I am new to this forum and I am excited about the MFT addition because I own the GH2 and GH1. I have been watching the release of the news and footage concerning the GH3 and I'm torn between it and the BMC, but only due to the pricing structure. I love the ability to capture raw with the BMC, but quite honestly I wouldn't be using it for that, the ProRes workflow is much more desirable for my situation and I think that will be the case for most MFT buyers who are moving from the GH2. For me, the picture quality of the BMC is superior to the GH3, but the GH3 may be good enough and who knows how good it will be after it is hacked. I'm not saying that the BMC package isn't worth the money, it is, but for independents every dollar matters. If Blackmagic will decouple the BMC from the software package and offer the camera for between $1,500-$1,800, it will be a no brainer, and I believe they will convert many people like myself who are looking at purchasing the $1300 GH3 into customers for the BMC. In addition, after getting use to the BMC I believe many would then look at acquiring Davinci as their production values and successes begin to climb. Please consider this option!
