Well according to one retailer here in the UK (who shall remane nameless - no not CVP I deal with others here in UK too) BMD are famous for their lax release date ethic.. as in they NEVER meet deadlines. They say Canon are always on time, Sony are better than BMD but not as good as Canon, but BMD are near bottom for meeting their OWN release dates.
I didn't know this, but I am beginning to realise this now as I wait for two of their products to ship 3 months after originally intended.
I am NOT anti BMD before someone implies that... I love their products at reasonable prices! I own the following BMD devices: -
Smartview Duo
SmartviewHD
ATEM 1 M/E
BMD Sync Gen
BMD SDI distribution
BMD HDMI to SDI converter
Hyperdeck Studio Pro (paid for but not released 3 months later).
BMCC (again still waiting like the rest of you)
So I would say I have been a good customer of theirs. However, I think people's excuses for BMD are irrelevant. Saying that they aren't going to be as good and as on time as bigger companies that sell their products for more money is a silly excuse. If they sell a product they have a right to treat the customer fairly no matter the price. FULL STOP. They shouldn't release dates they cannot meet. Just as RED shouldn't etc.
Anyways, just letting off steam! To the limited few who HAVE their camera, I hope you are enjoying it!
