Blackmagic 4K camera / Da Vinci bundle?

So I think I can speak for the whole community of indie filmmakers and say everybody was excited by the the first BMCC, even though a lot of people felt unhappy with the sensor size...

Now you guys are doing it again with the 4K camera with a S35 sensor and I'm sure a lot of people are as excited as I am.

Now I didn't buy the first BMCC because of the sensor size, but also because there was no availability.

And now I'm thinking with the experience you guys had with the release of the first one, this will be a lot smoother in terms of distribution and everything will be great... except I don't see any mention of Resolve being included with the 4K camera?!?!

Now I don't know if this is a mistake, or if you guys decided to change your strategy or whatnot. All I'm saying is we people love a good deal and not including a license of Resolve with the camera will make us feel that you're cheaping us out.

So I'm just wondering what's your take on this. Remember this is a product for the masses, people who don't necessarily have tons of money to spend on equipment. And if we love it, we share it with our friends and with social media, happy customers can be more effective than tons of money spent on maketing campaigns.

So what do you say?

A full version of Resolve will be included with the Production Camera 4K. Resolve Lite will be included with the Pocket Camera.

For the sake of clarification: with Resolve 10 coming out, will the 4K Production Cam include the new Resolve 10, or will it be packaged with Resolve 9 like the Cinema Camera?

Thanks for the info!

Supposedly, Resolve 10 comes out in 3rd quarter 2013 so if the BMCC4K ships in time, it'll probably have Resolve 9. I think I heard Resolve 10 is a free upgrade so either way, you'll be able to upgrade when Resolve 10 comes out.

Thank you for the precision Christine.
Maybe you guys should mention it on the product description page because it is not written at all, unlike on the BMCC product description which has it in the title. That's what had me confused.
Anyway, good luck to you; and let's hope there won't be any shipping problems this time.
You got yourselves a new customer

When Resolve 10 was announced it was stated that its a free upgrade to all Resolve users. So if your camera ships with 9 you can download the latest version when released and it will work with the supplies dongle.

A full version of Resolve will be included with the Production Camera 4K. Resolve Lite will be included with the Pocket Camera.

UltraScope is not listed as included with the 4K camera. Is that correct?

Cheers.
