  • Also don't forget the global shutter, kinda a big deal for motion. But yeah it was due to ship in July, still nothing ...

  • been hearing that bm wont drop the bmmcc untill feb/march due to a few problems with the global shutter, at least there not releasing it with problems , unlike dji with there x5 ...so i'm not that bothered as the weathers crap here anyways, but would be nice if bm let people know rather than guess work...

  • X5r dropped in price, you can check the topic for it, so BM still cheaper, but no so much features.

  • the dji x5 is a big fail, lots of unhappy users on rc groups, seems to be ok for photos:)

    Unhappy with what specifically?

  • Video is the letdown. Low bitrate, flickering images, soft / mushy details and mixed results after constant calibration.

  • great news from BM the micro is shipping in january :) but i'm not sure what year, or is january july or may, who knows ..june?

  • Hello Ryan,( found this on another site)

    Thank you for contacting us. The Micro Cinema Cameras have not yet shipped and I do not have an official release date for that. As of two weeks ago beta versions of these cameras have gone out to our beta testers so I know that we're close to a release. It should be sometime very soon.

  • the above post might not be true!!! i'm to eager for news

  • Endless rumours, who knows which are true (maybe all of them). Here's someone claiming to have one, though the photo looks pretty staged, maybe even photoshopped (cam looks slightly weird): https://www.instagram.com/p/BAidmqRwazM/. Or it's a beta tester or BM shill ; ).

  • That's definitely real, it's Noam Kroll's instagram, he's a known blogger.

  • Cool (http://noamkroll.com/about-noam/), he must be a beta tester then. That's a good sign.

  • First short film shot on the Micro Cinema Camera by Noam Kroll

    here are his comments:

  • Thanks, interesting. Nice grade & atmos. I'm not noticing any jello on the walking shots, GS or fast RS? Looks like he's not allowed to post any camera details yet.

  • Not GS, but fast RS.

  • How do you know?

  • @AlbertZ Damn that is a great look on the Micro. Love it. Definitely going to be considering this camera for film work.

  • @_gl just look at the comments here: http://noamkroll.com/micro-a-short-film-shot-on-the-blackmagic-micro-cinema-camera/

    Briefly speaking, the BMMCC seems to have less IR pollution, good response in tungsten lighting and way better battery usage...however please take these statements with a grain of salt, it's very soon...

    No words about DR and Global Shutter yet...

  • Looks like it is susceptible to moiré (at 17 seconds on the chain link fence). The BMMCC is looking better to me from a rolling shutter stand point as compared to the BMPCC. Exciting times - I'm glad I held on to my c-mount lens when I sold me BMPCC. Hopefully the BMMCC will fill the needs, I was hoping the BMPCC would fill.

  • @AlbertZ that's great, so sticking to RS for the better DR is quite feasible for a lot of stuff, something I was hoping for. I guess a side-effect of doubling the frame rate (compared to the Pocket) is that the sensor can be read out faster= less jello.

    @majoraxis yeah looks like it, I wish they'd fit an AA filter already, or offer one as an option. I'd pay more for it no problem (though hopefully less than an aftermarket one).

    welcome back all my dear colors. I sold the BMPCC because of the heavy moire but I was holding my m43 lenses because I hoped this issue could be solved at the BMMCC. Thanks for the hint. And by the way: Lumix 12-35, Nokton 25mm/0.9. Lumix 7-14 for sale

  • BMD confirm that camera is with beta testers:

    "Along the same lines as our URSA Mini 4.6K, the Micro Cinema is out in the wild with beta testers as we speak. I don't have a time frame for these being available with resellers at this time but we'll have some update on the forums/website when they are." (Tony Rivera, BMD Community Manager)
