Some of the softness is due to the warp stabilizer cropping and some of it is simply me being on the run and not doing a good job.  I didn't go to New York to film this, so I actually used minimal time on it. Just pointed the camera and shot, every time I saw something exciting.  This movie is as much a test to see how cinematic you can get with the minimal handheld setup and the 'plain tourist run&gun mentality'.     I think the pocket finds it place very well in between DSLR h.264 and raw. For a run&gun setup raw takes up a lot of space, and there is no middle-ground codec for DSLR's that allow you to compress the files in camera while keeping the dynamic range of raw.  I will definately use the BMPCC for run&gunning and other shoots where space and practicality wins over sheer image quality.  Yes there are some flaws, but we've been working around h.264's awesome compression artifacts for a long time, so this should be peace of cake to deal with!

Another video to look at here. I didn't come across many problems while filming. The dark spots turn up when the image is way beyond blown out (like 150% if 100% is blown out).    What do you think about the blooming here?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XzzrsH1okM

I got mine in Denmark on August 16th. The Danish store got a shipment of two cameras, where one was used as a demo model. I was lucky enough to get the second.  Made a little test here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XzzrsH1okM
