I sold my GH3 because it was too large in size for me. The pocket camera is an ideal camera for my needs as I want something I can take with me on my bike and head out and document my city

This is good in principle, but the pocket camera won't to take photos like your GH3... 

For what is worth, my source in B&H send me this info 

“Both of them are suppose to start to ship the last week of July out of the mfg to the dist. 

We hope to get some of them early August”

mfg = manufacturing

dist = distribuitor

It could maybe explain why they changed status, or maybe not ;)

Haha you beat me to it, for a second! 

A friend of mine got his Pocket Camera yesterday. He ordered it during NAB, shortly after the camrea was announced.
He also ordered the 4K Camera, but no sign of that one yet.

I very much doubt this information, either he hasn't received it yet or he preordered another camera MFT maybe?

It will be a real shame if they don't manage to ship in time, specially since they said the cameras were shipping for sure in July. hopefully it will only be a month or 2 of delay. The amount of people that had canceled 2.5k pre-orders, or even forgot about them is quite bad. A lot of people stopped caring a long time ago.

On a positive note, I've been collecting bmcc footage for quite some time now and the footage that comes out of this camera is truly amazing and can be very cinematic.

So this is what keeps me going, and makes me think the wait will be worth it. I am getting a pocket camera by the way, 1st in the queue ;)

Hi guys,

First post here so hello everyone, big fan of Andrews twitter feed, I also run the gallery website http://bmcc.tv

Super late for the party, but I guess better late than never! I was inspired by you guys to get in the hunt for S16 lenses for the bmpc. It's really is tough since you start loosing perspective in terms of prices. Some of the lenses you are not even sure they work, and you see yourself willing to spend £100-150 pounds on them! Great time to be a vintage lens dealer that's for sure!

Anyways, after lurking for days for the switar 10mm I put an order, but then changed my mind and got switar 16mm 1.8 for a quarter of the price. I also found this website which seems quite useful, since it mentions the bmpc

There I found a photo of a GH1 with the lens, it's somewhere on that first page:

I overlayed the crop you guys have here and it seems safe:

I didnt take the photos, but I am pretty sure this is correct? what do you guys think?

Best,
