I remember when the BMPCC 6K G2 came out, the older model was discounted to $1,795 to blow out their stock.

Did B&H in the past made 500$ discount for 6K Pro as well?

BMD put the original BMPCC on sale for a few weeks in the summer several years ago. We all were suspicious they were ending the original BMPCC with a 50% reduction in price. But we were wrong, it was a promotion likely to reduce stock levels but afterwards there was no new camera introduced and the price went back to $995; the camera continued to be available.

If there is a BMPCC6K G3 on the way and it has a 1500 nit screen like the BMPCC6K Pro, that might be worth waiting for, but only a fortune teller would know. It may just be a simple sale to reduce their inventory or to fulfill volume commitments made to suppliers.

They extended the sale another day. They still have them in stock:

A $500 price reduction in 2020 reduced the cost of the original BMPCC 6K to $1995.

The sale at BH is over. The price is now $1595 USD.

Although there is a shipping delay, Adorama now has the 6K G2 for $1495:

The good news is that unlike BH, on a backordered item, Adorama doesn't charge you until it ships. If you cancel, you don"t have to wait days while the bank collects interest on your money before you get a refund.

New car dealers get a credit off the invoice value from the manufacturer on unsold previous year's models. It's a possibility that this is happening for their major retailers, and a replacement camera is waiting in the wings.

If a new model is coming, I hope that it offers a CFExpress card or a better USB interface to allow us to record at the higher bitrate BRAW 3.1. An improvement in rolling shutter artifacts at 6K would be welcome too.

Or could it be that Blackmagic is responding to competition by now offering even greater value in their cash cow models?
