    I got mine yesterday, have yet to find time to play with it. I'm no elitist either, just good timing. not one to upload random test shots either. ordered 5th July here in Australia from a non mainstream reseller.

    those car bloom look balls! might have to shoot and see for myself.

  • brunoalmeidabrunoalmeida

    deal breaker! :s

  • lmackreathlmackreath

    wow..look at the bloom on the cars in the first few seconds!!

    Maybe it'll become a new fad ;-)

    Like rolling shutter jello is?

    Hate that fad.

    While the blooms at night are pretty bad, footage like this is more alarming to me and may be pretty gross to work around:

    May be BM will be the company that will invent camera without sensor? As it seems like sensors are something that make all the problems in their products.

  • tinyrobottinyrobot

    This doesn't look good for a company that I really want to see succeed.

    I believe I read over on the BM forum that the problems are visible whilst recording, on the rear screen.

  • rlimarlima

    @nomad it seems it's possible to see in the display (I've read it somewhere...)

  • jakepowelljakepowell

    @nomad i've asked him , i'll let you know .

  • nomadnomad

    Ugh, that looks bad. Wonder though if he can see it on the display or if it's in the recording.

  • jakepowelljakepowell

    not made by me, just thought interesting to see.

    April 8th. And in the first hour when they start pre-ordering

  • jleojleo

    @Wilbo lol, yeah, my watch is a few months slow!

    @jleo Former Mayor Villaraigosa, it's Mayor Garcetti now ;)

  • jleojleo

    That craigslist ad shows the location of the Pocket Cam, north of Little Tokyo near City Hall. Either the Yakuza is selling off their BMPCC stash or (ex) Mayor Villaraigosa is getting rid of his!

    @KevinC April 9th?

  • KevinCKevinC

    Just got mine today. I am not "Elites" and pre-ordered it from B&H the first day.

  • kholikholi

    The 150 isn't an estimate, the 20-30 is.

    I guess if you're one hundred percent that most people that bought the camera are on forums or should be posting on vimeo then there's nothing I can really say.

  • theconformisttheconformist

    @kholi Those who are active on forums and likely to post test footage are more often than not the ones who pre-order earliest, and therefore the ones who should make up the majority of the 150 people you claim possess the camera. I'm still wondering where you are getting your estimates.

  • kholikholi

    @Theconformist

    Not everyone spends all of their time on forums or posting footage online. In fact, a very small percentage of the filmmaking community uses forums or vimeo or youtube.

  • theconformisttheconformist

    @ kholi I don't know how you could possibly know that, but judging from how little footage is out there, I highly doubt it.

  • kholikholi

    There are over 150 Pocket Cameras in customer hands right now. From what I can tell, about 20-30 more went out this week alone. "Elites" were testing store demo units, or had first order at those stores.
