And as already stated :
"shooting RAW files is not a license nor an excuse to ignore proper exposure techniques".
Christian, can you show us some of your low light material, (that you shot with the BMC and used your light meter), whereby the results are better, than just expose to the right till the 100% zebras go away?
Oh, wait ... you don't have a BMC. You even have to "borrow" the picture of a BMC for your avatar.
So have you ANY first hand experience, with exposing the BMC and handle the files in a proper way in Resolve?

"[...]At the end of the day the main reason to buy this camera is its price tag/recording formats. If you are whiling to compromise on a camera with a small sensor and functionality limitations (hope most can be fixed in a future firmware update), then it is the camera for you.
For me it wasn't, hence it was sent back to my dealer.[...]

Oh, how cute.
Johnnie Behiri shot in ProRes with "Video" baked in color, treating the BMC like one of his usual ENG cameras (which makes no sense of course) - he has zero experience about shooting with raw, since he didn't even try. His dog footage shows, that he (under)exposed it like an run&gun camera, instead of learning the characteristics of the sensor first.
Look, I just came back from Canada, where I shot 3 weeks docu footy in raw under harsh conditions.
How can somebody dare to say "For documentary shooting style, RAW is not an option"
It was a great option for me, and I did not think for a second, to shoot ProRes, cause I now how to deal with raw,I know the benefits it gives me and I have a solid workflow.
Same goes for lowlight. I have shot a ton of lowlight stuff with the BMC. Heck, I guess I was even the first one, that made a public lowlight shootout. It's just fine for 800 ISO. Clean blacks, low noise if you are know what you are doing.
But if you are so sure, the BMC doesn't work for you, just cancel your order and move on. Maybe that camera isn't for you.
