I find the discussion really hilarious...
So many people have been whining for the last few years that BMD doesn't have a box camera (although they did with several models).
In the forum, someone had even demanded that BMD release something like this, because as buyer of a Pocket he would have the right to it (yes, the argument was actually that absurd).
Also the "cheap plastic housing" of the Pockets was repeatedly criticized - although this is one of the main reasons for the low weight.
Then comes a new camera in box form, instead of plastic now an aluminum/magnesium alloy.
Now people are complaining because the camera is too heavy. And because an external monitor would have to be rigged (if the camera - like the other BMD box models - had no monitor at all, there would have been no complaints?)
But if you rig the PYXIS with a sidegrip etc. for handheld shooting, then you're actually back to the pocket format anyway.
People used to moan about the LPE6 batteries, then about the NPF batteries, now you can use the 14.4 volt BP-U batteries - and people are moaning again.
With the C300, for example, nobody gets upset - the battery hangs in there in a very similar way. With the Sony FX6 you also have to retrofit the V-mount battery with a plate and holder - nobody gets upset.
