Blackmagic Cinema Camera true 5DMkII successor

[Simco123]

Blackmagic has confirm their new cinema camera is born out of the 5DMkII. They want feedback with this camera before proceeding what to do next. Interesting to know there are "bunch of things" they can add to this camera, hopefully higher frame rates. Sounds like it is a camera made by geeks for geeks :D

why 5dmk2, not GH2, which sounds more similar?

Someone better push for an m43 mount option.

Anamorphic framing anyone?

My only worry is the CEO of BMD looks an aweful lot like comedian Peter Kay.

I really hope it is not the same guy. I dread to think that all those who pre-ordered only to find the existence of such a camera is part of a practical joke :o
