Got in tough with BM today.  VERY PROFESSIONAL and QUICK RESPONSE.

Asked about "raw video" and various shots for download.
[i]This is definitely on the to do list.  We were all screaming around trying to get ready for NAB and not everything was able to be done.  The guys were barely able to slip out for a few days with John Brawley to do some test ENG shots.[/i]

Also, there is more work that they need to get done before they are really happy to say 'this is a finished image'.  So probably within a few weeks there should be more video which we could use to make a better assessment as to what BM truly has.

Here's another jpeg.  Incredible dynamic range.

Note: The camera is not calibrated yet.  So ignore the noise.

WOW x100

Again this looks like Alexa footage grabs.

Stunning.  Thanks VERY much for the updates.  Not that it matters for me - got my BH preorder in last week.

This industry moves so fast but BM really did crush the Bolex and Ikonoskop with this announcement.  If it lives up to half the hype ill be happy.  Going to be nice to leave the digital DSLR look behind with this cam - should be fun!

Must be the cheapest price in the UK. Not listed on BM website as a recommended stockist. The only thing is if demand exceed supply they may not be the first to get it. Will there be a long waiting list once the first batch sell out?
