For those who are waiting.

Just got an email from BH.
Telling my EF BMCC is supposed to arrive EARLY MAY.
Order was placed November 4.

What # were you in line?

B&H doesn't release that information. Anyone who ordered from B&H does not know what number they are in line.

Unfortunately.

That's too long to wait ... NAB is in April with POSSIBLY a few new cameras.

I think you are being very optimistic if you really expect your camera to arrive in May

I ordered in August from B&H and I've never received an email with a date or expected date.

I ordered my EF BMCC at B&H on November 5.
On January 10, I called the guys and they told me I was 523 th on the waiting list. Until that day, the total orders for BMCC was 693. Each day I'm more impressed with what this camera is capable of. When I ordered, I knew I would have to wait. I keep waiting. May is good for me, considering that I ordered in November.

How can B&H give you an estimate, when they don't know what BMD are capable of in terms of Full Production?

Like they need to even bother with this mess.

Same.

They usually send this stupid email telling we are still waiting.
So I wrote directly to customer service, and that was the information I got.

So...

"Please be advised that the BLACK-MAGIC BLACKMAGIC CINEMA CAMERA EF MOUNT you have on backorder is expected to arrive at our warehouse early May. As soon as we receive it from the vendor/manufacturer we will promptly ship it to you. We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience."

I ordered in November too...

Now I'm depressed, I was hoping sooner but I was being too optimistic. May would be on the fast track and to think that I bought most of the gear expecting to have the camera around that time. I was dead wrong.

On the bright side, maybe Metabones will have their adapter (EF lens to MFT mount) ready by then. I would have to change my order to the MFT.

A lot of us ordered between June and October thinking a possible Dec/Jan release.
I cancelled both mine in Oct (ordered June).
I doubt anyone outside of May has received from their distro.

ef lenses needs to be powered, from where this would come from ? btw metabones already had a nikon to mtf speed booster, in their labs, someday it will go mass production.
