Thats good to hear, I read BM were fixing the issue vis firmware anyway! My buttons are very responsive I don't have my regular to compare side by side but they seem to be unchanged for me.

I’ll have to test this later and let you know, seems like we have beta firmware till the one grant announced.. so could be related to that?

Yeah a lot of people on the BM forums have the same issue. I was just going to add +300k correction to my LUTs so is not a huge deal but it will be great to have a fix. I’m also not used to such a bright screen I often accidentally overexposed about a stop on the regular pockets, with the Pro (and gen5) I find exposing using the monitor more accurate.

Sorry to spam the thread... had the camera for a few days now here’s some initial thoughts and tests. ND filters are great (obviously) haven’t noticed any IR pollution or colour shifts when using them yet. The biggest upgrade is the brightness of the monitor, totally usable on sunny days. I will say a lot of people have been reporting that there monitors have a blue tint and I can confirm that mine is about 300k cold. BM informed CVP that is a firmware update coming to fix this. There is another firmware bug where it is impossible to import or delete LUts Battery life is improved I

Actually they are just in stock everywhere in the UK now lol

Update: dispatched today arriving Monday... really wish I opted for Saturday delivery lol

Let me know how those Patona batteries work out for you. Ive get a couple of Baxxtar and was considering either the BM or the Hawkwoods 590s

Turns out they will be getting it in tomorrow instead so (in theory) it should be getting to me between Friday and Monday!

Speaking of the camera getting here CVP here in the UK called me saying they are getting my unit in today.

John Brawley just posted on Facebook with a video that he’s getting 72mins out of the included battery, that’s not bad at all. (Screen on 100%)

Personally it doesn't change the way I hold the camera and sometimes the metal covers the grip making it uncomfortable. If you prefer to use a top handle though go for it!

no problem I hope this is easier to understand! 'I don't like to use cages unless I need to add something to the camera, a monitor for example.

My advice would be to wait until you know what to add on to your camera. best to keep it lightweight and simple until you have accessories you need to add. Ive always found cages get in the way a bit unless you need to build things onto the camera!

Looks like a cool camera but Sony have sooooo many series of Alpha cameras now it’s really hard to keep up!

Yeah thinking about it the P6K is S35 so 18mm works out to be a similar fov as a 28mm on the 5d! Yeah I think i've been watching too much Chivo (if thats possible) his films really changed my perspective to what looks 'normal' and 'natural' to me. Im going to hold of and use the 18-35 until it gets to the point where I really get the itch for something smaller or wider for now, but I think you are right wider is going to be better for me! Thought this was a fantastic way to market a camera. I think it would be cool to use the loupe and the base grip for a super8 styl
