Ian Anderson Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So, just come across this pic on twitter: https://twitter.com/danielogarcia1/status/321090242746654721/photo/1 I guess there'll be more information tomorrow, but this seems like quite big news.

tehgeek Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I just saw this too. I think there may be some annoyed people who ordered the previous model. I am very interested in that pocket camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHines Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Damn, they're stepping it up big time! Super 35 4k for $4,000?? Who the hell is going to buy the original BMC? ha. Wow, I officially am going to buy this one. I love what Blackmagic is doing to the industry and how they are really pushing things forward. Really refreshing to see a company put their best foot forward and not just pump out 1080p cameras left and right that no one cares about. What is every other camera manufacturer thinking right now besides what the fuck do we do now? Canon's ridiculously priced 8 bit 4K 1DC is going to be bought by no one when you could buy 3 of these for the same price and it shoots RAW!!! Wow, this is a legit game-changer if this camera is real. Germy1979, NikolaOvcharski, Chrad and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germy1979 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Sans probably frame rates, this just out gunned the Scarlet, Sony "F's", Red Ones, and everything Canon makes..Actually the Alexa too. Internal Raw on SSD's on S35 with a Global shutter. $4,000. Ftw. Granted, i will have been dead for 60 years by the time it arrives.

Chrad Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So maybe they haven't bothered to fix the problems with the BMC and mass produce it because they realized there was no point in pushing a camera with that many flaws when they could produce something that much better just around the corner? While the Production Camera is amazing for $4000 (global shutter WHAT) the Pocket BMC may be the one no budget filmmakers everywhere have been waiting for. A shrunk (cropped?) original BMCC sensor with an active MFT lens mount for $995. If you're a GH1/2/3 user, you can use all your Lumix lenses, and if you have a standard HDMI EVF, it supports that now too, no need for an SDI-HDMI convertor. GH3 will need a price drop, and fast. Guess the 4/3 Rumors post that no-one believed from last year was true! Thinking about this, they haven't just killed the Red and Canon offerings, but also the Digital Bolex, if that thing was ever going to be brought to market. If you want a Super 16 sized sensor, here it is for $1000. If you want no rolling shutter, here it is for just a bit more than the Bolex S16 would cost, thanks to a global shutter/CMOS combination. Makes me feel bad for those guys, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plotter Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 That pocket camera looks sweet. I'd take that over the GH2/GH3 for the CameraRAW capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 One problem with the BMCC mini: how the hell do you record uncompressed RAW to SD cards? EDIT: Looking around, seems you'd want a bunch of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/841569-REG/Lexar_LCF128CTBNA1000_128GB_CompactFlash_Memory_Card.html You'd need at least a 125 MB/s write speed. 128GB gets you 15 minutes of footage, so still better than the film days. And of course, you can reuse the cards. Pro-Res is of course the saner option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germy1979 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Raw for under $1,000. This is actually what you call a "game changer" in the real world Laforet. Lmfao JHines, Chrad, nahua and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It looks small and lightweight enough to put on a lot of basic rigs, or a Glidecam, which is pretty amazing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenogears Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This Pocket camera is what supossed to do Sony with a Nex video camera. Gorgeus, that's my next camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 A shrunk (cropped?) original BMCC sensor with an active MFT lens mount for $995. Who says it's shrunk or cropped? Could it not just be a regular MFT sensor? If you're a GH1/2/3 user, you can use all your Lumix lenses, and if you have a standard HDMI EVF, it supports that now too, no need for an SDI-HDMI convertor. GH3 will need a price drop, and fast. Today I think I did a lot of things right. > returned to FCP (now X) > finally learned Resolve lite (btw, do you get Resolve full version with the Pocket CC? ;) ), I'm loving it. > invested in more MFT lenses > didn't believe in vaporware gamechangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germy1979 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If you don't think the MoVi is going to change the way movies are made you may as well give up now. smh. I've offended someone. $15,000 < $995. I'm sure it will change the world man. nahua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Who says it's shrunk or cropped? Could it not just be a regular MFT sensor? They're marketing it as a 1080p super 16 sensor. Super 16 is smaller than a MFT sensor. BMCC was a 2432 x 1366 2.5K camera. They're calling it 13 stops, which matches with the BMCC sensor. I'm guessing they've cropped it to the super 16 size, leaving them with 1920x1080 or so. Makes more sense to reuse the BMC sensor than develop a new one.
