Yes, usb-c charging and power cable being included is excellent. I will include it in the list. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just have to scope the manufacturing process. I still wouldn't hold my breath for a pre-September release, but I think BM has learned from their past not to be overly optimistic on delivery dates. Grant even said he was announcing it too early. September 2018 is impossible. Prove me wrong Blackmagic, prove me wrong. :D Dave Maze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWR Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yeah andrgl..if it's too early for HIS liking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I’m guessing December 16th. The idea of using this camera for vlogging seems absurd to me, but that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove me wrong Blackmagic, prove me wrong. :D Right before that he literally says, "The product is finished." And then he proceeds to say that they just have to nail down the manufacturing process.... A lot of people are making the joke that they'll probably take another year to start shipping, but BM is a way different company than it was back in 2013. They'll deliver in September. That's my bet.

Hell, people are vlogging with RED Weapons. The more Pockets BM sells, the more likely they'll make another. Keep the vloggers comin'!

jonpais Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 No IBIS, no articulating screen, no AF-C make it far from ideal for vlogging. I don’t see how the price makes up for those deficiencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyyyel Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 44 minutes ago, mkabi said: It makes all hybrid/DSLR cameras prehistoric (dinosaurs). But I think its most relate-able to GH5 because of the m43 sensor and price is always a factor.... I would not say that until it has a Canon or at least a Sony phaze detect autofocus and I would add a lighter long gop codec. Not everyone will want 100's gig of data and continually manual focusing. But for filmmakers and docu it will trash anything around its price range. Dave Maze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 @jonpais, no idea why you don't concur really... Downvotes are not the best out of me : D I think to each its own. If we're speaking about the same on topic, that's a unique product out there. With no mention in that such price range, go figure : ) This is mainly a forum for filmmakers. Vlogging can end in an interesting and effective way to democratically express ideas and even pictures but has its place. Not really need to overuse more than strictly fits the task IMNSHO and Don accurately inferred. Out of likes today :-) greenscreen and shooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that this will win some beauty awards, but it is nowhere as ugly as the initial renders. If you watch the pics on the Blackmagic site, it actually looks pretty nice. Must be the make-up and lighting. Dustin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
