Well I am telling you it IS going to happen. Not next week but it will. People, Including me if I had the Studio would be pissed to Pay for it again. It is not right. You are being in a sense double charged. Forced to buy a product you did not want. Hell it may even be illegal to Make you buy it.
It would be nice to have the option to exclude it, but at the price I don't really care. If the camera were 2,000 with resolve then I might be a little more upset.

He says it right. It has a Mag Chassis. You do Not hold the chassis, you hold the body over it. The Body covers the Chassis. Not the other way around. The outside is Plastic. The Body. Your body has skin over a skeleton. The Chassis is the skeleton of the camera. Simple as that. Hard the hell hard is that.
Correct, we all agree on this. However, that has nothing to do with anything. My previous post outlines this distinction.

You do not understand - you are paying for Resolve. It is not free, but added to the price of the camera. By the time this camera comes out Vegas may very well work with all the codecs. And if it doesn't you can buy Resolve Studio. But now you must pay for it, whether it is "necessary" or not.
By this logic you are saying that Blackmagic should sell the camera for $1000?

The camera does not work without the Resolve Studio. The free version cannot handle all the resolutions. I don't know how many times this needs to be repeated.
If they sold it without Resolve Studio there would be a bunch of people screaming they got ripped off because the free version of Resolve doesn't work with the BMPCC 4k's high resolution footage.
Seriously guys. Quit complaining. Sell your Resolve dongle on ebay for $200 and move on. This is nothing like a cable company charging you $80 in perpetuity.
Companies have to do what will cause the least amount of post purchase anger. If they sold it with the free version of Resolve they would be excoriated.
Plus this low price and bundle may be a way of boosting the amount of full versions of Resolve out there. They may be making a profit on the BMPCC 4k but they may also be using it as a vehicle to get wider acceptance of Resolve as a complete editing and color suite. I believe the original pocket was their best selling camera ever. Piggybacking some software sales on to that seems like a smart marketing strategy.

In this case, there are other editors that can or will work with the video from the new camera (duh, you think other software companies do not want people to use their software with the new camera?), and we should have the choice of what editor we want. Note, again, I have Resolve Studio - so this is not anti the software. But, I and all others that bought the software already lose from this practice. And those who do not want to use Resolve also lose. Who wins? BM. The only thing you have right is that they are trying to boost sales of Resolve, at the expense of consumer welfare.
I highly doubt that people would be "screaming they got ripped off." It costs Blackmagic almost nothing to include the software, so thinking that they could reduce the price without resolve doesn't make sense. The camera is already priced too low, I'd just accept the extra license and sell it if you need some cash.

The Body is not Magnesium alloy. It is made of plastic. The Chassis is Magnesium alloy. The Body is wrapped around the Chassis. How the hell Jesus Christ, I guess I Can't say it on here.
To quote the Canon website regarding the 1DC "Exterior Material Magnesium alloy" We all know that these magnesium alloy bodies have coatings over them, and whether or not that is plastic doesn’t matter in the conversation. In this thread of conversation, you yourself referenced “Nikon D810 has a Plastic, carbon chassis”. What matters here is how robust the carbon fiber reinforced chassis will be in comparison to magnesium. I don’t have any doubt that this material will be perfectly useable, I agree with you in that. However, I would appreciate it if you could realize when you are trying to make a point simply for your ego. It is important to see the difference in use case between the covering around the camera and the camera chassis. While as a covering it may be perfectly fine to use plastics, it is also reasonable to suggest that this may not be suitable as the chassis as well, especially in a professional use case.

Is this a joke? I think everyone knows Canon has been making several Magnesium alloy bodied cameras for years.
No idea if it was a joke or not. Just wanted to end the random discussion.

I think you will find the bodies are made of glass filled polycarbonate. Plastic to you.

you can find on the Canon website that they are both Magnesium.

Trust me, I have my hands on some ProRes and DNG materials from the camera (acquired from NAB), it's clean af up to about 6400. Noise pattern is very pleasant fine grain, due to lack of compression obviously. The sensor is confirmed to be IMX294CJK, it's the STARVIS line from Sony Semicon with BSI design, originally intended for low light surveillance.
ProRes screenshot:
Are you able to share any of this footage?

I don't believe the pocket 4k uses a standard 2 pin lemo. The male pins are inside of the camera, where on the Lemo connector the male pins are in the connector.
