Wow! Bet this will be a strong alternatives to say Veydra lenses?

Yeah, but he is wrong. Don't believe everything you read on the internet ;-)

I put online my long rambling pre-NAB thoughts, together with a couple of friends of mine:

Yeah after I made my comment I realised the name "Ninja" is what Atomos uses to refer to their HDMI only recorders :-/ So wouldn't work with 4K raw. Sad. :-/ Yes, they didn't launch the BMCC MFT until after the other BMCC ones were already announced and shipping for a while. Ha. But heh, everyone I suppose has different priorities, the EVF doesn't rate as high to me as for others.

No, some like BP-U30 are very small. Is what the Kinefinity Terra and Mavo bodies use.

Thanks for mentioning the EOSHD community in the Video!

They're not threads. They'e subforums Sony supports this, from the a5100 to the VENICE. Meanwhile, Panasonic fvcked this up with their EVA1 not having a MFT option.

Fantastic news!! This makes a FS700 much more attractive, as I too didn't want to use a 7" monitor with it. It was BMD's first ever MFT camera. I don't imagine they will do an inactive mount again, not now they have the experience of building active MFT mount cameras.

JVC has quite a large stand at NAB I too am hopefully JVC will release another MFT cinema camera. I believe this was a mistake by both BMD and Panasonic not to release a locking MFT mount with their cinema cameras. (Like Sony has done with their E mount, with the FS7mk2 and the new VENICE). Yup, the MFT mount was a *strength* of that camera, while its biggest negative was perhaps its name. Exactly why it was a mistake of Panasonic not to have an EVA1 MFT camera. As the EVA1 left nowhere to go for Panasonic's **own customers**!! Way to go Panasonic in neglecting your faithful followers. Meanwhile with Sony you could buy a lenses for your a5100 and keep on using it all the way up to the VENICE!!

No, as it could be the 4.6K sensor at the heart of it, but a cut of it. A 4K sized cut of it.

Well with the Micro (which has the same sensor) they didn't repeat it with the same teeny battery, so I doubt they'll stick with the old BMPCC battery. A new one will surely be chosen. (fingers crossed for NP-F or BP-U!)

Hopefully it doesn't have the Micro Studio sensor. But BMD might think now that they've had the firmware update which boosts DR 2 stops and gives base ISO a raise from 400 to 800 that this is sufficient for BMPCC Generation 2.0?! Hope not.

I can't imagine the BMPC4K being crammed into anything which could be described as "pocket"?! It would surprise me. But yes, I also hope not!

Astonishingly they'e still selling secondhand for more than that! Hopefully the new BMPCC4K will push down hard prices of the secondhand original BMPCC

Cinema lenses are ultra expensive for many more reasons than just doing a focus pull

I use my BMPCC now as a vlog camera, a flip up screen would be a bigger upgrade for me than 4K!

BMD has taken to heart the criticism and seems keen to ship cameras immediately now or at least in a timely manner Then again they might regress to old form.... so anything is possible!

I would rate the KineMount over a MFT mount. (Btw Kinefinity is a member of the Micro Four Thirds group)

I've suggested a few times that a 4K cut of the 4.6K sensor in a MFT mount would be a big hit. This is after all what the BMPCC was, a 1080 cut of the 2.5K sensor of the BMCC

False.

"Full frame" is a nonsense size popularized by the Canikon marketing duopoly. Full frame really just means a match between sensor size and image circle the lenses are designed for. In the movie world, S35 is the "standard size" (or S16 in the indie/doco/news worlds). Thus compared to that the MAVO LF is indeed "large format". In the film stills world you had 135 film (also referred to as 35mm film) or medium format as the two main standard sizes that people used. So what is regarded as "large format" depends on what you're referring to as your reference starting point.

Maybe if you look at this way: the FS7 is a mini F5/F55 at a lower price (and the FS5 is a mini FS7).

Friends and family must love you!

Yes. I saw it on Instagram. A new design from what Rode has shown before (Thankfully not the camera mounted version!). Well studio sound or post production is quite different to production sound recording. But still yeah, BMD has a few strands there they could pull together into a sound recorder. They're closer to it than when they pulled a camera out of the hat! That was a surprise.

Kudos on answering it well, as too many times I see people demanding a global shutter without really understanding any serious practical benefits of it other than some marginal gains. Even so, I don't think it is that important, no client is going to pay you more for having a camera with a global shutter or care. (and those rare times it might happen, you could always rent a F55 or whatever)
