USB interface so can take a regular CF/SD/MicroSD reader as well.
CFast and SSD is USB3 interface so it will be fast enough to dump the card before you fill the next one.
Power will be USB so capacity is variable.
I already have this done for SD backups but it will need porting to different hardware to support the extra grunt needed for fast transfer of CFast 

the same exact lens can be purchased now for.... $835 ?:

from the serial number difference it doesn't even seem that rare..

Maybe this would help??

I could have bet the language (wording of sentences) creates a strange sense of deja vu. Almost like former ads for equipment from someone familiar.
I wonder if he will ever be punished for his crimes.
I am Sure one can file a Cyber Crime complaint in Eqypt from wherever one is, regardless of jurisdiction. That should be One less criminal in the world. 

So I went to check out the S9 expecting it to be the boring reheat of the S8 that it seems like on paper.
Maybe I have been a bit harsh on them!
There are considerable evolutions across the board. Video is 4K 60P and much nicer than the S8. MUCH.
I've compared the headphone jack to my Burr Brown stuff and tube amps - it stands up. What's more, Adapt Sound now allows you to save profiles for individual headphones, which it tunes to your ears. Hifiman HE100 sound wonderful on the smartphone, as good as a high-end portable DAC like the Chord Mojo (which I also benchmarked it against in an A/B).
They have solved the slow loading of RAW DNG files in the gallery. It's slick. These can be edited within 2 seconds of a press on Advanced Edit. It used to take over 10 seconds to load a single raw photo in Polarr, my main mobile editing app. The raw files allow you to turn off the typical smartphone over processing and get fine grain, better grading.
The camera app now defaults to Pro mode if you left off in that mode the first time, it no longer defaults back to auto, which doesn't save JPG+RAW. This makes a big difference to usability.
I am comparing it in this instance to the P20 Pro, with it's ridiculously nice 40MP raw.... Will do a review.
Performance seems snappier and slicker than S8 with less background apps and bloatware, plus new CPU makes a difference.
The speakers are hands-down the most full-bodied I have ever heard from a smartphone, with twice the dynamic range of what I've previously experienced from iPhone X and P20 Pro. YouTube Premium plays music clips in the background on the phone, with it's latest Android OS... That's a nice touch. You can use it like Spotify. Tidal works well on the phone in MQA mode, to get the most out of that new DAC and headphone socket.
So it's not a case of iPhone 6S vs 7... There is actually a bigger difference under the surface than expected.

I attended a Black Magic event today and got to play around with the BMPCC4k for a while (maybe 30 mins or so).
I cannot discuss all my observations for fear of causing unnecessary panic, but I will state a few things I noticed. 
1. The autofocus is not the best, but with the M43 lens advantage, and focus peaking  things should be fine.
2. A lot of firmware features were disabled and flavours of ProRes were limited along with recording capabilities, to prevent people from sharing random non final firmware footage.
3. The on-board fans for the camera were not only absolutely silent, they were also unnoticeable (I put my finger over the vents and noticed almost nothing).
4. The Windowed HD is a substantial crop. So Metabones may make a BMPCC4k specific adaptor (which would be essential IMHO).
5. Low Light seems decent. I would like to compare the GH5s with it, though the Black Magic doesn't seem to have any noise reduction, and so at higher ISOs, noise seemed visible (as was the high level of detail in the image). I think once a few units reach reviewers, I would love to see this reviewed for low light, among other things.
6. I found it to be heavy with cinema lenses. But I guess this may have been due to the lenses more than the body. Also after the composite, it should shave off at least 100gms off the weight. 
7. Very impressive ergonomics. Especially the wheels the grip.
After Panasonic's IBIS + OIS we're literally spoit if anything doesn't offer anything like that (Canon cameras?), it's a little disappointing (I know stabilizers are good enough).
I feel Blackmagic is working with a lot of accessory makers. I hope they get a battery grip with atleast 3 hours of juice. 
If Panasonic tweaks the VLog, I am sure they can easily get atleast another Stop of Dynamic Range out of the cameras (if not more).
I realised that M43 is in need of a very fast zoom lens with a decent Range (f2 12-36mm). They could make it fat or large, who really cares. And it must have good OIS (for cameras that don't have IBIS).

Thanks for the update!!
The way I view this camera is for high quality in relatively controlled conditions - so the lack of features like fast AF and NR seems appropriate.  Pulling focus manually is the norm for a cinema camera, and the lack of NR is actually an advantage I think because you can de-noise carefully in post, using the Resolve spatial and temporal NR features or plugins, for the best possible result.
The substantial crop in windowed 1080 is encouraging, as for those capturing in 1080 it gives a good extension to their existing lens collection.
The more I hear about this camera the more I think that BM is going to absolutely nail it for the low budget film-maker.  Bring on the Pocket2 vs ARRI youtube clips!

I am guessing that there may be a slight delay, though nowhere near the 1-1.5 years the original pocket cinema camera. It could be a few weeks if not days. They already seemed to have tested it, but think the footage is still be tweaked even further. Also, they want to push the sensor to the max, within the limitations of the processor.
Every organisation has a common attitude, that trickles down from the top. Grant Petty seems to know what he wants, and he isn't in a rat race. He actually doesn't care at all for the rats, and that's why the profit margins are smaller, and Black Magic doesn't have inflated advertising costs and no unnecessary freebies for anyone. Also, Grant doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry to be a billionaire, with all the hyperbole advertising and specs (ala 'Cinemartin Fran 8K', or 4k at 480fps blah blah blah), endemic to the industry. Blackmagic has had its set of firmware and feature hiccups. But for the price, I doubt anyone comes close.
In many ways he and blackmagic design embody the true meaning of 'disruptive' without the glorified presstitute fanfare.

Here's a link to an article about Grant Petty.
https://www.smartcompany.com.au/entrepreneurs/influencers-profiles/blackmagic-design-founder-grant-petty-on-how-a-burning-revelation-led-him-to-create-his-300-million-video-technology-company/
I have much respect for the way he and his company does not over charge, even though they could charge more if they wanted too.  In particular, the updates to Black Magic's Resolve Studio have been free of charge over the years and now they are basically throwing it in with the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.  Yes, I would pay $1295 for the Pocket Cinema Camera 4k without Resolve Studio..
If it takes a few days, weeks, or months past the end of September to ship the Pocket Cinema Camera 4k,  I will still be extremely happy with Black Magic, once I have my Pocket Cinema Camera 4k in my hands.  IMHO, it will be more than worth the wait.

Just a guess. But as it is a 'Hasselblad' camera there is a fair chance it will come with a 'leaf shutter'

11.8 stops according to DJI  12.8 for X5S

Yes, I saw that but dont forget that DJI is now the majority of owner of Hasselblad, so some tie up was inevitable.

I've got no issue with lashing together a battery solution and there are enough CFast to SSD converter options out there now to sort that out fairly inexpensively.
I'm going to swap pre-orders with a mate of mine where I have it for the first two weeks so I can test it with my controller and then hand it over and take his place in line to give me some pause to see how it shakes out but also what happens at Fotokina.
I've obviously got a big investment in Nikon glass for work so I need to see what if anything they come up with in Cologne and how soon it will be available.
I don't necessarily think its nailed on that they are going to have a load of issues but I'm way too far behind with all my other projects to get involved in the hand wringing and witch hunts about them if there are
