Things seem to be turning a little sour &/or strange here. Maybe I can help:
I was among the very first to recognize the importance of the initial BMCC announcement, in fact I remember explaining it at length -- as a game-changer -- to a mystified buyer at B&H PhotoVideo and urging him to get in on the ground floor before it was too late. Small thanks for this, I imagine! they'll skin me alive if recognized, I wear the beard from an old Santa Claus costume on the rare occasions I still dare to go over there.
It's approaching a year now, and like most of you -- I still don't have the camera! I should mention I never ordered one in the first place -- for a number of reasons ... it just wasn't possible, ok? Meanwhile this super-gigantic line forms and turns into the slowest-moving line since I-don't- know-when. Can you imagine how I feel? Maybe not!
On top of that there's been the question, would this camera plus all the stonking accessories (especially for editing RAW) actually pay, or would the accumulated cost send me to the bottom, like the Titanic? Even if this all worked out, would the gates of Art then open and whisk me through? More than one poster here has been pleased to say that hardware won't save you, but how can this be true -- what about a life vest & dry-suit on that same Titanic?! Exactly! So much for the primacy of so-called Talent. Beware these online strangers claiming to be the only adults in the room!
Anyway and in spite of all this I've managed to keep my spirits up, applying Talking-to-Myself Technique (tm). Those of you in need of relief should feel free to contact me, though the Forum I guess. My ministrations will cost considerably less than the (maybe-phantom) camera, let alone an editing set-up. If your native language is other than English -- my soothing, consolatory and straighten-up therapy utilizes brain waves, so language will be no barrier. I can begin radiating directly to Your head the moment payment is received.
Thank you.
