  1. Almost all this annoyances can be fixed with firmware update, maybe you don't use it but audio level is important too and is missed from the BMPCC.

    We need to someone, maybe Blackmagic itself can bring some sort of battery grip like the DSLR cameras have for extend the battery life with a bigger battery and replaceable.

  2. To me is obviously a pre-production model, and why not?, maybe this leak is a viral strategic, this info has been the video/photo news of the day ;)

     

    One thing to notice from the video, when the camera is tested for stabilization, what they are using is a video monitor, so? it's looks like live view is enabled, maybe video options has been upgraded some how, thing that i really hope for because i really like to use my OM-D, and also have some 4/3 lenses.

  3. I own the Oly 14-54mm and the 50-200mm to use on the OM-D and GH3, and i really like it, many can argue that the Olys 4/3 are too big for the Pocket Cinema, is true, but mainly on handheld work is where this can be a issue. I usually work with tripod or Monopod and live in a country where a more expensive technology could leave you to a personal risk, is there where the Pocket Cinema shines for me, good quality and a very affordable price, no need of expensive batteries or recording media, here in Venezuela the 1080p still using diapers. I do work for others countries too and 2.5k wasn't necessary yet, for when this became the norm, the Cinema Pocket will be 4k ;)

  4. I prefer stabilization over peaking any day but if i can have booth i will not get mad.

     

    Wish for the GX7 come with at least the 50mbit codec of the GH3 and some kind of stabilization like the OM-D would be a a hell of the camera if the sensor have at least the GH3 dynamic range, and if more? much better.

     

    I really like the rotating viewfinder, this is something i like from the Nex 5n EVF. Right now i'm considering the GH3 but i'm very tempting by the BMCPC, because i work mostly in video compositing and animation and the video from the Blackmagic is a bless for a nice chromakey work, but the GH3 still more versatile.

  5. Is good to see the improvements of the G6 over the G5, but i think the Nikon D5200 still a better option in that price range (body only).

     

    D5200 over G6:

    -Low light performance.

    -APSC sensor

    -24Mbit

    -Live Hdmi output

     

    G6 over the D5200:

    -Size

    -1080p @60fps

    -Video assists (Peaking, Zebras)

    -$50 cheaper

  6. Well, certainly I cannot say I like. The heat go up in your desktop at 10" i don't know. I'm a long time Mac Pro user but for me this is a Mac Mini Pro, but certainly i prefer this to a Imac.

     

    My two cents

     

    Pd: this afternoon i see a video at Engadget where some dude is showing the Mac Pro in a crystal cylinder, and some employed cross behind with two big chrome ashtrays and look keep looking the Endgadget guy, very ironic moment.

  7. That was fast!

    With a retail price close to $249 a new E-mount adapter with similar characteristics to the Metabones SpeedBooster has been announced by the Chinesse manufacter Mitakon, called the "Lens Turbo" is a dumb adapter without any electronic connection.

     

    Already working with Canon FD and Pentax lenses we hope for to come. Have a very similar reduction as the Metabones but till now we don't know how good the cristal of the lens will be.
