Ive been waiting patiently for my BMD order but, 120fps, 4.5k, Super35mm sensor, high ISO and PL mount already for an extra 1000$ I won't be surprised if BMD next camera will be the BlackMagicCinemaPro with all the SAME specs as the REDONE . Eric, since your a RED user, whats your opinion on all this.
Im a REDUSER through work but fell in love with the tech over the years as VFX/DIT/Colorist/Editor.
When the BMCC was announced, I ordered two for m future personal projects.
The wait didnt kill me but when the Battle Tested Scarlets were announced, it took me three days to mull it over then decided to buy in.
Im deep in it now and its not a cheap adventure.
Ive been meaning to write a post at both BMCC sites about all this.
Buying into the RED ONE MX should never be about replacing the wants and need of the BMCC.
It should not replace the void left by the long dragged out release of it.
You buy a camera to get you moving forward.
The RED MX start-up costs is double what a BMCC will get you.
I would love for everyone to get into RED gear but Im being honest that you really need to give your head a shake before making kind of move.
I could have cancelled my BT Scarlet and ordered the RED MX as well since my company has all the gear required to get me going but thats not how I want to get into this business.
I want to stand on my two feet with my own purchased gear.
The bonus about the RED MX option is that there are tons of original owners willing to sell their parts for the RED MX cheap.
You just got to approach them.
I am hoping I will be able to buy a BMCC ariund spring.
So Im pulling for BMD to get out and going
