I own the GH3 (which I only bought to complement the BMCC because of it's capability to shoot sharp, detailed 1080P @ 60FPS), and agree it's a good all-rounder, however, as impressive as its features are, it's 8-bit colour-space and dynamic-range (which is not bad) are no match for the BMCC.
As much as I'd like it, I'm not asking Blackmagic to give me my MFT BMCC right now. Cause I know that's not gonna happen. Not even next week at this rate.
I simply want an answer to this question; will the MFT BMCC ship BEFORE or AFTER the two new BMD cameras?
If it's after, then I want out. I want to try and sell all this gear (including the GH3) that I burnt my money on - gear that has been sitting here collecting dust FOR NEARLY ONE YEAR. I would like to sell it all, sit back and see the quality of the two new cameras, and then buy them IN A STORE AND OFF THE SHELF. I will never, ever pre-order a camera again after this experience - NEVER.
Why is this so hard for BMD to answer, let alone understand???
I am heavily invested now in MFT lenses, batteries, SSD drives, IR filters, ND filters, the GH3 - ALL BOUGHT FOR THE BMCC - that's a lot of money - if my camera isn't coming for a long-while, then JUST TELL ME - TELL US. I'm not gonna hate Blackmagic for it, I'll probably love them more for the TRANSPARENCY - but if my camera isn't coming, then I would like to try and sell off all this gear I've invested in.
Christine, if you're reading this, I REALLY CANNOT BELIEVE Blackmagic is ignoring this simple question. Just tell us if the MFT BMCC is shipping BEFORE or AFTER the two new BMD cameras.
You know, God help Blackmagic if the MFT BMCC ships after the two new cameras...if people that ordered the two new cameras only a month or two ago get their cameras before the MFT BMCC people, many who ordered the EF over a year ago (then switched to MFT around eight to nine months ago)...then hell...I think that'll be the ultimate death-blow to a lot of us.
I really don't get it - I don't get this silence from BMD about the MFT BMCC. We've been loyal this long - I paid for my BMCC in FULL on June 2nd 2012, then switched to MFT BMCC when it was announced. The least BMD could do is give us some TRANSPARENCY in return. Then again, the last form of transparency there was was an interview with Dan May back in February where he said "the MFT BMCC will ship in two to three weeks"...
I dunno. This is ridiculous.
