When are BMD going to stop lying and also release satisfactory products?
Every time you hear a release date you know, you can see by the body language on these BMD representatives faces that they are lying through their teeth! Why not just be honest and say look, we have got this new camera coming out, it will be acailable by Christmas. Rather than 'hey guys, we have an idea for a camera, it will be shipping tomorrow? The next day! Deffo next week! Yep it's all cool it will be with you in 3 weeks. It is pathetic behaviour for a company that considers themselves professional! The truth is they are a bunch of amaters that are burrird way too deep in their own BS!
They are so full of pride that they never swallow and say, look we won't make that same mistake again we are gonna give ourselves enough time to build this camera. But no lying is a better option!
When they finally do release 3 cameras into the market they are miss sold as something they are not! The BMCC is still missing features stated a year ago that it would have, the pocket camera is stated as shipping with RAW on the product page, the stores, and the box. So anyone who doesn't follow the forums but buys this camera in the specs stated by BMD are being lied to and sold a product that does not do anything like the product description. This I'm afraid is not only deceitful but also an Illegal practice! But BMD don't care if what they are doing is dishonest and illegal as long as you but the product!
They don't respond to criticism and ignore people who have had enough of being lied to, what they do do is get a "respectable" cinematographer named JB to come on here and worship the ground they walk on pretending to be independent, dispute getting a constant flow of free cameras from BMD. JB would never ever criticise the deceitful, lying, illegal behavior of Blackmagic design.
After constant delays with the BMCC I canceled my pre order and pre ordered the pocket camera under the promise that these would have no problem being shipped in July. (Brawley insists that these were shipped in July because he received all 5 they made in the 4 months prior) to all the peasants like us who ordered in the first hours of NAB we are still waiting at the end of September, with no sign at all of any 4K.
When the anyone did receive a pocket camera, it was usually a camera celebrity or company that would help in the promotion of BMD dispite promises that it would be first come first served and to add insult to injury that would sometimes receive 2 each, Again BMD incapable of telling the truth!
The general overview of this camera was that it wasn't a quality product, plagued with shoddy manufacturing problems such as, incredibly poor battery life, white orbs, shocking sound, display problems, poor build etc etc!
After seeing that this was a shoddily made camera I decided to buy a BMCC now that they had slashed the price by a $1000.
One or 2 weeks after receiving my BMCC it died and has to be sent back if repair. It seems that there are more broken, defective and unuasable cameras being sent out of the BMD factory's than good working cameras! Why??
BMD! Why should we hold any faith in you as a respectable company, after a terrible track record, why do you still give out reduculously optimistic dates? Do you enjoy getting a bad reputation??
If you just gave yourselves 3 extra months on your deadlines you could be respected for releasing productucts even a few days before! And thus way you would have more time to refine your products rather than sending out batches and batches of defective products 2 months late!
I don't get it, it is the most common sense thing to do. But for some reason you guys prefer lying about release dates and ignoring the problems with the cameras, then you tell everyone that the customer is what BMD is all about! Ha ha that is laughable! I've never seen such lack if respect from a company to their "valued" customers in all my life!
I know this will be ignored, after all your ignorance and dishonesty is making you a lot of money!
Thanks
