Are you the terminator? :)

I don't think so in this patent system. Just find a new way to describe an egg, and submit it.

Actually, hen laying. I should see if I can try that sometime. The patent examiner might think it is a way to use a new desert machine. :)

BMD says Buy Now but B&H Photo says Coming Soon. For the sake of the early adopters, I hope it ships by the end of July but it may well be August. Still fantastic though if it’s only a few weeks away since cameras announced at real NAB conventions can ship in late September or later.

No, I’m not ready but my final mortgage payment on the home is in September! Having a party... fairly small gathering outdoors celebrating three different things in one party.

I can guess a 12k is not one of them.

Congratulations on paying it off, and everything else Rick.

A sign of BMD's progress and maturity as a camera manufacturer that we now believe "July" might actually happen!

As long as things run smoothly, that's what you expect. The timing is long enough after NAB, they should have an idea.

He’ll have a 6 paragraph response to the announcement tomorrow. :lol:


I finally watched the release video. The additional footage by the engineering team helps a lot.

I see stuff there. It reminds me of when the gy-hd10 was released.

Saturated colours are boosted, skin tones greyish, and when you boost the skin tones to compensate it's looks over done. Same thing as I saw in the forestry example elsewhere. I'll have to see a successful grade to decide how this is going be in real life. Even Grant looks greyish, and yellow on the video.

The outdoor engineering scene has black shadows and better hightlights, it blown highlights to get good shadows (walking under the overpass). As I said, 16 stops and that will look better. I didn't realise the video was claiming really high end, which made me comment. 16:16:16 video, 16stops+, 16bit+, 16 stop signal to noise ratio. I see a negative film look. Arri are going keep going. Bayer was actually designed to be much better than the existing sensor patterns, which is why it has been a staple of pro cameras. White pixels are good. As long as you can still get Alexa level colour detail. But no armchair expert picked up on these things.

The question is how far can it be.pushed against an Alexa with its 12 bits.

Six paragraphs.
