The BM Pocket Camera

PostTue Aug 27, 2013 1:58 pm

I received a response to an email I sent bmd asking about the pocket camera availability, and their response was "Contact your Reseller for more information".

I did not order from CVP, but the CVP twitter page says it all, and it is the same with every dealer I have contacted.

Mine shipped from ProAV.co.uk today. They received their 2nd batch this morning. I was 2nd on the list.

So they are shipping... Just slowly. Which is what BM said when they announced the cameras were ready to ship.

The dealer I ordered mine from are getting another delivery this week.
Like on every thread of this nature - the cameras are shipping, slowly but steadily.

Yes they do... for now. Though let's not get our hopes too high while the BMD engineers look into the blooming effect.

I got mine yesterday. (Videoguys AU, 6th in line).

Very happy with my new toy, and very surprised that auto focus works when I hit the button with my Panasonic 14 -140 HD Mega OIS lens!

Music to my ears. I'm low on the list but knowing 6 left videoguys makes me hopeful.

Doh! Second shipment received at ProAV? Should have ordered from them! Ordered instead from CVP. And CVP claim they don't know when they are getting the BMPCC......

I received mine on Monday from Orms in Cape Town. Apparently one of two in the shipment they received.

Keep in mind some resellers have been lying to customers about stock. B&H were telling people they hadn't received any until irrefutable evidence was shown to them that people received BMPCCs from B&H.

At the end of the day, be patient and they will come. The wait just means you can save for kit.

Received my BMPC from B&H today (shipped out Monday.) Preordered it on the 8th around 3pm Eastern, so I wasn't early in the queue.
