woohoo. speculations. rumors.

Someone at bmd's forum just stole @Vitaliy_Kiselev 's theory... lol.

You know, "It's very easy to be different, but very hard to be better."

BlackMagicDesign should address this issue quickly.

Fuji took a few months while X10 price dropped from $600 to $400. But Fuji never stated officially about which serial number is free of the issue. So Fuji forums were plagued with all kinda speculation about good versions and bad versions. Then Fuji released X20.

@010101 LOL :) you unseated vicharris for the laugh of the day :) But who has the bigger dick? LOL

I have been keeping my eye on the BMPCC for quite some time. Taking all things into consideration I would rather have the BMCC then the BMPCC, the crop factor alone is a real drag. Then throw in the blooming lights deal and that pretty much seals it for me. I would love to have the dynamic range of the BMPCC especially at a mere $999.00, but to me it makes much more sense to purchase the BMCC to avoid the short comings of the BMPCC.

The only benefit that I see about this camera is the size and dynamic range, other then that the crop factor, battery life, and blooming deal is a real let down. I already have the GH2 and although it may not have the dynamic range of the BMPCC it still provides excellent video quality with the same form factor. So for me I would rather save a little more money and purchase the BMCC instead.

Replace bad sensors with good ones?

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Interesting. I was speculating something like that when I heard BMPCC uses only center part of sensor.

BTW there's some very cute specimens of human being posting in this thread ;-)

Looking at all this it seems like we could need "Don't cry for me Argentina 3" topic.

Everybody comes to camera threads with stick and stone and knives and their Dicks in hand.

In fact it seems like dicks had been locked in pants for months :-)

"Cinema"? "Pro"?...like in "pro tools" "final cut pro" and other extremely pro and cinema stuff...Label gimmicks that's all folks. Pretending that all serious( "pro" if you will in the sense having the ideas, vision and the knowledge to best realize and convey them) visual narrative can/should happen in controlled light conditions is very limiting view of what "cinema" is imho but we are getting subjective just as there many types of cinema out there. Now, to the "cinema point and shoot" here - what BM is doing is definitely nothing short of amazing especially for the price range and this is no brainer. My point with them is why not take it easy. Talk and announce things when you can really deliver them. After you have taken the time to thoroughly test them gazillion times and you are certain they perform well. Then start advertising the thing as such. Having the ability to mass produce them is also a plus ; ) The vaporware business model is becoming too mainstream lately and BM is no exception in this sense. So lets just wait for the infrared intergalactic 32k sensor they would put out next year (to be had for less then 50 bucks of course, oh and the size of the box will be the tic tac candy model, and its going to be pro cinema btw ; )

Why is it that we never get this kind of " FUN " ( name calling, hackling, Dick Wagging ... ) on any other subject. Everybody comes to camera threads with stick and stone and knives and their Dicks in hand.

The orbs appear to be extreme halation, which I didn't see when I pointed it at the bright film lights at the BMD event, especially to look for that. Which leads me to believe it might be a result of the luminance sitting at the extreme edge of the DR or some setting in the codec. It wasn't there when live viewing. It is curious. Usually halation is a sensor issue. But if its not there on live view, and it records that way then the error would likely be elsewhere.

@philiplipetz... NO - Regular pro work isnt shooting videos at the park...or at the subway... I am just saying its a cinema camera.. Use it for its purpose-aka-cinema- You wouldn't use a sledgehammer to nail a picture to a wall.
