Shows up with an old BMCC to talk about the new ones not knowing anything about them.

Yup totally pointless.

So far doesn't appear to be saying anything you couldn't glean from the press releases. Specifically not answering stuff like whether it's a CCD or CMOS sensor in the 4K.

Edit: Well that was pointless. Laforet now. Bleh.

From Wikipedia "In January 2009, the SDA announced the SDXC family, which supports cards up to 2 TB and speeds up to 300 MByte/s".

From mee. Low end cards which most people buy bottomed out in price awhile back, the high end cards have gone through the roof, and they seem to be milking it with the 64GB 95MB/s card being out for awhile now along with the other top cards which have barely dropped in price. Recent additions to that top speeds category including Toshiba's Xceria which have brought prices down a bit suggest we are getting near the next speed jump, and perhaps this is the missing part of the equation. I would guess a minimum of 150 MB/s but perhaps they will just gun it and release the 300's side by side (for a serious premium of course). After that comes a new form factor.... I put my money on cylinders.

@mirrorkisser I doubt it. It has some strange swirly bokeh. Interesting at first but I grew to hate it. YMMV.

shian just had a heat stroke! but its been a long day with all those announcements :)

The major contributing factor to the other companies not doing this is that they're top heavy. They have too many departments working on too many things [TVs, Stereos, Bluray players, headphones, electric razors, mp3 players, cameras, lenses, etc.] And all that creates massive overhead. They can't afford to take these kinds of risks. BMD can do this because they are agile, and clearly they have a 5-10 year plan to move everything in their direction. The new DaVinci 10 has convinced me of that. They have put Canon in their sights as #1, and everyone else as #2. If they continue to push the envelope, and offer great gear at lower prices, the consumer wins. They will build a trusted, loyal consumer base, and that's what they want. I like BMD and what they're attempting. I think they'll eventually turn the whole film/video market COMPLETELY upside down, but they still haven't made a camera for me. I want them to succeed. But I'd love a RED-killer Camera for under $8000 [preferably $5000] (And before today I'd have been insane to ever think of such a thing being possible).

16bit 4K, variable frame rates [I don't think 200fps@4K is too much to ask for], decent ISO 50-6400 usable, 13+ DR [18 is insane, but I'll take it], a solid 3:1 RAW codec, global shutter, swappable short flange mount with factory machined options for popular lens types, SSD slot, small modular form factor 5-7lb range, and an EVF of some type.

When that BMD cam comes out. I will kill muthafukkas to be first in line to get it. I figure they're a year or 2 away, depending on how badly they want to be #1.

I'm not seeing any thumbwheel...

Hopefully it handles distortion & CA corrections, too.

@DailyFilmFix Sure is..

@Vitaliy_Kiselev (a) It's pretty clear from the press images that the demo model at NAB has a Panasonic pancake lens on it! And (b) John's blog says it is active MFT as well.

ALSO - to anyone complaining about wide angle. Now that this has an active MFT mount, the Panasonic 7-14mm basically solves that problem for under $1000.

@Mirrorkisser Well said I'm with you on that this little thing will be a beast @ that price point check out John's blog about it http://johnbrawley.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/the-pocket-rocket-blackmagic-downsizes-the-bmcc-and-does-a-4k-upsize-of-the-orginal/ He really breaks it down.

@iancarlson3000

Nope, thay just write compressed raw (and it still not working, just in project).
