Hi all, While I agree with almost all of the posts here - both positive and negative, the thing to bear in mind is this camera is a Beta, not a production model. I'm the person who's been described in other posts as a mythical creature - an amateur videographer who can afford the price and time to invest in this. And I see that the potential this camera gives, especially with ML on-board, would be an opportunity wasted if I didn't commit to it. I've a very long relationship with Linux and have tinkered with the ML code so for me a quick fiddle with the source code and a re-compile is no big deal. I know I'm in for a bumpy ride, but for me who has the luxury of not having to worry about screwing up paid gigs, and benefiting from a bleeding edge systems, is really exciting. So for all of you nay-sayer, sit back and just let this project pan out. It may crash and burn, but it also may be the best thing ever (well, for raw video cameras that is). Just for the record I'm from a background similar to maxotics - been using ML for a few years, absolutely stoked when they developed Raw video, bought a 50D and really enjoyed the quality of the results - became frustrated somewhat with the core ML devs (but still an avid supported for what they've given me) jumped ship to BM and so enjoying my BMPCC because 'It just works' and enjoyed the rollercoaster of a ride with their firmware updates so much that I bought a seconds BMPCC (bugger still hasn't arrived yet though - effing BM and their Swiss distributers!) And while I've been reading EOSHD for years, this is the first post that I feel so passionate about that I've created an account to post with.
