RWR Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 "a credit card authorization hold occurs at the time the order is placed." What exactly does that mean? Are any vendors offering refundable "deposit"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( it was when I ordered mine, and I'm 1st in line ) I have seen it on every pre-order product that I have ordered through them. Damn, that sucks. The only reason I preordered was because I made sure 3 or 4 times that the deposit was refundable. If it wasn't I'd have just waited and got it a few weeks/months later. In fact, I did a cheeky one and put in a pre-order at two different stores, both offer refunds on the deposit, so who ever ships it to me first gets my business, the other gets a cancelled order. Worst case, I get 2 on the same day and take one back, unopened for full refund and some lucky shopper can buy one without having to be on a preorder list. Edit: Both stores are listed on Blackmagic's site as authorised dealers, so I know they're legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanicalEYE Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 For all those concerned about HRC's listing with the bmpcc picture, the picture has been updated. http://hotrodcameras.com/new-gear-nab2018-pre-order/ 27 minutes ago, RWR said: "a credit card authorization hold occurs at the time the order is placed."

Authorization hold is a funds hold that the place on your card when you submit the order, but the hold falls off, and is never completely processed until your order is shipped.

amanieux Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 the weakest point of this camera will be resolution : with only 8 mpix on a bayer mask it means that yuv information will be interpolated in 4k. a 24mpix sensor that scales downs to 4k like sony a6500 will have 3x more details and it will be very easy to notice.

Many need reliable autofocus. Many need good weather sealing. Anamorphic de-squeeze. A tilting screen. Wifi. Smaller file sizes. The full frame look. Any number of things. There is no camera to rule them all - never was, never will be. On the contrary, numerous impartial observers following an evaluative trip to Las Vegas concluded that the A7iii was the "complete" package.

I paid with paypal though. http://hotrodcameras.com/BMP4k I preordered from Hotrod immediately after the BM presentation and I can confirm that the Deposit is non-refundable line was definitely there when I ordered. I know for sure it was because it made me pause for a beat to decide if I definitely wanted to order at that moment. Juxx989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated earlier, it was there when I ordered mine, and I'm their first order. MurtlandPhoto and Juxx989 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansel Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Regarding HFR the website states that it shoots the usual stuff in up to 1080p60. BUT nothing between windowed 120fps and 60fps. It would be great to have at least another threshold of whatever fps before it crops in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one between the two, based on a 30p standard would be 90fps, but I've not heard of any camera that does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansel Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Well, it would be great to get the highest possible amount of fps without windowing. No idea about the tech necessary. Didn`t the gh4 did something like 96fps (no idea about cropping)? For me it is great to slow stuff down. I have FF 60p now if my 50mm becomes 100mm it is for me a not so desireable workflow. I love to have windowed 120fps, am blown away by it rather. But I will probably shoot surfing with it, something where the added reach is also desireable, or at least where I don't have to go back and forth between cropping in.

I shared a video (or more than one), where one of the Blackmagic employees says that it does upto 100fps non-windowed. hansel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoScoops Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Super 16 crop at 2.5-2.7K (whatever it works out to) and frame rate upto somewhere in between the 4K and HD like 72-96fps would be nice. mkabi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansel Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I simply could not find it on the tech info sheet of the product. Surly it's a long way till it ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually each and ever interview with Pety and the Blackmagic guys is interesting. Because they all give interesting information Including why they didn't put ProRes RAW on it and whay he thinks about it.

Yes, False Color also, but it appears it will not have Waveform, interesting why not? Well at least not now it does. I find it hard to believe they will Not have it in when it comes out.

I mean 1600 iso may be clean enough? thx Well it has dual ISO"s, 400, 3200. So 3200 Ought to be pretty close to what ISO 400 looks like, will be a little worse I am sure, but it may be good up to 6400 ISO?? But yeah, 3200 should be fine. Some have suggested it might be the Only ISO's that you should shoot at, 400, 3200 because they are both base ISO's. Dan Wake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
