right now the camera is useless for most of us, we can not trust to do anything important with it, and price is too high for all its limitations, once the camera is out there, and we get good reviews we could find a way to use it, if we can run all day with an external recorder, well, that's interesting, not ideal, but much better, if we use a small vent in a cage could also work, we really don't know yet, with the current information it is clearly a NO NO, but real world test and DIY solutions could change our initial decision.

totally agree, I hope BM make sense and provide a tool with this new sensor to the indie/solo shooter which is and has been its major customer market.

haha, I know is better stay in silence, but really, when you are waiting for a pocket, the rumors say a new pocket, and a brick for medium size companies is released, I have to say something!, it is really frustrating that BM is now trying to compite with RED instead of providing a better tool for the indie/solo shooter who make this company to grow in the camera market.

all people who is talking and taking are not going to buy it, it is just talk, maybe two o three guys here have the money to afford it.

upset about this camera ?, do not care less, maybe upset that BM didn't bring a better tool for the indie/solo shooter. I was expecting a new pocket.

I think BM is just making resolve the best home for BRaw, which make sense, how about Premiere?, final cut?, did Braw performs in the same way?.

an UM4.6K ending in 4 hours on eBay now around $2K, and most probably will end below $2.5K. looks like a good price! https://www.ebay.com/itm/MINT-Blackmagic-Design-URSA-Mini-4-6K-Digital-Cinema-Camera-PL-Mount-FREE-2-DAY/184362250905?hash=item2aecd8b299:g:iSAAAOSwsQ5e-Umk

you can't make 8K to work in Resolve, but 12K from the new Blackmagic runs like butter?, mmm!!!.

Great, overheating has not so much impact in Canada, let's wait for the review in Miami. Anyway, probably with some indie ice pack solution will be posible to get better time recordings in hot weather. if we find a DIY solution for hot weather the camera will be really good!

It really concerns me how people here is so fascinated with this new camera from Blackmagic which they are never going to buy because of they do not have the money, it is a waste of time, this camera is for a crew, yes, we will have some crazy guy going SOLO with this camera, but the performance will never be close to what a crew could achieve. What jumped Blackmagic to the eyes of the people was the development of cameras which are affordable for the indie/student shooter, medium and big productions will never switch to Blackmagic because of the reliability of their cameras, Blackmagic has an history, their cameras can work well, or bad, you never know, nobody in a big job is ever going to risk a day of shooting using the less reliable camera in the market, that's the reason Alexas dominate the market, and in second place we have RED. The target for this camera clearly is medium size productions, but I do not see it eaten a big portion of the market, since there are already other very good options out there. So guys, really, don't waste your time, you are not going to buy this camera, never, you will wait for the new pocket 8K or whatever come next.

Waw, real life experience is gold before any buying decision, a Komodo if it is reliable like the other RED's, with a decent autofocus, in a small package for run and gun unnoticed on the streets looks much much better to me.

well, tax also apply for Blackmagic (so higher price, higher tax) and if you are in the US just order it from B&H and tax is cero. Usually people will have a rig where to mount the Komodo, or can get a second hand on eBay for cheap, a dedicated cage looks fine but I doubt will be needed, and I am sure a lot of people will use it as their A cam, if the autofocus is near DPAF will be my A cam, the mount is RF, so we will have ND filters with the adapter to EF, it really does looks good in paper, let's see how it is in reality, could be another disaster like the new canons with the limitation to be used in the arctic, but certainly you can built it for a lot less than $10K, and most probably there will be cheaper Cfast that will work on it ether, also the Komodo will be perfect to shoot on the stress unnoticed, something imposible with a C200, C300 and this Blackmagic, that's the main reason I have not get a C200 yet. Still many things to be seeing in real life for the Komodo, but if RED do it right, I don't see where Blackmagic can eat their market, even in commercials, if the customer is paying a big check he is expecting to see an Arri or a RED on set, not a Blackmagic.

my understanding is that Komodo will be around $6K, which is a lot less than the new Blackmagic, where did you get that the final price is $8K?

I honestly doubt the new Blackmagic is going to damage Red Komodo market, the new RED has the most compressed codec in the market, so less store needed meaning less money in disks, also will have autofocus (if it is close to DPAF it is a winner), and in a smaller package, so I can use it in gimbals, drones, etc, it is going to be the perfect B or C camera for big productions, and many people also would use it to jump into RED train. After canon R's overheating disaster I am now waiting for the Komodo presentation, and the new Sony of course, anyway, the niche for this Blackmagic camera is going to be very specific, and clearly 99% of the people in this forum is not going to invest on it.

certainly Blackmagic is now interested in other segment of the market, we were all expecting a new FF pocket, and we got this white elephant, strange, very strange indeed. why the new canons doesn't look so bad after this morning?, a trick of the mind maybe.

I read you comment and most probably you are right, but RED's cameras have an incredible codec that use so less physical space that is hard to believe anyone will migrate from RED to Blackmagic, also soon we will have the new 6K RED, with autofocus, in a small package, and for less money, I think Blackmagic will not be able to catch that market.

fair enough, I am sorry I said what I said, I was just reacting and I should have reacted better, there is no job that is not a good job, specially in today's market, and in the mess we will have after covid19, anyway, a direct offense is also not good man.

have a nice day too.

and later you repeated again, then I used the same word on you, please remember your words.

that's what you said before, please do not ignore your own words.

I was talking about the camera, then I was offended with the clown word two times, and I reacted and said the same word, if you read the comments you will see I didn't say anything to this guy until he call me clown.

I said that about the camera, that is the perfect camera for that purpose, was not directed to you, you then call me clown, that was a direct offense. You did it first.

this guy call me clown two times before, if you read previous comments you will see it.

I am not trolling, this guy call me Clown before, just read the previous comments, do not expect I will not react if somebody call me clown two times before. and I just answered him with the same offense, I did not scale it.

the only Clown I see is the one shooting stock footage, and happy about it!!!
