Evening all. So my two Micros (I shoot dual-body 3D and damnit, they've got proper Genlock) seem to be good to go, should have them some time next week. I've spent the best part of a year getting all the parts I need (cables, filters etc) and writing software for tablet-based viewing and remote control, and the gear has slowly been gathering dust in a box ; ). Now no GS, boo! I just hope they don't screw us early adopters who are buying regardless (with mixed feelings in my case) with an updated version at the next NAB (or a sudden price drop|) - that would suck. Still, I locked in a good deal on them before the exchange rate dived.
I have two Pockets and agree that moiré Is their one fatal flaw (that accent came from spell correction : ). Often you don't see any, but when you do it can be awful. The tiny screen also doesn't reveal it, so it can mess up a shot and you only find out in the edit. I really don't like it eg. when shooting lit up cityscapes at dusk, that kind of thing with lots of small highlights. I absolutely hate the rgb shimmer you can get around the in-focus highlight edges and the added sparkle when you slow-pan.
Considering these cams are all about purity of colour, they really should fix this once and for all. I've complained a lot that I don't get why they don't. Sure (it seems) AA filters are expensive. But surely they would be cheaper for BM to include (it could be an order option) than the aftermarket cost for us. Or if that complicates their assembly line, they could still resell them as a DIY install bundle, and save us some cash. Apparently there are new types available that blur less than the older type used to (read up on it once), that would be ideal.
