Well , I need for a feature film shoot that can be well projected on big screen theatrical release.
If you can wait several months, and you can light your scenes adequately and have access to high volume storage, go with the BMPC4K, shoot raw, edit in 4K where there are effects otherwise use any size you prefer such as 2K or HD, grade in 4K, and create your deliverables in downscaled 2K.
If you can wait a couple of months, take a gamble on the BMPCC MFT but buy EF and EF-S lenses plus the future Metabones Speed Booster. That will give you a stop faster lens on a sensor that may be a stop faster as well with greater dynamic range (another stop) and a angle of view slightly wider than the BMCC! You can still produce a HD deliverable but still do raw etc as above if you can.
If you can't wait, grab the BMCC EF to use the same lenses as you will with the BMPC4K you will eventually want. All other recommendations as above.
In terms of feature film use, you may see some difference if you mix it's footage with the other cameras in terms of sharpness, but depending on the scene, lighting, desired look, you may not. Of course the image quality between the BMCC and the BMPCC will be nearly identical.
Edit: corrected previous ludicrous advice to put EF lenses on BMCC MFT with Speedbooster as my brain was on vacation--hey it's Sunday.
