Arguably better.... the FS5 doesn't do 4K 10bit internal.

He was meaning they could already film with it in the lab, but they can't take it outdoors into the open to film with because it is an unannounced camera!!! Of course now everyone knows about it, they're quite free to take it out into public to have a play around with filming with the BMPCC4K rather than staying confined to the insides of a lab.

Well in the interview I remembered watching he said "by us" or similar words to that effect.

Looks fine to me! The camera isn't the one which is on camera, model level good looks are not needed! The BMPCC4K is not S16, it is an "oversized" MFT sensor.

They meant never used by any other camera from BMD. Not that it never been used by anyone ever before.

Been reading around comments elsewhere. And found it strange how some people are saying USB-C drives are "expensive". Yes, please tell me more about how a 128gig drive which costs less than forty bucks is "almost as expensive as a CFast card"! https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-128GB-Type-C-SDDDC2-128G-G46/dp/B01EZ0X55C/ And heck, if you're just doing a basic shot on a tripod that is running for ages (say a locked off shot at an event) you could get a FOUR TERABYTE harddrive for less than US$170: https://www.amazon.com/G-Technology-G-DRIVE-USB-C-External-0G05666/dp/B06ZY3N7QC/ This is indeed a major feature by BMD! I remember when I first purchased my original BMPCC I had to spend a small fortune on fast enough and big enough SD cards. Ditto SSD prices when the BMCC first launched, or CFast prices when the big URSA first launched.

Isn't S16 in the new BMPCC4K, so "same" as Terra4K/GH5S/ZCamE2

Wellllll..... heh, I never thought the MixPres were quite as appealing for value for money as the F4/F8 anyway. So this doesn't change that, it just further extends Zoom value for money dominance in the low end.

A Zoom rep is here in this video talking about the Zoom F8n, a "sneak peak": The recorder is still a few months away ("July"), and details are not yet concrete (price is looking to be twelve hundred dollars). But some specs we can expect: Updated GUI Selectable line/mic input New battery slot Look ahead limiters Better headphone Amp! Improved voltage range for Hirose inputs Anticipated July delivery with pricing around US$1200

Exactly.

I'd assume it would be.

Well the BMPCC was a "cinema camera", thus external power/audio/screen is essential if you want high quality. Just like if you used an Arri / RED / etc! I don't get why people didn't get this. Instead expecting something completely different. However it appears BMD really took this criticism to heat, and have greatly improved the audio and internal battery life. However the audio in even the original BMPCC isn't that awful if just for casual usage, a lot of my vlog videos are audio straight into the BMPCC with no editing. https://www.youtube.com/c/SoundSpeeding

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/api/print/ca/products/blackmagicpocketcinemacamera/techspecs/W-CIN-12?filename=blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-4k-techspecs.pdf Stoked that the BMPCC4K is going to support timecode input on the 3.5mm just like the BMD Micro Cinema Camera also does. This would be the third MFT camera with TC input supported! http://ironfilm.co.nz/leaked-the-specs-of-the-panasonic-gh5s-finally-we-get-the-first-stills-camera-with-timecode-i-o/

Well the Kinefinity Terra 4K / GH5S / BMPCC4K are suspected to share the same sensor. Then it is up to the camera manufacturer as to who gets the most out of it.

I'm seeing online people sell their URSA Minis and GH5/GH5S for a BMPCC4K instead. It is happening! Bit premature though as won't ship until September

This was true at launch for each. As a5100 had XAVCS and a6000 didn't But later the a6000 got a firmware update for XAVCS Oh and btw just like many Sony mirorless the a5100 overheats easily. Just get a cheap G7 (or Maybe G80 for the IBIS) while you wait for a BMPCC4K. Once you consider the license price of Resolve, it is the same price as the original BMPCC!

Well Sony has been pushing specs hard for a long while, maybe not a bad thing if they ease up and instead push down on prices and focus on ergonomics/colors.

Yup, at that point a GH5S starts to become more compelling The image source says otherwise.

Like this? No pocket carrying with this one! But if it means great functionality/horsepower, then it is worth it

That is what Simon thinks now!

Yeah if the FS5mk2 doesn't get 4K 10bit then I rate at near 0% chance that an a7Smk3 released this year will have 10bit internal.

Looks great!
