    And that is why I bailed on it when the MFT BMCC was announced for $1995.

    I see no sign of it on the horizon.

    Who know when this baby will be availabble ? Some shop talk almost 5 months of waiting ...

  • jakepowelljakepowell

    it seems 11 stops was a mistake bmd now state it is still 12.

  • danyyyeldanyyyel

    If I remember well a lot of people that where speculating on the sensor in the 4k blackmagic camera where saying the spec was 10 stop of DR in normal mode and up to 15 stop in HDR dual exposure mode. I think we are getting closer to the 10 stop.

    Well this 11 stops bit certainly is swaying me back on the see saw again....I'm a stones throw from switching my pre-order/pre-purchase to a passive mount MFT version of BMCC... but my gut (aka my empty wallet) tells me- Just get the pocket you ordered for now and wait for the inevitable active MFT because then you'll at least have a b-cam for tight spots and the ultimate jello cam for the rest.

  • danyyyeldanyyyel

    It defeats the idea of cinematic prone by Black magic with the 13 stop BMC.

  • Ze_CahueZe_Cahue

    My bet is that the "tuning sensor delay" is according to this deception on dynamic range field. It's not that small loss for a global shutter. They gave up trying to set it up with 12stops, now they are trying hard to get at least 11.

  • Ze_CahueZe_Cahue

    11 stops, mmmm not 12 anymore? Soon it will be 10.5 for real :-P

    @Jspatz

    Do not worry. BM was always "good" with message time and marketing result :-).

  • JspatzJspatz

    I am not seeing that. "Richard Lim speaks very clearly that even the 2.5 K model could get an active MFT mount."

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    4K Cine Camera with active MFT mount is on the horizon. Active mount means you will have full electronic control on lenses

    Every time you become upset with BM think about Digital Bolex hipsters, and you'll feel much better.

    so called update and explaining shipping delay. I am waiting for fanboys to applaud "Thanks Grant"

    It's getting more and more obvious that the company can't cope with camera manufactoring.

  • CFreakCFreak

    The long version of that interview is here. I didn't see it posted in this thread, so it maybe new to some people:

  • CFreakCFreak

    saw the 4k cam at BMD day in NYC. It was a protype, locked at 400 asa, with a green/blue cast in the image. Still lots of work to do there. The global shutter lioked good, I didn't see any signs if moire. They said it'll be ready in a few weeks, but, the people on the floor didn't have answers to a lot of questions.

    They also screened a video shot by one river media at NAB of Grant Petty saying a lossless AND visually lossless (lossy) cinemaDNG codec would be integrated into the firmware. Afterwards it maybe applied to the CC & PC.

    You're not scary, nor do you come across that way. But when I do something incorrectly . . . y'all know. You just know. I can feel it. Like you're watching. ;-)

  • shianshian

    cuz somebody did sumpin' stupid!!!

  • Ian_TIan_T

    ...well....your avatar does look like you're cussin somebody out. ...I'm just sayin...lol

  • shianshian

    Why does everyone think I'm so scary? I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet.... until you do something stupid. :)

  • B3GuyB3Guy

    I'm haunted by Shian, Vitaily, Driftwood, etc. in my dreams all the time, pointing out where I've tripped up in my latest project ;-)

    In all seriousness, though . . . if this camera were to come out in M4/3 or a similar short FFD mount, I'd be virtually forced to buy it. I have a design for a unique adapter that incorporates an ND filter, and that'd basically complete the cam as full-featured.

    @shian

    I think they see you in their sleep whole year already :-)
