Just like you’re saying that it is possible ? 
How do you know ?
The pocket 4k, like every Blackmagic camera uses a custom thermoelectric cooling system.  The only other camera platform that uses this approach is made by Arri. 
In fact this means it draws more power in hotter weather and less power in colder weather. It’s got a larger screen and has custom made hardware boards made internally by BMD themselves. They make the boards. The place the components. They don’t outsource. 
I beleive they tend to use FPGAs because they’re faster to prototype and totally re-program, but they use more power than ASICs which is what the big guys tend to use. ASICS use less power but are limited to their original design / specs and take longer to develop. 
They draw more power than consumer cameras that are more purpose built and have longer development cycles, therefore have more time to optimise their power consumption . 
Feel free to keep droning on about it and reminding everyone how bad it is but it’s not going to change the fact that they use more power than other consumer cameras.

It’s an automatic process. Just like you can’t do it on Alexa.

You can't expect this camera, with it's advanced color science, codecs, 5" 1080 screen, phantom power, etc. to draw power like a GH5 or any other small camera.
For all that it's delivering, I would consider an average 45min run time on an LP-E6 to be great power management on BMs part.
I really don't get the contention. This is going to be a breakthrough camera by any standard. It's designed to be small with a compact battery solution that most people will use.
Even running around in the field with a battery in the camera and 4 tiny replacements in your pocket you can shoot all day.
If you do events or long format work with it, then there will be countless battery solutions to add if you feel the need.
It's all good.

LP-E6 canon battery is almost the same size as Panasonic batteries, but not sure if it has the same juice.  

Blackmagic cameras use FGPA which is a less optimized board compared to an ASIC and requires more power.  It has an advantage of shorter production cycles especially in lower volume cameras because you can easily make last-minute adjustments if you want to add more features.  ASICs is very locked in as they are expensive to manufacture.
They use solid state peltier cooling to handle the heat distribution and that uses a lot of power.  I don't know if other cameras use that but it does make a difference.
I don't think type of compression plays a big part in heat, it's mainly the sensor.
 
 
Blackmagic is not very experienced in building DSLR form-factor cameras yet, in what is only their second attempt they produced a camera at half the price of the GH5s that will likely be a serious rival in image quality.  I think Blackmagic made the right compromises to get it at the price it is.

Hope that massive screen area is not wasted by massive bezels. 

So from latest rumor, as I predicted it has a much bigger screen that traditional cameras. It would be at least 4 inch or even bigger which bodes well for video and touch screen use. Since they showed the first video and that it was obvious it had that gigantic mount, I knew they were going completely out of the box.

He’s one of the main and lead members of the camera development team.  He is especially responsible for Gen 4, now available in the beta of Resolve.

Exactly my point. Depending on the terms used, you can easily skew results.
I'm a mid-level marketing nobody, I've written many reports using this kind of information to paint a picture that makes my subject look good and the competition look bad based on search terms, but its not very useful by itself since '5d video' absolutely crushes everything else, despite what some may say.

Search trends don't equal sales. Its one metric that factors into the marketing mix, but its not absolute, and like many simple statistics, drawing conclusions based on it places too much weight on one small component without looking at the big picture. But it must get clicks, there was a post about this on SAR a few days ago, which was a lot of fanboy nonsense.
This article connects a few dots that aren't really there. Of course over time search interest in a consumer product 2-years after its release is going to decline. But it still compares favorably to the a7III which has only been out a few months and the d850 with came out a year later. Despite a DSLR heavy lineup, we've seen market share reports showing CaNikon owning 3/4 of the camera market. 
I went worldwide instead of just in the US. And just to demonstrate how irrelevant these numbers can be, I threw in Leica and Pentax.
 

I picked up a few weeks ago a Tungsten Fresnel 2K for only NZ$50!! (US$34)
Used it on one shoot a couple of weeks ago. 

That was the name of the 48HOURS team I was in!

Nikon apparently have though....
Probably an internal name for it rather than the actual name.
 

Errr... still missing the point I think? As what I'm saying has nothing to do with how fast the flashes cycle (heck, they could take 10 minutes to recharge for the next flash for all I care, it doesn't impact my point. )

But in your case, you want opposite and them to fire potentially dozens of times a second, and perfectly (so a timecode box with genlock attached to the flashes?? :-o ) in sync with the camera shutter??

Yeah, nah. We know how bad it is for the subject being blinded by flashes a few times in a row, could you imagine doing that many times a second for minutes at a time? Quick path to becoming the most hated photographer in town!
 
It means something IF someone pays that much for it. 

As then the market is created with a seller and a buyer. 
Exactly. I find it hilarious when people say still lenses are not good enough to resolve 4K detail. 
 
Wow! 

Yeah, someone lower level like him won't be touching a super early release model but something very similar to the actual production model itself. So the official launch can not be too many weeks away. 
Edit:

Well well well, from NR:


 

NR busy busy busy busy!!! Breaking records for sure.

This is what a DoP commented over on the DVXuser thread:

 
 

That is why now I spend the least possible on my phones! My  "fancy" phone now is a secondhand Samsung S7 Active 

They should make a waterproof version  

4/3 Rumors is reporting that the LX100 mk II will be announced on August 23.

No specs yet, but fingers crossed! 

That was the name of the 48HOURS team I was in!

I'm pretty sure %99 of Nikon lenses out there outresolve 8 megapixel ?

Get yourself a F8n with a Sanken CS3e and Schoeps CMC6/mk41! 

Jon, thanks for mentioning these. I’ve spent so many years in search of cameras and lenses, in the near future I’m going to shift my focus and wallet towards lighting and audio.
Although the Fotodiox versions are a little pricey (did they invent flapjacks?) they seem so well built and get really good reviews.
I think I’m going to pick up the 5x8 or 7” on camera light in the coming months and if I’m as pleased with it as I suspect I’ll be, I may pick up one or two of the studio lights next year.

Sorry unless you want all your photo to have motion blur it is far from that easy. What about flash, are you going to carry something like a 300-1000 watt led light with batteries etc when you can have just a speed-light or two. Another misconception about photography, when you have to edit for example a wedding, you have to watch every shot then decide if it is good or bad then cut it t remove unwanted part etc. This is already tedious, not doing it at 24,25 or 30 fps, but one frame at a time, good luck with that.

I just placed my order as well. 
Actually, it cost me nearly twice ish as much though! Because I couldn't resist picking up a few other things as well.....
