Best place to buy in us

PostThu Nov 15, 2012 4:59 am

So the wait has to be killer for someone who has already purchased one of these. - I am sold by One River Media testing video - wow tremendous results - I ditched our DSLRS 5DmII and 7D, and am ready to make the jump -

From what I am reading the back log is March 2013? - IS there any rental houses, - or how to we go about the best way to purchase a BMCC?

What an amazing tool.

Also is there a working list of compatible lens and other accessories for the camera?

And any good solutions for the battery? =

Hello!
I suggest reading through the forum.
There's been numerous threads about battery solutions and lens compatibility.


Lens info here:

and battery info here:
/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=989&p=13742&hilit=battery#p13742

There's an awesome search function that can help you with a ton of info!

Welcome!

I hate to dampen your enthusiasm, but the outlook isn't good at the moment. No one knows for sure how long the backlog will take to clear, but there are a LOT of pre/back orders globally and not a lot of cameras being made...there's even less information on the issue.

Your best bet, in my opinion, is to find a small reseller near you that is on the approved reseller list from BMD, and go with the one with least back orders.
