I was number 8 on my list last month when I checked but I'm not sure about the refund of my payment that they talked about. I guess I'll be getting my $3K back before January...I need to call them again and find out more.
This may sound silly Paul but I'm still having second thoughts. I'm bothered that I still don't know if any of the basic firmware "fixes" will be done by the time my camera ships (i.e., VUs, f/stop, record time, exFat, etc.).
I'm also bothered that I still see no future for Thunderbolt on Lenovo laptops. Sure, there's a model out now with TB but the screen display won't work with UltraScopes and this model lacks the horsepower for CS6.
I'm still bugged by my lack of understanding the RAW workflow. I really suspect that I'll need a whole new system and that I may never get Resolve to work on a laptop.
I'm still thinking about a C100 and a Ninja 2 so my workflow doesn't change right now. I actually have a shoot in January that really needs things my 7D won't do (long recording for one) and the C100 is sounding perfect. I'm haunted by the thought that I should go ahead and cough up the money for the C100 and put it to work immediately in my 7D workflow and w8 until lots of BMCs are out there being used for my types of work.
I'm a person who likes to "know" what I'm buying. I don't like surprises and got'chas. After nearly eight months of gathering info the forum way, I'm coming to the conclusion that I won't really find out about the BMC from BMD. I'll need to hear the consensus of the working users after everybody has their camera (minus NDAs) and is talking real world real talk. I'm still indecisive and I should be thrilled.
