Maybe they will charge for extra capabilities via firmware like follow focus, auto iso, wave forms....

BMD hasn't charged for new firmware features in the past, what makes you think it's going to start charging for them now?

Because their is always a first time.
Because this camera is missing some features.
Because if they make it better for the same price it might eat into the sales of other Bm cameras So thy do it in installments.

I hope they never do and probably not but it could be a possibility specially with the bmp4k.

Some sensors have 14 bits.
aIf you are not truthfully progressive, maybe you shouldn't say anything
bTruthful side topics in-line with or related to, the discussion accepted
cOften people deceive themselves so much they do not understand, even when the truth is explained to them
