A camera is a system. Not simply the sum of it's parts. Black Magic have designed a gorgeous system that creates a very beautiful and individual aesthetic, while providing the latitude and high(er) quality potential of RAW output. If that is what you want/need, the BMCC is perfect for you. The "point" with any RAW camera is to be compression free.
If your priority is fast frame rates, there are plenty of other cameras out there that do precisely that...quite well.
Remember, this is their **first camera**. There will be new ones in the future, no doubt.
It boggles me that no matter how well someone builds a wheel, there are always people that will want the wheel to do more. Like fly...and cost pennies...and give birth to cute puppies.
Ever see that Simpsons' episode where Homer designs a car...yeah, you're all like that
This isn't just limited to this forum, but ANY and ALL forums I follow. We've become a culture that's just never satisfied...
