They say the same here in Italy... I think they don't have a clue at all
My original post of the Green Day song "Wake me up when September ends..." is starting to sound just right
from CVP (Sept 4th)
"At the moment, there are no Blackmagic Cinema Cameras currently in the UK...
...We have 200+ units currently on order with Blackmagic which will cover our pre-orders...
Blackmagic have informed us that we will be receiving an initial shipment of 30 units which means unfortunately your order is just outside of this first allocation."
from twitter CVP Group @CVPgroup (8th Sept)
"Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera delivery update: Mass Production is stalled by component shortages so deliveries will be tiny in short term."
"....suspect that we'll get 1 or 2 cameras a week at best for the next few months "
Sounds like production has been hit by a pretty serious delay, and if CVP's estimate is correct then the limited shipping is indeed very limited, so it may optimistic to expect delivery before the end of the year unless you're right at the front of the queue. I would expect the situation is the similar regardless of where orders were placed.
Here's hoping the delay is short term and they can ramp things up soon, but lets not get our hopes up too high
