It is normal for many brands across many industries to be comfortable to say one thing in person but not be comfortable for it to be filmed for the entire WORLD to then see. Ah yeah, I remember that popping off! That was funny. Must have given Grant a mini heart attack.

Is a pity it doesn't have more than one output from the BMPCC4K, as then you could have a LUT on one output for the client and no LUT for your own monitoring. Damn it!

How do you make the BMPCC4K be a pocket camera? By folding it up! Be a bit of a waste of a BMPCC if I only ever used it on one wedding.

Raw to the CFast and 720P ProRes Proxy files to the SD card for folks like me who have a totally useless PC to edit on with a proxy workflow.

The GH5 and BMPCC5K sensor are very different? It is the GH5S and BMPCC4K sensors which have a similarity. (emphasis mine) I've used the BMPCC almost naked while running around like a headless chicken at weddings.

I'd assume/hope so, as that is just an extremely normal workflow for many MANY productions. Record raw/log for the best results, but apply a LUT on the image you sent to the client monitor so that they don't freak out!

Agreed with him, internal NDs is the big feature missing from the BMPCC4K.

Ah, just like what the Z Cam E2 does!

A solid case is made for that. But the only downside I might see of that dual camera set up is GH5 & BMPCC4K might not match as easily for quick turn arounds as using two Panasonic cameras together in a two camera shoot. Custom LUTs is a big thing I'm looking forward to about the BMPCC4K I thought it does? As the the URSA Mini has WFM, and they share the same underlying OS No windowing at 100fps is impressive

Don't worry, you can look at the a6300 owners and think about how they felt when your a6500 came out! ;-) But is that only when doing HFR? Can it be non-windowed in 1080 24p? I would assume so. Whoops, I spoke too soon. No in camera NR is what makes it so impressive how clean it has been according to people who have seen it. Does Grant Petty own 100% of BMD?

Exactly. And also because it is a Mark II product I expect it will ship with less teething issues than some past BMD products have had.

It is all the money they saved by buying a BMPCC4K! I think just adding the word "flavor" in the front stretches the meaning of the word rather too far! Tonnes of companies do this! This is a major source of leaks/rumors you see on websites, is companies strategically releasing some new info so as to keep buyers within the fold and not drifting off to a competitor's product. And is why they will at times talk officially too about products they have in development. For instance Zoom showing off the F8n might have stopped me wandering off to consider other recorders for my next purchase, instead waiting a few more months to see what happens with the F8n in July.

I'll be very curious if come September if the Pocket and Micro Cinema secondhand prices will finally drop below US$500 (which is what the BMPCC used to sell for new!) Total nonsense. Crowdfunding is to get money in before manufacturing starts. While BMD won't see a penny of this prior to them being sold to the dealers

I bet 2018 will pass by without any of the traditional companies putting raw video (or even raw video output) into any of their stills cameras. It did seem very strange to me to say that about a camera which doesn't have a screen that can face you!! :-/

20mp is impossible, the sensor itself is not capable of that. You can expect instead very similar options to the GH5S in many ways. Choose Nikon, cheaper and easier to adapt to other mounts. http://ironfilm.co.nz/rokinon-cine-lenses/

Good to hear another firmware update is coming for E1 owners, I wonder what it will be.

I think you can still pay to enable 4K on the original FS700 as well if a person ends up buying that instead

haha! I doubt it. Plus you'd need the BMPCC4K to be able to record 8+ tracks at once itself.

Yup, but overall it probably will have less features/specs than the others.

Why the GH5 in particular? I say Panasonic has been banging on their doors for a while now, such as the GH4 with the first ever internal 4K camera in that niche. Full frame diehards will say MFT is going to go extinct in the future as FE gathers speed (and Canikon FF mirrorless arrive), but I'd say the evidence on the grounds says nothing is further from the truth. MFT is one of the most well supported standards there are! By a wide range of companies. http://ironfilm.co.nz/kinefinity-joins-micro-four-thirds/ And since then only more have started to use MFT, such as DJI.

Different sensor design, has quite a few pros/cons vs Terra 4K. (arguably the Terra 6K is "better", but the Terra 4K is newer and I know people who owned a Terra 6K then sold it once the Terra 4K arrived) Terra 6K is same sensor as in the KineMAX 6K, while Terra 4K is a totally new sensor for Kinefinity (probably the same one as in the GH5S?).

Much much much less if you're buying a FS700 secondhand for US$2K ish ish

He is from Holdan, thus "they" clearly refers to BMD. https://www.holdan.co.uk

Seems strange that they're going to spend SIX MONTHS manufacturing cameras before shipping even the first one?! That is a great little starter selection! And yes, just use adapters to MFT and you'll be all good. I recommend one standard Nikon G to MFT, and also a focal reducers such as a RJ Lens Turbo That is what I'm expecting too, that the date was very conservative so even if unexpected delays pop up that BMD still has enough buffer left that they won't risk slipping past that date. Ohhhhhhhh! Very very nice. I wonder if BMD could partner with MovieSlate (basically the industry "standard" for tracking data with an iPad app) to share this info directly from the MovieSlate app to the BMD cameras. https://www.movie-slate.com https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/movieslate-8/id959690900?mt=8
