I love what they're trying to do, but there's people still waiting for their pre-ordered Jellocams, and now they're announcing cameras that will make them cancel their order and wait another year to find out they want to cancel that second order. If the 4K version goes M43, they might actually get my money. I small lightweight 4K RAW cam would be awesome, but not with a EOS mount, you'd think they'd learned their lesson the first time and went M43 so as to have the most versatility in the glass dept, and an easy PL solution with an adapter.

Most fun if existing BMCC will slide to around $1999 with annoucment

How on earth can they announce a new cam when they haven't gotten out a fraction of the "old" one. How will they meet demand?

So now they have 4 models and can't manufacture 1. It's absurd. I've been waiting since sept.

I'm finally jaded by cameras, I think. I won't be excited until there's a buy-it-now link on B&H.

If this is real and they can ship these now and they work...damn!

I can't believe it. I have been on the wait list for the BMCC MFT for six months now and here they go another two possibly jawdropping cams. They start to turn me into a fanboy without ever owning one. I got "appled".

Wow. BM is grabbing the RAW niche big time. That S35 4K cam is one step away from being my idea of a "perfect camera". Alas, after all my joyous time spent with mirrorless systems and adapters, I positively despise the EF mount. Someone at NAB needs to give them flack for that (mostly because they listened to flack last time and gave us m4/3).

So is the pocket cam's sensor smaller than BMCC?

My god, this had better not be a hoax.

After 5 years of disappointment with every camera release I want to believe!

@squig, I believe that a 4K model shouldn't really have any Moire issues. It's not being downsampled like going to HD or even 2.5K right? I could be wrong, but I thought much of the problem was going from higher resolution down to smaller resolution.

I know they stumbled on the roll-out with the first camera, but hopefully they've learned some lessons in the process. I'd say they had to pull this move to keep ahead of the game. For anyone who has had their BMC for awhile, the usual arguments still rule, these new models do not invalidate their camera, in fact less so than in many cases with other companies. Anyone on preorder will have to think, and the forum hype will be about the new cams, but it seems there is still kind of a niche for the 2.5k model, in my opinion, especially if they add compressed raw or a feature or two.

I passed on the 2.5K jellocam. I said to wait, but this was more than I could have hoped for. Also unless BMD offers a RED like buyback program there's gonna be some pissed off 2.5K jellocam owners.

Now, it'll still be a year before they get the fucking things to market if the 1st GEN version is any indication.
