Well, obviously it helps those who are posting. While waiting for news, _any_ news, good or bad, every one checks in here from time to time, finds nothing new, yet wants to say something, anything, to pass the time.

I'm pretty sure the Pocket CC won't support UHS-II. This standard has been specified in 2011, yet there haven't been any cards or readers available when BMD showcased the first Pocket CCs earlier this year. It would be a _great_ marketing advantage if the camera actually supported UHS-II, thus their silence about UHS-II is a clear statement of its own.
It's no shortcoming though, as UHS-I is just fast enough for mildly (lossless) compressed raw. Right now the lack of large _and_ fast cards is the real problem, but that will resolve itself quickly once the cameras are out and demand rises. Future UHS-II-cards will be downward compatible to UHS-I, and if they are fast enough through UHS-II they also will be fast enough on UHS-I.
UHS-II compliance might - in theory - open the camera to recording uncompressed raw, but what for? If BMD comes through with compressed raw recording, why should any one want to record the (bit wise) same data less effective?
