Update on Camera Shipments

Catastrophic release of such a promising camera.

People who pre-ordered in April are only just starting to get theirs. I'd buy a RED just to be given solid customer service and transparency.

Cuboirs I'm not going to get in a pissing match with you about semantics..
I paid for the camera.. there was a promise of a 2 week delivery.. and now here we sit months later waiting for an update..

I don't hate BMD.. I don't hate the camera.. I think Christine's cool..
I'm just not too thrilled with the situation.. I'll get over it.. it's not the end of the world.

Like everyone else here.. I just want to know what's going on.

No update for an hour on this thread? Gotta be a record!

And no update from BMD like promised!....no record, just usual business practice for them.

Until you hand over a signed warranty card and register the camera, NONE OF YOU are customers. Your grievances are with the resellers who duped you into preordering. They have your cash, not BMD. Again: you are customers of the gosh darn resellers.

Hard to believe there are still folks voicing that tired company line. I was directed to the BMD Website by BMD at the NAB announcement (where shipping in July was proudly exclaimed) to see a list of authorized resellers who would be happy to take my preorder for a BMC...made by BMD. I placed a deposit and later payment in full for the BMC...made by BMD...marketed by BMD. There's nothing confusing about that...BMD is in this preorder strategy to their elbows and no number of apologists will ever be able to change that.

OMT, in Texas when somebody tells you they'll post an update in "1 or 2 days" and they don't, we have a name for that. What do you call that in Australia?

!!Bloody wenkers!! period.

crickets... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Here is the long-awaited update for Twine, a Kickstarter project that's about as late as the BMCC. However, they seem to be able to do the PR thing right. Why can't BMD provide us with something similar?

Here's the current status by the numbers:

1,029 Twines shipped so far and accelerating. This week will be our first to hit 1000 per week.

2,800 Twines delivered from our New Hampshire factory and tested (more arriving every week).

9,000 Sensors manufactured, testing more than halfway complete.

48,000 pieces of cardboard folded to form 6,000 Twine boxes. That's about 678,000 folds!

Mr Lam??????

Another update just posted by Grant, here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2431

I'm going to lock this epic thread, but we're leaving that thread open for comments, so please feel free to continue this conversation over there!

thank you!!!!!!!!

Disregarding optimism for dates or anything, I hope that they can resolve the glass bonding company... whatever.. issue and get the machine rolling.
