Update on Camera Shipments

Where was anybody called a name??

You called mhood something... we all saw it. I can't recall what but it was rather harsh and unfounded. You seem like an angry person. I wish you well and I don't know why you are this way but I hope whatever has made you so upset gets sorted out for your sake. God be with you man.

Where was anybody called a name??

I call BS on you mhood and anybody else callously using the camera delay as fodder to act like an imbecile.

Yup that's it:) Actually that's calling us all names... now i'm bad;)

"act like an imbecile" (a reference to ones behavior)

"you are an imbecile" (calling someone a name)

Kinda different...

so sensitive we are

Just to set the record str8...I have never once in my entire life smashed a window and stolen a Cabbage Patch Doll. This is a clear case of mistaken identity. ...now if there were BMCs on display at a video store somewhere here in Texas...

By defending BMC against rabid customer backlash on an internet forum..?

uh, ok
Thanks, may the force be with you too!

We all know what you meant. Please move on.

Anyway's another update not telling us much but at least it was an update. I would still like numbers. How many are going out? Are we likely to see our pre-orders fulfilled by December?

Hmm but when someone is pro BMCC you call them Kool-Aid drinkers and mock them... when they criticize BMD you go nuts and call people names... where EXACTLY do you stand as to me it seems you are pro anarchy?

either way you say it, "you are still going on a rant about "those who you believe act like imbecile's because they are ranting about this camera" I'm sure youve heard the story about the pot, and the kettle.

We all know what you meant. Please move on.

I meant what I said. Im calling out the REACTION to the problem, not that CAUSE.

Move on indeed, right after you...

What is happening?

Hahahaha. That about sums it up.

I really don't know... Theodore being Theodore:) I'm indeed moving on!

The word "schizophrenic" came to mind...That didn't make much sense to me either. I wonder if Teddy is trying to get this thread closed?

So are cameras shipping today, or what?

So are cameras shipping today, or what?

Yup. Next question.

Am I receiving my tracking number today?

Ok cool they are and how many are shipping ?

Tracking number???? Who got a tracking number???? Probably some late ordering MFT over the counter type, huh?

Haha, people aren't receiving tracking numbers. The lucky few are just opening their doors, and finding BMCC's on the porch.

Somebody stole my BMC off my porch last night!!!! Please ship another and file an insurance claim.

Oh man uncalled for

Eric would you be so kind to direct me where is it that I can see the RED equip special sale

Many thanks!

Sorry but that was the Battle Tested Scarlets announced two weeks ago.
They went like hotcakes in 4 days.

Currently all Digital Cinema camps are going through some angst.
Not sure about Canon and Sony but I know the other ones that matter are.
I really want things to work out for BMD.
The BMCC announcement has rekindle my love for creating my own cinematic world
I wont be using one till Spring but I am keeping a close eye (heart) on this one.

Just curious of how good was the red sale ? How much we're the Scarlet's and what was included?

"I can't tell you much about it.. but we just did a massive project with a need for a pretty special 3 second shot, so they rented a whole truckload of Scarlets from us ... more Scarlets than most people have seen in their lifetime.

None of them had more than a minute of record time. We can't sell them as new.. and the rental was good.. so we are giving you guys a one time break on these as " Battle Tested " Scarlets.

$7100 instead of the regular $11,900. Scarlet Brain, Side SSD and Canon Mount. And because I know someone will ask, you can't swap the mount to a Nikon or PL for this deal.

They come with the standard Battle Tested 90 day warranty.. but we will open up RED ARMOR just on these since we were with them 100% of the time that they were out of the box and are as close to brand new as you can get. "

BUT Red will be announcing new pricing on their camera lineup. Oct 31st.

True.

But, as my Mom used to say, "There'll always be another sale."

True.

Honestly, I'd rather pay $3k for what I can get from BMCC over $3k+++++ for a Red.

True. Honestly, I'd rather pay $3k for what I can get from BMCC over $3k+++++ for a Red.

Agreed.

I used to own a relatively expensive camera (see below), but then I decided I'd rather own a house (and live in a more pleasant city), so my financial priorities shifted. Sold that cam, among other things, moved to a new city -- and into my current home -- [Note: Cam sale did not pay for house! (grin)] and now happily own much less expensive cameras, and rent expensive cams as needed. Other folks make different decisions for a wide range of reasons. Whatever makes folks happy is all good. Cheers.

Yep I thought so too but with all this sitting on my hands waiting for something great to come, (which didnt) so I grabbed the brass ring and ran with it
I dont mind paying for the extras, I needed them anyway.
All but RED specific items (e.g. LCD Touch, REDMAG SSD and DSMC Side handle...) can be used with any camera and that will be the BMCC when if it ever lands.
I saved 4800 for this camera, now hoping it doesnt drop that much for a new one or I will be cancelling and re-adjusting for a new Scarlet.
Only bad thing is that it will push delivery back a month (I think).

Well, here is another no update "update" from Grant today. These just keep getting worse!

"We are going to give an update in a few days, however we are shipping cameras, but less than we want to be. We are trying to get more schedule information from the supplier and will have an update once they can give us some numbers. We are only getting sensors in small batches, but they are working to improve speed. So we are shipping cameras, but just need to get it faster.

Will have more news soon.

Regards,

Grant"

I know. Red is looking more appealing as the days go on. I just don't know what to do.

Regardless of where you live, it's a first world problem having to decide between a $3K camera or one that costs 2-4 times as much.

But I do feel for you bro!

Cheers.

(Be safe in today's storm!)

To my knowledge none of these items can be used. Not even the LCD Touch.

Thanks Peter. So far so good. Still have power (obviously) but the worse is still to come.

Be safe to all the north easterners out there!

Sony NEX-FS700UK Super 35 Camcorder with 18-200mm Lens and Sony HVR-Z7U HDV Camcorder are better than BMCC! Well, at least they are not ghosts ! C100 is on the way!

BMD, here is a great proposal. Sale your "invention" to any of the experienced camera makers? It will turn your migraine into cash. Just stick to what you know best; which is capture cards!

Beginning to agree....

Just to set the record str8...I have never once in my entire life smashed a window and stolen a Cabbage Patch Doll. This is a clear case of mistaken identity. ...now if there were BMCs on display at a video store somewhere here in Texas...

You are a funny Dude!

I don't know who told you that...I'm clearly a repetitious imbecile. My wife tells me I'm an acquired taste. My Granddaughter has blocked me on Facebook.

Well that is even funnier!

Spoke to someone in sales today and was told they're shipping very small amounts as of now ,as they are still experiencing some defective sensors....not all...and that they're shipping in accordance to preorder dates so first people to preorder will receive first come first serve....as my reseller is the actual per order source I'm not sure as to when I'd be receiving mine...but she said most likely after the new year .....NOW THAT SUCKS....

C100 where are you?

I like this bit from creative video on the F5 page: -

These cameras are an active demonstration that Sony are determined to regain the ground lost over the last 5 years or so to competitors such as RED (With the RED One, Epic, Scarlet), Canon (EOS 5D, C300) and (if they ever deliver) Blackmagic Design (Cinema Camera) because they appear to have taken note of all of their rival’s key features and combined them all to create what appears to be the most versatile and capable mid-market digital cinematography camera.

Yeah, if the ever deliver indeed.
