I read somewhere about June.
Indeed. Hope Vlogging may push the boundaries, as matter of fact. Funny to write it but that's the way it is. Media convergence times advantage, I believe :-)

120fps @4K [Z cam E2]
To stand corrected there : )
AF will be limited on BMPCC 4K as far as we can guess. Useful comparison table anyway :-)

Nice evaluation by a professional colorist on reduser on those images posted here at first hand:

I came "this close" to buying a second 2010 Sony PMW-F3 this week. 

Tried v15 Beta 1. 
Here are my initial impressions:
It's very simple and fast to add titles. There are many predefined 3D templates. More templates will come for sure.
LUT Browser is awesome if you use LUTs and want to try different color grades
Improved speed and interface. 
Improved noise reduction. In v14 noise reduction was good enough for me. V15 is even better.
Very easy to remove objects and/or spots / blemishes on the footage
Whole workflow is well thought and using all the tools is easy and quite intuitive.
Bottom line: It's my only video editing software now. Has everything I need and like it a lot. Well done Blackmagic.

That looks a bit different and out of the box but confortable so does this and would handle the BMMPC4K just perfectly even with big lenses.

Sensitive Topic. This can blow up. Especially when, ahem, little children are involved.

Why is everyone comparing this to the GH5?  It has the same sensor as the GH5s.  That is it’s direct competition 

OMG I am!!! I started cutting in Resolve a few months ago and I am never going back! Honestly, just the way the grading and speed ramping works, it saved me 1/3 of my time not to mention the file conforming. I am going to give 15 a shot soon too. Honestly, BRAVO Blackmagic. Your team is amazing!

I am!
I've said before that I try to capture in a relatively neutral style and then I put in the work in post, and Resolve is my all-in-one.
I'm excited by Fusion, more specifically for the stabilisation and the 3D titles.  I'm really hoping that I can get better stabilisation than the Classic Stabiliser in v14, as sometimes I film in difficult situations and I need more stabilisation than Resolve currently supplies.  The 3D titles will be cool, but I'm more hoping that combined with the tracker I'll be able to add 3D items into the 3D space I've filmed.
I watched the 20 minute video from BM about Fusion and got lost about a third of the way through.  It's like Resolve is a house and each tab is a doorway through to an array of controls that each rival the space shuttle!

Sometimes I wonder if a few posters ever shot anything, really... Sorry to be sincere... :-)
You can always smooth practically anything, except a considerable weak acquisition codec at low bit rate as for instance or under certain severe artifacts such as aliasing or moiré or yet from insufficient color sampling (not exactly the case there for 95%-98% of the circumstances), going along dedicated craft and proper skills on both capture and post.

Jesus we get you are not going to buy the God Damn thing. Give it a rest!

While far from the original pocket size, compared to any professional video cameras that shoot 4K Raw the new pocket could be considered pocketable. Or at least it can fit in a normal camera bag 
I am quite glad for the increased size compared to the original pocket actually. Proper heat sink, better battery, larger screen, better microphones, dual card slots and plenty of ports. 

Exactly. 

And also because it is a Mark II product I expect it will ship with less teething issues than some past BMD products have had. 

I compared the 10bit ALL-I on the GH5 with external 10 bit ProresHQ at 400% on a 4K monitor, and the Panasonic codec looked better with finer detail, nicer grain pattern. The prores looked blocky at 400%. 
I think modern compressed codecs are more sophisticated than Prores and much smaller file size 

Still on topic... This is a Mark II product. From a well-known camera manufacturer and Resolve provider, amongst other goodies.
Far away to be any introductory technology based on crowdfunding. Well, unless we have to call the mainstream RED the same... ;-)

I agree, but I also believe that the GH5/S caused a lot of discomfort to them already, the Pocket and the rest, are just the nails in the "coffin". Of course their large (huge) user bases (and lenses sold) give them some time to react, but the industry is pushing for innovation, and GH5 was the first - very important - modern release.

Interesting for sure, and H.265 main 10 profile. For most people that is more useful than raw and whatnot, if it wasn't for the Pocket, that would be the most amazing camera release this year, but after the pocket, everything changed(and can record prores LT for lesser projects)!
I am wondering, what are the big Japanese corporates are thinking after these couple of days?

Age is so relative, Don... You have more than some other people over other age groups, my friend. You have the years of your experience we all have to be grateful learning with your insights, listening your thoughts when you give your readers such honor, which is hardly quantified at all : ) Lucky us :-)
 

Indeed : ) Not even a tilt screen à la Sony to say the least.
Perhaps an accessory like this one might be of some help on that one for the 5-inch screen size, obviously -- not available for this offer though:

I recall about a few other ones on ebay I can't find anymore now. Here's a good tip a 3rd party may take in hands as easy as it apparently seems at least.

I won't jump ships if Panasonic would at least offer an option to disable both (at least in V-log and HLG).
Tired of all the filtering and diffusion I have to do to hide the artifacts and thinness caused by it. 

If they'll do I would probably just invest into the new Atomos Ninja V instead.

I made a comparison of sensor sizes of BMPCC 4K, BMPCC, GH5s, Full Frame.
