Hey everyone,

Just wanted to jump on here and give a heads up. The cameras are shipping now. The initial shipment was rather small, smaller than we would have liked. This will change as our part supply ramps up. Once that happens production will ramp up and we will be able to deliver many more cameras at a time.

However, it is worth noting, we still have a bit of a back order to get through so it may still take some time to get your unit.

Rest assured that once we get ramped up, we will not simply be shipping five BCC's at the a time. Without getting into too much detail, B&H did get only a handful on their first shipment, and the rest went to some of our OTHER dealers in our channel.

So...we totally understand your guys excitement to get your cameras. Just rest assured we are working as hard as possible to get them to you quickly.

Congratulations! I thought you would come through if only in limited supply initially. But the horse is out of the barn and now all hands are hoping to corral him!

Thanks Joshua!

Is there any way that you could list the dealers that are getting cameras?

Great news! Thanks for the information, and congratulations on a happy milestone.

I understand it will take a while to ramp up, but I'll keep my fingers crossed, and hope to hear from my dealer in the days and weeks ahead.

All our best to everyone working so hard at Blackmagic Design.

Hi Joshua: Fantastic news about initial end-user "customer ship"!

Best of luck with the ramp up! (I look forward to my BMCC arriving ASAP.)

Cheers to everyone at BMD!

This is good news. Hopefully a decent number have been made available to Australian resellers before shipping off to B&H etc.
