zerocool22 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hey, I was just wondering, shouldnt the blackmagic ursa mini 4.6k have a pricedrop soon, as its already almost 2 years after announcement and it is still listed the same price. Your thoughts? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have no clue why the original Ursa is still expensive as heck. Surely they are not selling a lot of them over the Mini?? I don't think the 4.6k one has been out 2 years? The Ursa Mini 4k maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icarrere Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 After 4.0 firmware I would expect a huge rise price as it is now a new camera, the lowest in price for what it offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't think it's going to drop anytime soon, especially for what the camera offers it's a hell of a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Is there anything else out there which would force BMD to push its price down??? Nope. Who knows, BMD could always do something out of the blue like the 50% drop they did with the BMPCC a while ago (which very sadly they never again repeated.... well, aside from a very short moment here and there). Likely until new cameras come out to give some downwards pressure the prices won't drop much? The next ground breaking cameras in terms of low value / performance ratio, would be: Panasonic GH5, whatever BMD (& Kinefinity) announce at NAB 2017, Sony a7S/a7R mk3 (sometime 2017....), Sony FS5 mk2 (????), something randomly "out of the blue" (a new Kickstarter project?? JVC doing an update to the LS300??? Who knows what!!). I doubt any of those announcements in 2017 will make BMD feel like they "must" drop the price of the URSA Mini, the only one of those which might make an impact in dropping BMD's prices would be...... an announcement from BMD themselves! (but I keep on thinking that there must be finally a NAB when they do *not* announce a camera!! Give themselves breathing space, and a chance to catch up, and not ship cameras late for once!!)

josdr Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 With the gh5 and the new Sonys that are bound to appear BMD cannot afford to stand still,nor we want them to... Software for a camera is an evolving process IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
