worked on mine... and now I'm going to buy it, after spending 5 minutes with it... it's brilliant! I gotta say if this wasn't a ploy to drive up sales it should've been!! 

yeah, moire at 1:10 - and FPN at 2:11, right?
but does look pretty great

thanks for your advice, all of it...  I will be shooting with this for a long time... the only other tech I want really is a couple of quirky lenses and a new tripod...

The whole LUTs thing has really opened my eyes to a lot of potential for music videos, etc., and yes, music GREATLY informs how I edit, etc.

Here's a little thing I did today with my daughter:

Obviously it's not anything, but a little bit of footage for me to play with, but it still looks amazing... for just 5 mins of work. 

and look after your dog, it's meant to live in the alps I think!

For sure! More food for thought:

The correct answer is:
A, Digital Bolex, B, BMPCC

Well, how could it?  It's like what, 5.5 Megapixel in APS-C crop mode?  Not enough resolution left for 4k in this mode.

So after a few days, and shooting a few dozen photos, and a handful of videos, I have to say I'm pretty blown away... it definitely feels a lot more "modern" than the Nikon, whether or not that's good in personal taste, but I dig it... it's not exactly intuitive, especially how the menus are so context sensitive, but that's just getting used to it... the 4K is AMAZING! But wow, the file sizes eh? 

Overall, couldn't be happier! Thanks again everyone!

Neither announcement was "shocking." As usual SAR clickbait.

The Doc Searching for SugarMan (2012) used all sorts of different camera footage - he ran out of money & had to resort to using his iPhone (not one of the new ones, but one circa 2010/11) to film a portion of it.
So might be worth doing some research on what cameras they used & the tricks they employed to mix'n'match different quality footage. The one thing I do know about the iPhone footage, was that he used an App that simulated s16mm style footage. Must be lots of tricks out there...

I think the secret is sending off to cineon then to a film print stock via visioncolor impulz - and it makes it more interesting - to raise the blacks slightly on the film print.
Anyway let me know what you think - it's interesting to try to bend the ftg to make it feel older.  
 

Announced this week at IBC. 
Good for NX1 users..

No major issues so far, and I can still switch back to the former mount without too many manipulations. However the flange distance (I think its how its called) is quite short, so we cant fit our Leica 35mm. 
We're not done experimenting though : )

any issues with the new mount? that's pretty impressive @neosushi. infinity is still infinity, etc?

Man, I'll never be able to make my Magnum opus if I keep having to wait for these new cameras to come out.

I'm noticing a pattern. 

But I diiiiiiidnnnn't  no, the depth of field and focal length seem to show it can't be a smart phone. Not to step on toes, I figure this can be a bit of a discussion

that's impossible

BREAKING NEWS!

I actually just bought the GH4 and the Lumix 12-35 f2.8 

I think I'll also buy a BMPCC in the next few months, now that I know I can share lenses between them! That is a wonderful revelation, brought on by my own stupidity!

As for the Nikon, well - frankly I wasn't hugely in love with it.. it was definitely a workhorse and got me a lot more work, but want 4K and want to have the same lenses as the BMPCC without buying an expensive adapter... I know I'll end up buy an adapter in the future, but... I can wait!

I just watched that video you made and it's GREAT! I really can't wait to start using log and grading properly. Totally inspiring!

Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate all the help, and dealing with my stupid!

I will try and come by more often and maybe next time I can help out the idiot  

I just went and looked at Ed David's stuff... wow!

Man, you should see the crap I do to pay the bills that I never show anyone. 
Besides, I look at stuff like what Ed David does and think...why am I even pretending.  
I came to terms with the fact that there's always going to be people out there so much better at this than me.  That's okay and as it should be.

You can always build up small camera with a cheap eBay rig and matte box if you want it to look more "serious." 
Also, I'm typing on my phone right now, so I'll keep this brief: the BMPCC is a very, very easy to use and grade. DaVinci Resolve 12 is free, and can handle RAW and ProRes without a sweat. Worst case, if you want a usable starting point, all you have to do is right click each clip and apply the BMD Film to Rec709 LUT, and boom--usable footage. I actually have a much easier time lighting, exposing, and grading BM footage compared to other cameras because of their huge DR and super robust codecs.
The camera also requires a lot less accessories than people pretend. Realistically, you need a couple big SD cards ($100-200), a pile of batteries or external solution ($60-$120), and a lens. That's it. The other stuff can be nice, but it's by no means necessary.
I'm a beginner as well (film school), and I'm finding the Blackmagic to be a powerful and straightforward tool to work and learn with. If you want more information, I highly  recommend checking out Mattias Burling's and Drew Network's YouTube series. Both are extremely informative and do a lot to reduce the camera's intimidation factor. You can also feel free to message me. I'd be happy to answer any questions and even run tests, if I can find time.

if budget and lenses are still a slight concern with the gh4, the g7, or lx100 even, have been proven to have really great images. might feel restricted slightly on the telephoto end with the lx100, but the focal lengths you have, it would appear (and according to Andrew Reid), are like having a set of primes.
you definitely don't have to get obsessed with videography, but having a camera of your own to fiddle with and googling/asking when you're confused, you'll be fine. especially if you're already getting a lot of good feedback and people wanting you.
also, if you ever want to make films, liking films really is good enough to go on.

yes I do like color and flair a lot - especially to harken to older run down boxing films and b movies.
The directors had a pretty good game plan on this one - they had their shot ideas - I think they had the flare idea.  We had to not use any lights too which made us able to move super fast - but in terms of scouting - none of it - we just show up and shoot - and it was just me with probably an easy rig and what I like is I shot a lot of movement on the 100mm lens - I wasn't scared there of moving with a long lens and it pays off.  
the bridge stuff we shot on a tandem bike.
And Heather from being with her for the day she loves her son - she really does - but there is more to inspire to for many people than to just produce offspring.  Like, well I assume most of the people on here are filmmakers who want to go down in history as at least having made some sort of film or piece of art, in addition to everything else.  So why not give her canvass the boxing ring?  Danger be darned.
