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 December 21 Share Posted December 21 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 December 23 Share Posted December 23 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! Alt Shoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your response. This particular post was intentionally more focused on current events and recent developments within the MFT ecosystem, rather than being a comprehensive historical overview.That said, I’m actually working on something that dives deeper into the history of the MFT standard, covering key milestones and contributions from cameras like the GH series, BMPCC, Kinefinity, and others. It’s designed to appeal to those who appreciate the depth and nuance of the system’s evolution.

I understand it was a very brief article, but it was weird in what it focused on (such as a lengthy discussion of Sharp’s 8K, a camera that never sold even one) while not mentioning at all a major MFT camera such as the GH4.

Alt Shoo Posted Thursday at 12:39 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:39 AM @IronFilm again, I appreciate you reading the post, but the purpose of this piece was never to be a comprehensive history lesson. It was about exploring developments and ideas, not rehashing what everyone already knows about cameras like the GH4. The Sharp 8K prototype was included as an example of experimentation within the MFT space, even if it wasn’t a commercial success. Honestly, y’all need to stop pixel peeping everything and focus on the bigger picture. Innovation and what’s next for MFT, which is exactly what this post is about.
