Wow, sounds like they're struggling to sell units.
It's really hard to justify shelling out 4k when Blackmagic offers a great 6k camera for much less. This would be an easy sell at $2500. Hopefully, we'll see some decent discounts after NAB.
I will wait until price drop significantly maybe 6 more months. And buy one

New firmware update for S1H just dropped. This didn't include ProRes RAW, but did fix noise in some HFR modes. I'll test tomorrow.
YouTube is now displaying 5K footage when you upload a 5.9K file. My IBIS test above didn't always show the 5K until this past weekend.
