Camera Shipping Update: 12/14

[Grant Petty]

Hi,

Ok good news everyone as the test run of sensors have just been built into cameras and they look good. Very good. So we have just given the sensor supplier the go ahead to commence volume production of the sensors and we hope to start getting them within the next week to start building cameras. How many cameras? I am not sure, as we have all stopped production and so we all need to restart production and see how many they can produce. However we will be working hard to build as many cameras as possible over the next few weeks.

I hope people start to see more cameras shipping, but it might be a good idea if I post another update early January to update everyone on how production is progressing.

As for the micro four thirds model, it's ready to go, however the problem is I feel until we are shipping a whole bunch of EF model cameras, there is little point building any of the MFT model. So we will ship as many as we can and then perhaps see where we are mid Jan and do a few MFT models then.

It is sure a relief seeing this problem coming to a close. I cannot believe this happened and it's been an incredibly frustrating delay. However I am feeling really positive now.

thank you.

Thanks Grant! Hope it all goes well from now and i'm looking forward to using this camera.

Wow. Now I'm preordering

Ok grand!!! Thank you, it hasn't been so difficult. Now we hope everything is ok, and BMD can get in mass production. But the next time you have a problem talk to your costumers, the way you dealed with all this is not worth from a professional international company. You need to do some to restore trust from many people on your brand again, but building the camera is a good start. Thanks.

Jesus

Thanks!

Awesome news! Thanks Grant.....

Good update:

I hope you mean the m4/3 model will start production when the ef model preorders have been filled, and not just stockpiling a bunch of ef models... m4/3 > ef IMHO.

Glad things are getting back on track, but sad the m4/3 model will be delayed.



Cheers.

This is not meant in a derogatory fashion, but I'm just going to reset my expectation to seeing my camera in March and go back to my beer.

Cheers, everyone.

Thanks Grant! Happy building.
