especially with average or bad battery life and bad sound/ preamps. I wish the next Blackmagic Pocket Camera has some kickass ecosystem (external sound, good 5 inch affordable monitor-cum-recorder, external batteries etc).

Wow. If that is what is had turned into, it's like shrek, where the princess turns into fiona. Also, the sensor is as tiny as ever, and the body looks like a flattened APS-C sizes camera squeezed under a hydraulic press. Now it's pocketable in purses, perhaps. Or huge jacket pockets.

Oh ok, thanks for the info @cantsin I guess there are a lot of sensors that do Not make it to public view, because manufacturers either make them on order, or, because they are first sent to former buyers to give them the first right to buy them. I guess that's why there is such a long guessing game on.

I always wondered Who Manufactured the sensor used in the BMPCC. It's even Smaller than a 1inch sensor and yet it apparently has 13 stops of dynamic range (which is a hair more than any M43 sensor).

I hope it has the 4.6k sensor instead of the 4k sensor. The difference between the two is just too much. P.S. that sensor size may most likely be different, so this comment may not be valid.

Thank you for the reply. Will check this out. I already like the pan shot in camera (4k live cropping?). I think it's pretty good. I only wish they had more time options (and perhaps more movement) options in it. I also love the new photo stacking with multiple images on a single image option that they have on the next GX9 (sequence composition).
