  1. I think that's being unreasonable. For the buck, they are already giving WAY more than anyone else. I doubt that. They are happy offering ProRes or whatever else by the HDMI out. If Panasonic feels the heat (which nobody would really deny) they may reduce prices of their GH line. Other manufacturers may not really feel the pinch, because a lot of those don't really make the cut due to the 10-bit 4-2-2 mandate Netflix and other VoD and Broadcasters, and the limited recording times on those cameras are also a huge let down. I am guessing sales of the A7s series will be hit, because it too does good low light (much better), and it too has limited functionaliy as a photo shooting stills camera. Therefore, in essence, the BMPCCii has targetted the GH5 and GH5s' customers. Curiously having RAW via HDMI won't solve the problem. The Price Difference is too great.
  2. Hahaha. That campaign/ AD was pretty bad.
  3. They will Obviously avoid being seen using Panny lenses. After using the Same sensor as Panny and probably doing a better job with it, albeit at Half the Price. I am guessing that Grant using the strangely placed record button and pointing the camera towards himself to make a video would imply something. Maybe their autofocus has improved substantially. Maybe he didn't mention it cause the sensor obviously doesn't have PDAF, but it may have autofocus as good or bad as Panasonic (bad for continuous). I am also guessing that Blackmagic is planning to unveil some more interesting tricks with the BPCC ii, when they finally have it in the hands. Right now, this is enough to stir up the hornet's nest.
  4. Wow. You're a star. I wonder if Andrew woupd be so kind, as to award you the star of the day for today. ?
  5. Wow. I am curious though, why is it at 3840 x 2160 instead of 4096 x 2160? Nice image, and how did you get this one.
  6. Yes, true. One of the things that Sony said about the A7iii was that the new processing greatly improved heat dissipation (and I think they also said something about it affecting battery life).
  7. I wonder if any DSLR or Mirrorless has a 5inch screen? Why I am asking this, is because I am wondering if it would have been possible to have a Hinge on a 5inch screen with a non-metallic body (carbon composite), and also have a fully articulated screen that doesn't crash into all the wire when being rotated. They could have tried something on the lines of what Sony or the Panasonic GX85 has with a flip out to the front. But, like I mentioned, it was probably due to the unweildly size of that 5inch display and the fact that the body is Composite and Not Metal. This is probably the time for someone like Atomos to probably either make a Portable screen with very low lag, fed via the HDMI or USB-C. Or have a Screen with a Swivel Design or Articulated Stand, that allows it to twist 360 degrees.
  8. There is no information on brightness and some customers on B&H have mentioned issues of overheating. Price is good and the idea seems great. Maybe the implements needs a little working on.
  9. Hahaha. People are always complaining about too much dynamic range ??
  10. It has 4 flavours of DNG (including flavours of compressed RAW). I am comparing RAW with H.264. I am guessing that while many flavours of ProRes may require less processing power due to compressing at real time, in comparison to RAW, it may be different.
  11. Upto 100fps HD is non-windowed. Also, he (the guy in the video below) hints at a few other things being added by way of firmware. Which effectively means that we should wait until all the features are stated. This also shoots HLG (I read or heard somewhere), for anyone interested in lower dynamic range with lower bitrates. Btw, why do I feel that this is a 4096 x 2160 sensor (and Not 10+megapixel sensor). That's like 8.8MP compared to 10.something mega pixels on the GH5s. I hope someone makes a large battery accessory for this that is like a battery pack at the bottom (like on DSLRs), and which powers it via USB-C or the locking socket to add another 2-3 hours of juice. And also adds a flat SSD like on the new Atomos recorder.
  12. Unfortunately I am out of likes for today. But, yes, the AD Agency doing the work, obviously mistook it for a smartphone or GoPro, and planned the campaign for VLogging and action sports among other things. They probably wanted to position this as a camera for everyone. Btw I still didn't figure out why there is money flying around that biker in that scene with the camera.
  13. There is a certain charm in a small company shaking up the market. And Blackamagic seems to have done just that. I hope the big boys are forced to shave off atleast a few hundred dollars off their prices.
  14. I have to point out a few things: 1. A 5inch Screen is 2.5 Times the real estate of a 3inch screen. It will, therefore consume a lot more battery. 2. RAW requires a lot more processing power (I am guessing as does higher bitrate ProRes). For lower bitrates H.264 and other compressed codecs may require more processing power. 3. On the Blackmagic there is a power saving mode where the camera switches off when not in use. I guess if Blackmagic is able to use this feature well, then like Panasonic, it should be able to pull off a little juice out of it's LP-6 battery (to switch off the screen when it is not recording). You forgot to mention that the BPCC 4k has aa fan. What did you feel about that one. Was it audible?
  15. Actually wait a little more. Atmos is opening up the back for collaborations, which I am guessing may include wireless options, SDI via some extras (perhaps?), and other ways of adding to this. I think they should have articulated that a little better, perhaps?
  16. Yes. Everything is here: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/in/products/blackmagicpocketcinemacamera/techspecs/W-CIN-12
  17. It does 4k 60p. Has a less than 2x crop, and does 12bit RAW.
  18. It seems to have 3 Custon Buttoms in the Top Right part of the camera. Marked as '●' '●●' '●●●', with 'Functions' written immediately above that.
  19. Not that this will win some beauty awards, but it is nowhere as ugly as the initial renders. If you watch the pics on the Blackmagic site, it actually looks pretty nice. Must be the make-up and lighting.
  20. This one is super bright too @ 1000 nits. With an HDR screen for all that HDR shooting and multiple recording options (flavours of ProRes and RAW).
  21. My comment was deleted/ didn't post. Yes, usb-c charging and power cable being included is excellent. I will include it in the list. Thanks
  22. Plus the Entire Blackmagic Suite. Plus Mini XLR. And the 5inch screen. Plus 2 sound input options and 3 recording options. For the buck, nothing really comes close. Not even the Original Pocket Camera.
