Perhaps the Pyxis with a MFT mount and the same sensor in it. Maybe with some other cost saving measure? (cheaper/smaller monitor?) If they could release "a Pyxis MFT" sigificantly cheaper than their FF version, say for $1750, then maybe that explains clearing out the BMD Pocket bodies. Interesting! Maybe they also want just want to check if they can sell more if they lower the price - or a combination of the two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Shoo Posted Saturday at 11:51 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:51 PM The price drop for the BMPCC 4K could definitely hint at Blackmagic clearing out stock, but it might also be part of a strategic push to reignite interest in the MFT ecosystem. If they’re planning a newer version with Pyxis inspired specs while retaining the MFT mount, which I doubt, it would not only keep current users invested but also attract new filmmakers looking for affordability without sacrificing quality. Interestingly, a lower price tag on the BMPCC 4K could spur a resurgence in MFT lens purchases, which would help keep the standard alive and thriving. MFT has been quietly losing ground to larger sensor formats, so moves like this could strengthen the system overall by drawing attention back to its flexibility and affordability. I recently wrote a blog post briefly mentioning this very topic, how price cuts like this can reshape the market and reinvigorate interest in lens standards like MFT.

JulioD Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I'm not sure it's ever been the case that when BM cut the price that it means there is a replacement model or that stock is being sold out...? Unless I'm wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a very brief timeline indeed! No mention at all of GH1/GH2/GH3/GH4/GH5/GH6/BGH1/E1/E2/E2-M4/BMCC-MFT/BMPCC/Kinefinity/BOSMA/Chronos/etc? I couldn't imagine ever discussing the history of MFT and not mentioning any of them at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
