I heard 15 minutes. And not being able to delete takes in camera make that seem to be a very short recording capacity to me. You're going to need a bunch of cards to shoot the kids at Disney World and there's no way you could shoot a one hour lecture or a soccer game.
Yes, you'll probably need a bunch of SD cards to shoot the kids at Disney World, especially if you shoot in RAW mode. Some people might choose to do it anyway if they want the video to be
very high quality. However, if it turns out that record times are longer with the BMPCC's ProRes mode, more people will record that way, and still get better-than-average quality.
At 79GB/hr., ProRes 422 HQ 1080p24 will require a relatively large-capacity SD card to record a long lecture or soccer game. I doubt most people will choose to record long lectures or entire soccer games with a BMPCC in RAW mode, but if an adequate SD card exits (now or in the near future), maybe they will.
There's no 1 perfect camera ideally suited to every purpose. Including cameras that
don't have a Blackmagic Design nameplate.
