I still think BMD boffins can pull the turret off...let's not forget they gave the world a HD raw cinema camera that fits into your pocket!
For under a grand.
If not, so be it - the BMD boffins aren't that clever, but they still make nice cameras.
Personally I would wait until it comes from the horses mouth, although messages from vendors aren't reassuring.
BMD should have the decency to clarify the situation.

The way I look at it is that it's growing pains of a company "new-ish" at making cameras at that time. They're getting better with announcing and shipping because they don't seem to be announcing before being ready to ship a product for the most part.
Not many people will agree with me, but that's how I view it. RED sure made mistakes and even still to this day... look at the Red Raven situation.
It does suck though because I wouldn't have bought the Ursa if I knew it wouldn't be upgradable. That was one of the perks for me. Or at least... it would be upgraded in a timely manner rather than WAY behind their other cameras. But we also get amazing color, DR, raw/prores, etc, for an amazing price so I can't be too upset. That's just my opinion. Others won't agree. That's fine.
It's just sad seeing the Ursa just sit there collecting dust while I shoot on the UM4.6k.
