pre ordered today 906,66€ (752,- net excl VAT)

For a camera that costs that price, with all those features... I think a battery charger wouldn't hurt to bad.

I see the 2kPCC has Lanc controller. It would be great if the camera controlled the lenses and specially that it could take advantage of the O.I.S, like in the 14-140. Any info on this?

The more I look at it the, the more this looks like the camera to buy. At first I had discarded it completely, but now if you add a speed booster with it and I use my Nikon lens, I will be about gh2 crop which is good enough for me in term of dof. I cannot wait eternally that some dslr manufacturer (Nikon) is going to bring a true HD camera and at least 10 bit codec.

If the 4k camera had 1080 60p prores even only in 15/20 sec burst mode, it would have been an automatic buy. As thing go by better invest in glass, because the camera are changing too fast with blackmagic being the perfect example.

I hope they have put an olpf on it and it seems the jello is better, perhaps because they have less pixel to read. Lets hope we will see some footage soon.

@niGGo do they transfer the money before they deliver? otherwise i would order there this very second :)

@VK

thanks vitaliy, did not know we have this section now :) I will call the usual suspects these days. although its like almost impossible to get a regular BMCC at a european seller right now. Meantime i will expand my c-mount collection and look for good deals. found sound amazing schneider kreuznach stuff, supposed to be for double 8 cameras, could that fit on the sensor or is double 8 smaller than 16?

anybody found an option to pre-order this baby in europe yet?

Is there any way that a Speedbooster could be used to focus an MFT lens onto the smaller Super-16 sensor of this camera? There should not be any vignetting issues, if my math is correct. The only question would be around flange distance, and physically mounting the lens to the Speedbooster (modifying it if necessary).

It is just impossible, physically.

Just put in a pre-order with HotRod Camera as well - thanks for the heads up on its availability with them.

This is probably the wrong thread for it, but since there has been quite a bit of talk about the Metabones Speedbooster in regards to this camera, here's a question that I'm wondering if anyone can answer. The difference in sensor size between Super-16 and MFT is a factor of 0.7x, which just happens to be the focusing coefficient of the Speedbooster. Is there any way that a Speedbooster could be used to focus an MFT lens onto the smaller Super-16 sensor of this camera? There should not be any vignetting issues, if my math is correct. The only question would be around flange distance, and physically mounting the lens to the Speedbooster (modifying it if necessary).

If this could be done, it would mean that a Voigtlander 17.5mm f/0.95 would effectively become a 12.25mm f/0.7, equivalent in FOV on this camera to 36.75mm on FF. Needless to say, that would be absolutely incredible: an unprecedentedly bright, wide-angle lens.

see no evidence that Blackmagic is delivering a crippled chip with an active 1920 x 1080 pixel area any smaller than the full sensor area. Vitaliy, what gave you that idea.

Their words "gave me idea". They said that it is same sensor as BMCC, just cropped. And you can just check images.

Been perusing the boards - so... c-mount. Do you all think the edges will vignette? Does it matter which lens you use? Just learning about it as an option and it got my brain a-tickin'. There's lots of c-mount zooms out there from the looks of it. Could be my next camera depending on need for additional lenses.

@bwhitz crop is all relative. Compared to full frame photographic (stills) frame side, yes. It is 3X crop. But compared to Super 35mm frame size, it is less.
